On this day, October 18, 1988, Duran Duran released their fifth studio album Big Thing. The album reached #24 on the Billboard charts, marking a shift in the band’s sound as they embraced more electronic elements and a dance-oriented style. Big Thing featured tracks like “I Don’t Want Your Love” and “All She Wants Is,” showing that Duran Duran was willing to evolve with the times while maintaining their signature appeal.

Do you think Big Thing represents a strong evolution for Duran Duran, or do you prefer their earlier hits from the ’80s?
