Reed Rothchild | 9,918 Editorials Team · Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Master thread with standings Ratings key: 10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.7 - Very good, but not quite great.6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.1 - Horrible in every way.0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJimtendo | 1,210 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Hungry like the wolf as it was used in the big fat liar movie made me appreciate the song on a different, more intimate level. https://youtu.be/sBcezyV6OXs The reel big fish cover complete with lupin the 3rd music video was icing on the cake.https://youtu.be/yxNw1bgH4dQ and the goldfinger cover of Rio as a tribute to Ronnie James dio is just a thing of beauty. https://youtu.be/tg4V3HZbl4o Actual Duran Duran 4/10 Edited January 23, 2020 by SuperJimtendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeevan | 9,155 Events Helper · Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 8/10 Most 80's bands will get this or above from me. I just love the 80's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 5,206 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It's odd but as a kid (in the 80s) I hated this type of music. The older I get, the more I actually enjoy and appreciate bands like Duran Duran, and it doesn't really feel like nostalgia either. My Mom and Dad didn't listen to the stuff and the most I heard it was snippets on TV or being pumped into stores. I'm feeling generous today and gave them a 9 of 10 as one of the best bands of that style of music from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,890 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 As a Band, I've never been that crazy about them. But the songs Come Undone and Ordinary World are two songs that have never and will never get old to me. Both of those songs are in my car right now.

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,094 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 5/10 Some of there songs are ok for me. I'll stop on a radio station that's playing them, but won't go seek them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 3,153 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A solid 7/10 for me. Not a lot of substance here, but quite a few really good songs. They are a bit of a "guilty pleasure" band to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,092 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 7/10 I enjoy most of their hits except for Wild Boys. They would be a 9 had they spent as much time on their music as they did their hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 At least an 8/10 for me. Their music videos were over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins | 1,804 Moderator · Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’ll vote a high number for any band behind a Bond song, and theirs is one of the best! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball | 176 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Save A Prayer and The Chauffeur stand out as simply incredible synth work. Still a 5/10 overall for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuNKeY | 241 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 6/10 for the most part as I recall their videos on MTV/VH1 (when they actually played videos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
