Duran Duran put out a lot of fun dance music in a very short period of time. I love Duran Duran.
Hi there Jeanne! They sure did and those were some fun times too. I never understood pop lock and break dancing…🤔😁
I am right there with you. I guess we are dating ourselves a bit. 🙂
Hi Jeanne! Hope that your week is off to a great start. When I think of the 80s and 90s bunch as the MaryJaneGirls, Madonna, etc., I say yes we are. And with that dating comes tailgaters and and forefronters. ☕️☕️
Top of the line 90’s pop!
Definitely so!
Hope this song re-encounter will revive that old Duran Duran flame! Much love to you!!!❤❤❤❤❤☕😊
I used to love Duran Duran so much!
I’ve got this in vinyl version! (And I had their posters all over my walls and ceilings – especially Roger Taylor – always did like a drummer 😃)
So many Duran Duran fans. You are a fan and collector.You know Viola, it’s all about keeping their good music alive and the precious memories that comes with it. AOC is enjoying the journey with you! Many thanks for your comment!!
When I’ve time I shall study my collection and it will be your fault that I’m not doing proper work 🤣🤣
NO fault here– hint: I am sure you can get your collection appraised. You obviously have yourself some great memorabilias.LOL!!
Tee hee … that’s what happens when you’re old and you don’t have clear outs of the house!!
Not viola. Sounds like an inheritance. And a big job for family.
One thing for sure … Old or need of clear outs, you have a notable collection.
When I locate it, through the masses, I’ll blog about it 👌🏼🌸
That’s beautiful Viola!❤
.. if you provide the coffee ..
I will work on that!
The whole album is a masterpiece!
Indeed and with many stand-alone classics.
The Patrick Nagel artwork on the cover was just as iconic to the early 1980s as the Duran Duran sound.
Serious nostalgia on two fronts. :-)
Totally I agree. So nice to have your feedback… Two thumbs up!!!
After the 60’s I was a bit disappointed with most of the music of the 70’s but I was happy with the years of the New Romantics (being an old one myself), good, music, great lyrics and some eye popping costumes too.
