"Skin Trade" is GREAT I dont remember hearing that one back in the day. Is it or is it not Simon singing lead on that song?End Quote

Simon's the lead. My favorite song of theirs is "Lonely In Your Nightmare". Sentimental reasons, of course.

Simon has an awesome ballad he did as a solo effort called "Grey Lady Of The Sea".

If you like ballads, you should definitely check it out!  :)

Quoting:
It used to be "The Reflex" but now I'm torn between "Is There Something I Should Know?", "Hungry Like The Wolf (Night Version)" and "New Moon On Monday (Night Version)"...

They have a lot of great songs!  :D

Yeah, that's my problem too; Being "torn" between tune choices. To choose only one favorite is impossible. That's another reason I chose one of the lesser known tunes. I figured the others would be mentioned time and again anyway.  ;D  :)

Quoting:
Save a Prayer is a masterpiece.  Also Girls on Film and Rio are pretty good,too.
End Quote

I would have to say that these are my favorites too.

Quoting:
Save A Prayer
End Quote

agree ;D

Quoting:
I guess (If I HAVE to pick one, lol) my favorite would be Careless Memories from their first album. End Quote

That's an excellent song!!!  :D  Good choice. It is a terribly underrated tune.

Quoting:
So many to choose! To this day, one of my absolute favorite bands. It's a three way tie between Planet Earth (single version), and Hold Back The Rain or New Religion from the Rio album.End Quote

I think it's awesome to see some of their other tunes being mentioned!

New Religion and Hold Back The Rain are very good indeed.

Some of my other faves I just have to mention:

Anyone Out There

Last Chance On The Stairway

The Seventh Stranger

:)Does anyone remember the song I think called "Make me Smile"  I had a live recording and it was one of my favorite D2 songs.
End Quote

I remember hearing that circa '86 (a live version I believe).  I would love to get my hands on it.

Do you mean the uncensored version of "Girls On Film"?  It was virtually softcore porn!  ;)  I have it and "The Reflex" and the latter is just concert footage with a big psychodelic tidal wave splashing down from a huge video screen above the stage.

Yes that's the one! it's really cool :)

Ugh, ignore that last post.  I really should hook up this coffee I.V. before writing anything.  :P  Or maybe my dyslexia is acting up again... heheh!

Said the agnostic dyslexic: "Why me Dog?"  :)

I saw the uncensored version of "Girls On Film" when I was around 11 years old on a videotape compilation of Duran Duran videos I rented. Needless to say I was just a wee bit embarassed to be seeing all these naked girls with my parents lurking around. Not to mention horrified!!

Absolutely Vile

It's a great video  ;D

End Quote

I'm not sure if you're aware that Make Me Smile is a cover of a Cockney Rebel song.  I believe it was the B-side to The Reflex 12 inch -- possibly picture disc only.



My favorite Duran song is Late Bar which was the B-side to Planet Earth

Quoting:
If I were to narrow it down I would have to say New Moon on Monday is my fave.  Simon sounds sooooo sexy in this song.  I just melt listening to it!!
End Quote

John just looks sexy in New Moon On Monday. ;) :-*

It was actually around 1982 because I have a VHS of them in concert and they do Make me Smile as an encore. I love that song!!!!

Quoting:
btw, they had a concert in Tokyo a coule of weeks ago..
End Quote

Did you go to the concert? How was it?

I also wanted to mention -

Duran Duran's instrumental "Tiger, Tiger" is excellent.

Give it a listen. :)
