You can’t not like Duran Duran if you’re an 80s music fan. They were the 80s. I love them till this day!!
 
I always liked Duran Duran and this album had some decent songs. My favorite song is Girls on Film.
 
Did you know Duran Duran had three singers in their early days? They began with Stephen Duffy, then Andy Wickett, before Simon Le Bon joined and propelled the band to fame. I had to let that out lol.

I knew that the band had a few singers but no idea how many. Three isn’t bad and thank you for sharing that info.
