5 ’80s Pop Artists Linked Closely to the Unofficial Antichrist of Pop, Frank Zappa

Quote:

1. Duran Duran

Though completely unwarranted, Duran Duran were more often associated with their slick videos and good looks than their musicianship during their ‘80s heyday. The band’s classic lineup consisted of stellar musicians, but when Warren Cuccurullo officially joined Duran Duran for their sixth album, Liberty (1990), they gained a guitarist known for his virtuosity. He would have had to be—he’d previously toured and recorded as Frank Zappa’s guitarist.

Cuccurullo’s most famous solo is undoubtedly the one he plays on Duran Duran’s 1992 comeback hit, “Ordinary World.” Cuccurullo was an official member of Duran Duran for five of their albums, and he also performed as a studio musician for three others, including Danse Macabre in 2023.

I like that the singer's voice still sounds almost the same. not many bands can say that after so many years

**Melis** · 01-07-2024, 04:38 PM

I love to hear it.

**Donna K.** · 01-08-2024, 09:39 AM

It is good that it's same voice over the years.

The first James Bond theme song to top the charts

Quote:

Remarkably, the first and only US number one Bond theme arrived in 1985, 23 years into the franchise’s history, courtesy of the Birmingham synth-pop proponents Duran Duran. Led by singer Simon Le Bon, the band recorded ‘A View to a Kill’ in 1985 for the movie of the same name starring Roger Moore in his seventh and final appearance as James Bond.

25 cover songs that totally missed the mark

Quote:

23. "911 Is a Joke," Duran Duran

Now, these Hall of Fame, English pretty boys did a fine job covering Melle Mel's "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" in 1995. However, when Duran Duran went the rap route again in 1999 for this Public Enemy favorite, it was just weird. And, not in an eccentric or quirky kind of way. The distorted vocals were passable, but the bluesy, jug-band sound did not seem to work, and the track seemed all over the place. We're not saying this was a completely futile effort, but compared to its "White Lines" take, this one is rather forgettable.
