Listened to Great When You're Straight the other day.  It stands up incredibly well.  The second album, not so much.  Well, not at all.

[Deano77]

One or two good tracks on Stupid..... but generally weak.

[ian the worm]

too true. That would only be for gold members though

Haaaa ha ha ^haaaa ha haa....

I need more upvotes for this!

I quie like Stupid. Get Higher, Spotlight, Daddy Was A Badi and Rubber Band were all class.

I was one of their schoolgirl fan base and would love to see them, saw them a few years ago when they did their first big reunion tour and they were excellent so much fun and lots of hits I think they would be great on the pyramid

They are one of those bands that it's cool to hate aren't they?  They're fantastic band, written a huge raft of fantastic songs but because girls in the 80s fancied them - ooh no, the cool kids just can't bear to give them the time of day can they?  It's rather pathetic really...

The new album's bloody great too.  Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks.  Giving them the "legends" slot does them a disservice - they've never been a band to go on the chicken-in-a-basket circuit.

or...you listened to and purchased a lot of music back in the 80's when the girls fancied them and didn't see the point back then, and they haven't grown on you or changed your mind in the decades since.

Or they are mostly just a bit shit, apart from the odd single.

Ah yes.  Because girls only listen to music of people they fancy.  For someone who's always banging on about equality you are one sexist fucktard.

And for the record I do not and never have fancied Simon Le Bon or any member of Duran Duran.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If Glastonbury is a journey across a beach, with the pebbles being bands like The Courteeners, Alt J and The Vaccines,  then Duran Duran are slightly odder,  slightly different coloured rock.

It's unusual enough, and yet maybe slightly familiar, and it might perhaps be worthwhile to pick it up to see what it does.

Before heading to a rumshack and drinking a massive cocktail out of a coconut.

In this metaphor the coconut represents, like, Bowie or AC/DC headlining.

[Untz]

I'd rather the coconut cocktail just represent a cocktail if I'm honest.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The beauty of this analogy is that it features both real and hypothetical cocktails.

Wow nice over reaction.

Did the winky smiley not give you a clue that it was a light hearted joke?

Calling every man that has a small joke with a woman a sexist pig does absolutely nothing at all for your cause.

I've made a note not to make the mistake of engaging with you again, dont worry.

 

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

"your cause"?

Men can dislike sexism too, bud.

Yep, we can dislike it, but it's not our fight.

[Gnomicide]

We can rest easy for another year.

Duran Duran would consider Glastonbury (nice of them) but not next year.

[cdm22]

Booooo!

[Martin Ashford]

One of the shittest bands of all time.

Might as well cancel the festival

[PapaBentley]

Sorry I disagree, equality is everyone's fight and everyone should be responsible to make everyone equal.

Also at the same time I don't think it was a sexist joke or comment.

[mungo57]

shame they won't be there, I can't help thinking that would have been quality!
