My fave DD song. Thinking about it the other day on whether it holds up, I wonder if the "on film" aspect makes it unrelatable to younger generations.Pretty sweet bass line in Rio. Funny thing about Duran Duran is critics were pretty dismissive of them in real time (as they are always of bands whose music is, gasp, fun), but their songs have aged well, and I hear them in a lot of places. Heck, I heard Girls on Film playing at the grocery store yesterday.

Duran Duran’s success was always attributed to their look, their style, their videos, even the album covers- few music critics at the time or later took them seriously as artists. And yet they were a talented band, with an excellent lead guitarist and rhythm section, both of which are on display here.

Saw them a few years ago at a music festival...they sounded great live.
Rio probably makes my top 10 Duran Duran.

Many people know that this song is actually a cover of “Pass The Kouchie” by The Mighty Diamonds, which was about cannibas. Musical Youth cleaned up the lyrics for American teen consumption, and their performance of the tune is far more polished than the raw original version. But in truth I very much like both versions.

Yeah, I think we've discussed this many a time on this board. Taylor is a beast on the bass - heavily influenced by Chic's Bernard Edwards - and I think this might be his best work.Exhibit A in my argument that John Taylor is one of the best bassists of his generation.60.

I place “Love My Way” in the second tier of songs from this band, along with “Heaven”- my first tier is composed of “Pretty In Pink” and “The Ghost In You”. But “Love My Way” is still good, still feels like a John Hughes teen romance movie.

Certain religious Christians, mostly located in the Deep South, believed that this song was about Satan worship. Their predictable reaction was to ban the record and then stage public burnings- no doubt Iron Maiden loved this response as it put them on the map.
As for the tune itself, once you get past the silly intro (reminds me of the Haunted Mansion) this is pretty excellent heavy metal. The singer, Bruce Dickinson, joined the band for this album and he is extremely talented. Not sure what they sounded like before but it doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that this guy’s arrival occurred at the same time with the band’s advance into metal superstardom.
My personal fave is President Gas, but Love My Way is about as commercial as they got.55. The Psychedelic Furs “Love My Way” (from Forever Now)

That video was played on the first day MTV aired (#35 overall). I also liked the first few albums with Paul Di’Anno - a more raw sound but some great hooks/riffs.https://youtu.be/io4ObwuO24w53. Iron Maiden “The Number Of The Beast” (from The Number Of The Beast)

i don’t recall any new wave-type radio in Chicago. It was basically rock/pop, AOR, and country. MTV was really a game changer for people who didn’t have access. I look at influential radio from that era like KROQ, and I would bet half of their year end countdown wasn’t played on Midwest radio In 82.

Dutchie was really pop (actually reggae pop) and I don’t think the video was all that big. I guess it depended on the radio station though. As mentioned upthread though, some ‘80s songs get played ad nauseum to this day, and this probably isn’t one of them (although Stranger Things, as mentioned above, gave it a recent boost).i don’t recall any new wave-type radio in Chicago.

It wasn’t new wave. It was kids singing reggae - and popish. It was a heavy rotation MTV video as well.

Maiden definitely upgraded the singer and drummer. Number of the Beast is such a good metal album. It still impresses me after all these years and it’s still played often , especially for work outs. I remember hearing it for the first time in 82 when an older cousin played it for me. A couple of years later I saw Maiden live for the first time and got to meet them. Hallowed be thy name and 22 are two other strong songs from the album. I’m impressed that Maiden made Tim’s list. Tim is full of surprises.Clive Burr - very good drummer indeed, but was fired in 1982 and replaced by one of the best rock names in history (and wholly relevant for their next album) in Nicko McBrain.Thanks.
