Duran Duran: Generally representative of the worst decade in
the history of recorded music, Duran Duran epitomized the Style-Over-Substance
motif that marked pretty much the whole 80’s. Any “band” that employs
synthesizers for any reason automatically belongs in the dustbin of history,
but Duran Duran took such fakery to Crap Hall of Fame levels. Combined with
angsty expressions, over-moussed locks and OoLaLa-We’re-Too-Awesome-For-America
schtick, this “band” cranked out a lot of the soundtrack to our
parachute-pants-owning, John-Hughes-Movie-Watching innocence. Just a whiff of
their “music” makes me remember sitting in the vice-principal’s office waiting
to get licks for disrupting English class. Any actual survivors of the 80s will
likely exhibit embarrassment at owning anything related to Duran Duran.
Over-Ratedness Rating: 3/5 Miley Cyruses
