Sounds like something I’ve said many a time…
“And, you know, terminology, genres… I mean, it's such a joke that Duran Duran are in anything with rock and roll over the top of it. Almost everything up until the era that we came along, you could call it rock and roll, because it was free-standing, swing oriented. If you listen to almost anything that was played on guitar and drums in the '70s, you can hear rock and roll."

yeah that’s clickbait, f&$! them for making a headline out of nothing but using john’s words in a different way than intended—and again playing the establishment/critics vs duran duran nonsense.

Joke or not Who cares ? Yet it does matter
Here’s my thoughts
What I know is that DD derived themselves from Glam ROCK !!!
If DD created something from that and turned it into their own eg Glam with or without ROCK ? Good for them ✅ indeed they were the smartest of the lot from the early 80s era ✅ Unlike many DD are still doing it to this day 40+ years in ✅ Got nominated into the R&RHOF when initially were told they’d never, ever would be, & this resulted in the most fan votes (by a mile) in their 2022 nominated class ✅
The joke and/or is that “embarrassment?” is in the R&RHOFames hands/management, how could it not?
Therefore, that is indeed hilarious that DD weren’t nominated 25 years in when they qualified circa 2006
Joke is on you R&RHOF…………….Period !!!
But then what do I know? apart from what it is I’m actually doing on this board and indeed why I voted for my band.

DD is more rock than anyone in class of 2022 with exception of Judas. DD is mote rock than the Cure and DM and they both got in before DD. RRHOF is not about Rocknroll anymore...

Agree A, that fact that dd have no stylistic boundary reflects that they can play anything. In fact R&R is out as we know it and rightly or wrongly has been out for sometime & I’m talking a decade or two or perhaps three

If you compare Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar" and HLTW, there is no difference in music, really.

First off, this article is fake, Duran Duran themselves stated this on Facebook. Second John wouldn't say this, they wanted to be inducted, it was important to them. Third, this whole "DD isn't rock" is complete nonsense. They are as a rock as anyone else to deny this is to deny them. Also, there is a guy on the FB page who claims to be a fan yet insists he doesn't feel they belong in the HOF because they aren't rock and he's trolling.

However, it's because their music fits better into some other category such as alternative, etc. But they are a rock band and anyone saying otherwise is just wrong. Gate keepers suck.

How very true max you have an incredible thinking mind, why I’ve often thought the stones “Let’s spend the night together” & Save A Prayer are derived of the same cloth in essence the fact that one is an uptempo number and the other a ballad, is irrespective, the songs intent/meaning is the same
