NEW YORK - They played the obligatory classics: "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Girls on Film." But when Simon Le Bon ripped into the chorus of the new single "(Reach Up for the) Sunrise," the sun suddenly illuminated Times Square as if to officially mark a new day for Duran Duran.
As the original five members performed for "Good Morning America" last week, it seemed the planets had finally aligned for a band that had been ignored through its ever-changing lineup and lackluster albums of the past ten years.
The British quintet once created a fan hysteria that was compared to the Beatles', and they are largely credited for ushering in the music video age with their innovative and exotic clips. Still, until recently, they couldn't buy the sort of publicity they're now enjoying.
"We are really pleased to be back in the history books where for a while it looked as though we were being written out of them," Le Bon told The Associated Press, commenting on the Lifetime Achievement award MTV finally bestowed upon the video pioneers last year and the sudden excitement over Duran Duran's 12th album, "Astronaut."

OMG! You're a Duran Duran fan!
*LOL*
Want me to give you a treat?
AAH! Stupid early-middle aged brains...
Well now, I certainly can't turn THAT down! :)
Durans just played on Leno.

Boy, the memories....Huey Lewis & The News, Men At Work, Michael Jackson (back when he was human), Frankie Goes To Hollywood (Relax!), Hall & Oates, WHAM! (yes, I liked 'em), Laura Branigan (RIP), soooo many others.
I saw Debbie Gibson in concert. Yes, I said it. It's true. :)
She strongly resembles a little red X in a box. :)P
That's what you get for being a bold boy! *LOL* Bet you get coal in your stockings at Christmas too! *L*
The tunes from 79-83 (maybe 84) are, in my incredibly biased opinion, the greatest era in radio. Fun, revolutionary, well-written. Varied. The list keeps going. Mid to late 60s is the only thing I'm familiar with that might rival that time frame for the volume of enjoyable music that was available on the radio.
GoGos, Gary Newman, Modern English, English Beat, Crowded House, Split Enz...
"Cars" by Gary Numan was a great song. He became HEAVILY involved in right-wing politics afterwards.
The three deceased drummers who played with Roibert Plant are: John Bonham, Tony Thompson and Cozy Powell.
Joke..remember how all the Spinal Tap drummers kept dying mysteriously...one self immolated on stage.
Ya got me...didnt follow drummers much.
Except....Tony Williams...Ginger Baker...John Hiseman...Buddy Rich...Elvin Jones...Carl Palmer...Neal Pert....hmmm..who else
Now its Dave Weckl...Dennis Chambers...
Youre good dude...
hmm. didn't know Tony Thompson was dead. And I didn't know Cozy Powell and Plant played together. No soup for me!
Okay...got one for you.
What is the connection between the late British folk rock group Renaissance and pop singer Rod Stewart?
Clem Burke from Blondie is the reason I'm a drummer, lo these 25 years later. Guy was amazing. Got a chance to tell him in person about ten years ago. One of those "I can now die happy" moments.
Peart is super. Incredible tragedies followed him recently. Yeah, I got the Spinal Tap joke, LOL.
