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."

Oh boy, a long time ago...
At least they weren't the next Bob Dylan. Kiss of death for many a singer/songwriter.
I was born in '64. I guess that makes me a Baby Boomer but, believe me, I identify much more with the generation that followed.
If you know all those, how could you forget Bill Bruford and Terry Bozzio?
Good one! Never was a soap fan...
I miss Rodney already. I hope God let him in up there and he's finally getting some respect.
i love that song!
Yeah, I liked Spandau Ballet, too.
Growing up in the Duran Duran hey day,I can tell you there was nothing quite like it. (Maybe New Kids on the Block in pure hysteria). At least Duran Duran was popular on college radio and got some regular radio air play before the teeny bopper crowd latched on to them. I was in middle school then and these girls would go insane over them quite literally our of their mind.
Video Killed the Radio Star!
I wish someone would come up with a compilation of the best MTV videos of the early 80s, instead of having to go through the internet - 1983 was a year that ROCKED. THE best music to come out of that era.
and The Fixx...and Adam Ant...and The Cars...
And then in the jazz world, there was Kirk Whalum...need I say more?
Like I said in an earlier post, I thought Parade was a great album. And I don't think Spandau Ballet got the credit they deserved for their music.
No, the "prickly fruit" you are thinking about is Durian. Stinks like rotten flesh when you open it up.
Duran Duran is awesome, not even in the same ball park. : )
Just shows your impeccable taste.
In the words of that other Duran, "No Mas."
The Taylors in Duran Duran are NOT related at all.
You sure of that??...I believe that two were brothers, and one was a cousin.
