The Birmingham based New Romantics "who found the TV sound" thanks to their pioneering videos to become the biggest pop band in the world during the first half of the 1980s. Whom are still going today (in the studio recording a new album with Mark Ronson).

Some Other Key Songs (near impossible to just pick 4):

 

Hungry Like The Wolf (1982 UK#5 USA#3)

 

The Reflex (1984 UK#1 USA#1)

 

A View To A Kill (1985 UK#2 USA#1)

 

Ordinary World (1993 UK#6 USA#3)

 

Were any of you fans of Simon, Nick, John, Andy & Roger during the early 1980s and did you think they started to lose it once they started to lose Taylor's from the line up?

like most of their work, a good all round traditional british pop group.... though for me they never produced a 'classic'...

My favourite tracks of theirs;

 

Planet Earth

The Reflex

Ordinary World

Hungry Like The Wolf

Save A Prayer

Is There Something I Should Know

Wild Boys

A View To A Kill

Always liked them especially the early songs, too many favourites to list. They did lose their way a bit late 80's early 90's but then released "Ordinary World" , which was one of my favourite songs from the 90's.

My favourite Duran songs:

 

Careless Memories

My Own Way

New Moon On Monday

Skin Trade

 

All the early singles are pretty good, though I was never keen on "The Wild Boys" or "A View To A Kill".
