"Synth pioneers and eighties legends 
Thy favourite tracks my good folks? "
Love them!
Come undone is my favourite, followed by Planet Earth, Girls on Film, A View to A Kill, The Wild Boys!
Had tickets to see them in concert about 10 years ago, but my child became ill and we didn't go! Gutted!

Wouldnt say they were synth pioneers but the first two albums were cracking.
Favourite track? Tough to pick one but I tend to lean towards album tracks
Friends of Mine
The Chauffeur
New Religion
Mind you I love their version of Lou Reed's Perfect Day

"Is it just me or has Simon Le Bon’s nose grown as he’s gotten older? 
Anyhoo - View To A Kill - surely the greatest Bond track ever? (Ah Ha’s a close second mind) "
Must be all those years of singing through it! |

"Never seen them and a few years ago I had to give up my ticket through work commitment.

They was amazing. We saw them on the first night of their paper gods tour. |

"John Taylor - still would. "
The teenage girl I was wouldn't have shared him, I was obsessed! Now, however, I would definitely share him with you

Random but nonetheless invaluable Duran Duran factoid: Did you know that John Taylor (bassist) and Roger Taylor (drums) and Andy Taylor (former guitarist) are entirely unrelated?
What are the chances eh?
Also note: Durans, Roger Taylor does NOT in fact play drums for Queen
No need to thank me |

Delighted to see The Chauffeur getting so many votes. I'd say The Chauffeur and Careless Memories. Got a soft spot for Wild Boys too. Ridiculous song...
Betting lots of you like Japan too... |

There and to the left a bit |
Hated them back in the day but have grown to appreciate them a little more now...only really know the singles but picks of the crop for me would be...
Rio
Save A Prayer
Planet Earth
Girls On Film
Le Bon almost drowned during the making of the Wild Boys video apparently
And whoever mentioned View To A Kill and the Aha song as best Bond themes....are you stark raving mad? Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live And Let Die for starters are all miles better |

"If a club did a new romantic theme night, I'd be there before you could say eye shadow and hair gel!I might even be tempted to come along too. "
Something along the lines of the opening scene from the Bowie film "The hunger". |

Seen Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel many tines through default at festivals.
TBH didn’t know DD covered it, but thanks for introducing me to it, it’s awesome, & agree much better than the original. Is it on an album, or only a song they play live? When I closed my eyes it could have been Erasure!! |

I've not seen it on albums. I've got the vinyl 7" of the reflex. I'm sure it's the b side off that song. Been a while since I played vinyl lol. X |

My teenage bedroom walls were covered in John Taylor posters. I took my daughter to the Paper God’s tour and got told off for screaming!
We had such great seats, I could see JT’s finger work  |

Yeah but you augmented it, I didn't know about that track.
Similar era.. Heaven 17 who included Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, two original members of the Human League got their name from A Clockwork Orange. Just shining up my geek badge here  |

Saw them when I was younger, I fancied Nick and my mate fancied Simon. We didn't do any screaming as we too cool for school.
Saw them again with same mate a couple of years ago in Liverpool, still great

I can remember watching the video for Girls on Film at my friends. Her grandma was disgusted, we on the other hand were swooning.
Nick Rhodes was my teen crush.
My sister went to see them in the 80's, I must of been 12ish and she said I was too young to go. I never forgave her for that!! |

They were sexy in a page three kind of way. If you want low down, dirty sleaze you need Soft Cell. "Non Stop Erotic Cabaret" is one of the perviest recordings ever made and I still play it now  |
