Duran Duran

• The way I can tell when a song is really good, is when I listen to it and feel like I've heard it before. I feel a connection with the song from the start and I just know right away because I can feel it and my ears immediately pick up the beat and dig it. I can only think of one band with such a sound that I can honestly say holds its own when it comes to constant hits. Those hits that are timeless. the ones you can play decades after and expect people t recognize it, sing along, and dance even. The Band? The cute.the talented.the timeless experimental synth rocky pop sound of the early 80's...Duran Duran :)

After seeing H&M use a cover of Duran Duran's Girls on Film I realized just how timeless they are. below are the Original and the cover for the commercial.

Check it OUT.



I like both but the phrase "Nothing beats the original" cannot be dismissed.

- Created in Birmingham, England (1978), Duran Duran's big break came on the Second British Invasion wave of the early eighties. Since the eightie's stir of "One Hit Wonders" was desprately seeking bands with consistently good songs, Duran Duran made a perfect fit. Another factor that played an important role in their career was their experimentation and passion for film. With MTV rapidly putting Music Television as the source for new, chart topping, popular hits, making music videos meant getting your music out. It became a must because radio was already beginning to die out.

Some of their most famour hits:
-Hungry Like the wolf
-Rio
-A View To Kill
-The Reflex
-Save a Prayer
-Notorious

My Favorite :)
