Music, lyrics, and visuals are really speaking to me. Would not have said the same in 1982 when it was released.

41. Duran Duran had too many great videos to choose just one.

[emulatorloo]

43. That was so innovative when it came out! Thank you for posting

[Dave Starsky]

45. Not to mention that random arpeggiator on the Roland Jupiter 8.

I had never heard that before, and it was awesome. Duran Duran had a long streak of amazing songs and videos.

Those guys are still GREAT, from their last album in 2015
