Lines: 40 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.
