Duran Duran - My Teenage Obsession

What is the 80's without Duran Duran?

This band was one of my life's obsessions and was I kept busy collecting their posters!

My favourite was Simon Le Bon. I even sketched a portrait of him. It's lost now!

But my schoolmates and I were constantly fighting over who was cuter. Most of them liked John Taylor. Such a sissy. It was always Simon for me.

Not only were they so full of personality, they played excellent music. Let me just try to find some of my favourite Duran Duran songs and post them here.

At that time, music of that era with the British bands in the forefront were described as New Romantic. And sound that got everybody grooving was New Wave. Beautiful.





Save A Prayer -- one of the best songs ever written. See it here

A View To A Kill -- who could write a better James Bond theme song than Duran Duran -- surpassed expectation!!!

Come Undone --who could write more romantic, amazing lyrics than Duran Duran & Madonna.
