Sorry, totally forgot about this thread.

I saw them when they came around on their big reunion tour back in...was it '03? '04? Still awesome as ever. I was a big Duran Duran fan back in the day. I was going to marry at least one of the Taylors and most likely Simon Le Bon as far as my 8yr old mind was concerned. Favorite song back then was definitely "Wild Boys". I went mental for that song for some reason. And I begged my mom to take me to see A View to a Kill specifically because of the Duran Duran theme song tie-in. (oh, and Grace Jones. I wanted to be her when I was a kid, mostly because she was so badass in Conan the Destroyer) I have all their albums, and I have to say that even with only Simon and Nick carrying the fragmented band through the bulk of the 90's and early 00's, their sound was still very much DD all the way. "Electric Barbarella"? Unmistakably DD.

I also have Arcadia and Power Station stuff, but only in cassette form. Never saw fit to repurchase them in CD format. I probably should, if it's possible.

My favorite album by them is Arena, hands down. And it's funny, I'm so used to the versions of the songs from that album that when I hear the versions from their respective albums, it weirds me out a little. But I'm OK with that. :)

My favorite Duran Duran cover EVER is Sleepthief's version of "The Chauffeur". It's more impactful if you watch the music video for it...

The rest seems so dated, and aren't really that danceable. The way Simon forces his voice into the higher registers (shout-whining, I guess you could call it, Tears for Fears is guilty of this, too) makes my eardrums unhappy. It's the same vocal style as the whinier emo bands these days, I'm just... ah, shut up and grow a pair of balls.

Though I can still have a laugh at the Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf videos.

One song I never get tired of is Electric Barbarella.  Who is that woman in the video?

That, my friend, would be former model Myka Dunkle.

This honor should be reserved for 12r, as she is seriously one of the coolest chicks you will ever have the good fortune of meeting. :D But I accept your motorboating in the meantime.

Electric Barbarella is awesome.  It literally sounds like it could have been made in the early 80s. "Emotionless and cold as ice, all of the things I like".  I love lines like that.

I love how you can get all of these different mixes of songs like the Night Versions.

I'm thinking about getting the Arena DVD and Sing Blue Silver DVD. 

I heart Lonely In Your Nightmare in Rio. 

I think I would cream my pants if I saw them in concert.

I even like songs off of Big Thing like Land and Edge of America.

They have a lot of good B-side songs too.

81-85 is the best bar none.

Good songs to listen to in the winter are Lady Ice and Winter Marches On.  Beautiful.
