Hi there:


Can I get some opinions "unbiased" please?


Going back in time, I remember the first time I heard "Hungry Like A Wolf",
a really liked it.  Then FM and the Clubs really started overplaying it,
"what else is new?".

I questioned, "Who and What the Hell is Duran Duran".

Shortly I went out to buy their first album "Duran Duran" and
also Rio.

Well, I consider my self a music critic and am really into music, and
coming from a family of professional musicians.  I don't know to
this day, what really interestes me about "DD".  

Their music is REALLY different, some tunes are average, but what
I would consider "filler" music on most of my favorite groups'
albums, I actually LIKE by "DD" and think they deserve FM play.

My favorites are "Hold back the Rain", "Save a Prayer" etc.
I know they sound so Roxy Music-ish, but I really think that
they are innovative.

I even went to see them at the Meadowlands with 2,000 screaming
little l4 year olds.  

Do you think they use subliminal advertising.
