maybe one day these guys will get the credit they deserve for being a legendary band. now of course, without chic and roxy music, they don't have a career but that's beside the point.

#2 Me, That's Who... says:

Chino from the Deftones has cited them as an influence back in their early days. It's sad to see people like Jon Bon Jovi still performing and staying somewhat relevant while better groups fall to the wayside.

#3 Durandy says:

Steven Patrick Morrissey, I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. There are critics out there who just wait patiently for the next DD album to come out, and then pounce on it, trying to drive the nails into their coffin. With a storied career that has yielded much influential impact on how people make, hear and see music, Duran Duran have earned their place in history and deserve respect. It's good to see others recognize that. I think the band actually may become eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame soon.

Thanks for sharing your insights. All my best.
