Day 222: Duran Duran

From one legendary British rock band to another. Yesterday I shared my favorite songs by Queen. Today I found out that it is Duran Duran appreciation day. I have to admit it is the first time I found out about an appreciation day for a band. But I also admit these guys well deserved it.

They had their biggest succes in the early eighties. So for a lot of songs I am not even sure if I know these songs from that period or if I picked them up later in life. Two songs I definately know from that time. The videoclip of The Reflex made a big impression, especially that big wave in the clip. And as a big James Bond fan off course I picked up A View To A Kill. These guys made some amazing videoclips.

Anyway, here are my DD favorites, enjoy!
