No one on the thread vouched for Duran and they came second. I guess my idea that they are irrelevant was bollocks, it wouldn't be the first time. I like Save a Prayer. I like Wild Boys and The Chauffeur, too. "sing blue silver" is etched in my mind. It seems profound somehow but isn't at the same time.

"sing blue silver" seems all surface, no feeling, which, I guess, may be quintessential 80s.

what the fuck does that mean, and how is surface not felt?

sorry, it's so weird to me we're STILL having these authenticity discussions almost 40 years after synths and Ferry-esque mannerisms fucked everyone

The DD Night Versions are huge faves too.
Growing up just about all my best girl friends were HUGE Duranies. I was in denial for a long time but i think all that exposure eventually seeped in there.

The Hot Tracks "Gloria In 3D" remix from 1984 is insane:
