A collaboration between my two favorite British male singers. My favorite from this album, the title track, "The Promise", is also one of my all-time DD faves. I find I listen to the album, "The Promise", as much as I listen to DD songs. While not technically Duran Duran, it did consist of Simon, Nick and Roger (I know, no John so it isn't Duran Duran, right?). I agree completely with this list, and I see other Duranies are happy too! What I would add are the songs from Arcadia. I'll just say, I was bummed when I couldn't get my friend's older sisters to take me when they opened for Blondie. I do love Duran and have since.well, I'll keep that one to myself. Thank you everyone for checking out my list. So underrated it makes me weep a little inside. I do think Arcadia harkens back to the original Duran Duran album, which is full of darker songs that made you think they would go goth instead of straight up pop.Īctually I could probably do a hub just on Red Carpet Massacre and how it is filled with brilliant writing, great melody and jamming beats. I should probably do that, so I can listen to it in my car.now I have a greater need to do it. Thank goodness I still have a record player, because I have yet to get it on CD or download it. I think Simon's voice along with Sting's was so made of win. All fixed now.īrenda: All Along the Water, oh man, I do love that one too.īetsy: I went for Friends of Mine instead of Sounds of Thunder, although both are equally haunting.ĮricaM I so love Arcadia. You know when you read something too many times, your eyes can skip over things and I guess mine did. Holy Beth, thank you for that correction. They do great music and sadly most don't get to hear it because it doesn't get radio play. Sorry LaMonica, but you'll have to admit there are so many Duran songs that could also make the list. Steven Batty: I wasn't sure who did the video, so thank you for that! I do love it, though.so very vintage Duran it made me swoon. Vanessa Martinez (author) from Vancouver, WA on July 19, 2013: SHEESH! (you are kind not to have outed me as a blubbering fool). SEE we are all capable of mistakes! I guess it is my favorite track so I have mentally renamed the album. was meant for casual DD fans who may not know of them.Īnd now I sound like an idiot! I don't know why I said the album was called "The Promise" it is of course, "So Red The Rose". Here are all of Duran Duran albums ranked.Awesome! I din't mean it to read like I thought you didn't know of, or didn't like Arcadia. They were also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
