Duran Duran?

[CaledonianGonzo]

A bit apples and oranges though.  Two of those would be headliners.  I own records by all 3 but none by Taylor, Taylor, Taylor and the lads.

Curses, run out of up votes for @Mardybeing mardy

Heres a question? who is better (or worse depending on your perspective) Duran Duran or A-Ha?

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Both are better than The Killers.

Serious answer is that I know a lot of people think pretty highly of a-Ha's post chart fame albums, but I don't think you can say the same of the Double D's.

i'm going to give the Duranies a go on my turntable now....I actually have the Rio album on vinyl through an acquaintance who dumped a bag of records on me that he wanted to drop off instead of discarding.... mostly Rush records since he knew I've always been truly into them (which is a prime example of the types of bands I was really into when the Duranies were singing about Reflex and all)

Absolutely right.  I recommend the albums Analogue, Lifelines and Minor Earth, Major Sky.  

Doubters might be surprised. Might be...

Saw DD once and the 80s classics were great, the 90s stuff was shite though and they played a fair bit of it. Le Bon is a right idiot as well but I have a lot of time for Rhodes and loved the dandy Warhol’s album he produced 

[LiamMcMillen]

A set after Kylie on the Pyramid filled with Ordinary World, Hungry Like the Wolf, Girls on Film, Rio, The Reflex, A View to a Kill, Notorious and The Wild Boys would be a very special Glasto moment. And as Monae is on the farm anyway they can dust this one off...

Nothing, but nothing, will ever top the original, but I do like this from Duran Duran, even though the sound quality is shite;

Very good albums. 

[Badlands]

Does anybody else involuntary sing one of their songs when they see a sign like this??

[danbailey80]

So...Just to be clear...

Duran Duran are really cool and welcome on these boards. However.. Sting and Keane are intrinsically evil and should never set foot at Glastonbury? Have I got this right?

you wot? :blink: 

Some of us can  remember the 80s.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If a reformed Police were to show up in a slot similar to what Duran Duran would likely get then it wouldn't be a bad booking at all 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Remembering the eighties is fine.  The key is not still to be stuck there.

Wonder if they’ll be added later

Me too. How did this rumour start anyway? I would love to see them. I have a strong cheddar on standby

[CaledonianGonzo]

There wasn't a rumour. They're just active the same weekend.
