This is the first of a series of music videos upon which I was raised in my youth, in the early days of MTV.

This video takes me back to when there were so few videos that MTV was really forced to re...

Would they say it was simply a time and place thing, and it could never be repeated?I feel sad that I missed this, and will...

Burning the Ground reminds me of my older brother Rene. Every Friday he'd pick me up after school, we'd cash our paychecks and go vinyl shopping. Burning the Ground was one of his favorite records. We loved the Barbarella samples in the beginning of the song. This rare mega mix was released December 1989, the year I graduated from high school. Has it been that long?

...I mean seriously, Duran Duran teamed up with Grand Masters Flash and Melle Mel to do a cover version of the hip hop classic "White Lines" which I think was one ot the first 'just say nope' type rap tunes (and no, the VH-1 behind the musak irony isn't lost on me but you gotta give 'em an "A" for effort)...by 1995 a Duran Duran set of covers of the tunes that influenced them seemed to arrive a...

Duran Duran are back and their new video is fabulous! Totally hilarious - the band run a rehab for rich brats and the story starts out with a Britney Spears look-alike whining about how she's fine while her boyfriend calmly tries to get rid of her. One of his arguments is that she'll enjoy it because she's got girlfriends in there to hang out with! Hahha ha ha! The song is great too, a grea...

i was 14 years old in 1984. if you were a 14 year old girl in 1984 there was a fairly strong chance you were a durannie. i was a dedicated durannie. I looked through and bought armfuls of teen magazines like Bop, Star Hits, 16, etc. and covered my walls with posters and pictures of them. I watched MTV devotedly to see a duran duran video. I would call up my friends and we could chat away for...

Duran Duran made a solid comeback with the upcoming release of Red Carpet Massacre and the recent launch of its first video for the song "Falling Down." The video portrays the trend of models/starlets going to rehab for a week and then returning to a life of luxury. However, someone in the UK does not approve.
