This may have been posted on the dd.com board before it died but has anyone listened to the conversation the 2 DJs are having about the question "Did video kill the radio star?"
They discuss Duran Duran and admitted that they considered them pretty boys back in the day but now consider them one of the best live bands out there....
I thought that was pretty interesting

I saw that several weeks ago and was really surprised that they'd say something like that. Surprised meaning like way back when it was all the pretty boys make all the little girls squee type thing. It's nice to know that some of the industry has grown up a bit and can appreciate the music as music and not how old a band's fan base is.

Yeah... most people still don't believe me that DD are amazing live. It was just nice to hear Duran get at least a small bit of street cred for a change.

I agree - my husband went with me to see them in 05' and couldn't believe how great they sounded. In particular, how great Simon sounded. Everyone we see live is compared to the Stones for him. He is a HUGE Rolling Stones fan. If he thought they were fantastic, then they were!! By the way, I like Mick and all but... sorry, no comparison to Simon!

Yeah I've never understood it. The Beatles were marketed like a boy band and yet now they are revered as rock gods. Duran Duran gets marketed like one in their heydey and they get lumped in with groups like Backstreet Boys and NKOTB... I don't get it.
I mean, as a male, I didn't get into them because of how they look or how they dressed... I became a fan because they make AMAZING f'ing music!
