Duran Duran

Duran Duran is a group pop of English origin very popular with the the United States, the Canada and the Japan (but also in Italy where - rare fact - their forever weakened success), belonging to Romantic vagueness Nouveaux (partner with the New Wave) of the Années 1980, especially known for the quality of its video clips. It is made up, in its most famous formation, of Simon the Good (song), Nick Rhodos (keyboards), John Taylor (low), Andy Taylor (guitar) and Roger Taylor (battery) - this last is only one homonym of another Roger Taylor beater of Queen. For the anecdote, one can also specify that the three " Taylor" cities does not have any bond together.

Success, decline and revival

After having occupied the front of the scene at the beginning and in the middle of the Years 1980 with titles imparables like " Hungry like has wolf" , " The Reflex" or " Wild boys" , the group (then become a trio) largely lost its superb one at the end of this decade; before knowing an renewed interest and of popularity at the beginning of the Years 1990 (with the individual " Ordinary world" and the album from which it is resulting), unfortunately somewhat transitory. Returned on the front of the scene in 2004 (this complete time, with the five members of origin) with the album Astronaut , they - despite everything - did not lose of their liveliness, as well at the rhythmic level (first part of album dynamic, then softer second part) as on the level Communication (very beautiful small pocket, always in the spirit, two clips very " duran duran").

After Astronaut , Andy Taylor leaves the group again, as it had already done in 1986.

In November 2007, they return while renovating their style: they work in particular with the producers Hip-Hop/R&B Timbaland and its assistant Danja like with Justin Timberlake.

Their large tubes

Among their greater successes, one can quote: " The Reflex" (n° 1 with the the United States, the Canada, the the United Kingdom and the Netherlands in 1984, and enormous a tube with the four corners of planet), " Rio" , " Save has prayer" , " With view to has kill" , " Girls one film" , " Planet Earth" , " Is there something I should know" , " All she wants is" , " Ordinary world" , " Notorious" (which appears in the film Donnie Darko ), " I don' T want your love" , " Like undone" , " Wild boys" , " Sunrise" . Let us note that the song " With view to has kill" , Co-written with John Barry, was the original soundtrack of the James Bond same name ( Dangereusement yours in French) left in 1985. The song itself was classified n° 1 in the United States in spring of this year and n°2 in the United Kingdom, and signal 10 in many countries. Also let us note that " C You Believe in Shame? " (of the album Big Thing ) figure in the film Tequila Sunrise and " Out Off My Mind" (of the album Medazzaland ) figure in the film Holy The .
