RE: Duran Duran
yeah, I think that's them. the most prefabricated act since the monkeys and autograph.
I beg to differ. Those guys were amazing -- wrote their own stuff and are still together touring.

Agreed. Duran Duran take a lot of heat, but their stuff still holds up after 25 years -- some of it was qute edgy and experimental. Another great band of that ilk -- Spandau Ballet. The horn arrangements alone are awesome, a la Chant no. 1 is proof.
What do you think of their new stuff? What I've heard of Red Carpet Massacre is pretty good.

I remember meeting them when I worked at my college radio station in 1980. They took their music quite seriously. And though I never really followed them or their music, I believe that John Taylor is quite a good bass player. And the last time I checked, Terry Bozzio and Warren Cucurillo were playing with Duran Duran: You might be interested to know that they're both alumnus of Frank Zappa's bands.
