>>74959287

>>74959242
John Taylor's bass playing is some good shit.

>>74959287
OP here I legit got cucked by the drummer from Japan, so now I can't even listen to them.

>>74959236
Everybody was jealous of them.

Every other band under the sun in the 80s saw them as competitors regardless of the genre, so they made sure to tarnish their name by calling them vapid/shallow/commercial/gay/uninspired etc... until it eventually ended up convincing the public that it was the case for decades to come.

>>74959236
SAVE IT TIL THE MORNING AFTER
>>74959242
this
New Religion best track btw

>>74959236
Probably has to do with them not being even remotely close to as good as Talking Heads.

>>74959287
the patrician man is a self-important faggot who can't handle fun

>>74959287
god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
his solo stuff and sylvian/fripp are fucking insane
too bad he prefers to jerk with some ambient nowadays
>>74959236
Planet Earth is one of top5 eighties songs for me

>>74959284
Its always been this stupid.

>>74959236
They should've won the Second Life mayor election.

>>74959348
>god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
half of the male-fronted synthpop bands of that era

>>74959236
grimes top right

Duran Duran are the greatest band of the 80s no doubt

>>74959242 is right, Rio is the best album of the past 50 years.

>tfw nobody on /aco/ is willing to draw porn of Rio

not fair

OUR DOIRECT CUMPETITORS ARE DURON DURON
*plays shitty bubblegum pop with static over it*

>>74959337
Simon Le Bon is equally as good a frontman as Byrne
John Taylor is a better bass player than Tina Weymouth
Jerry Harrison is a better guitarist than Andy Taylor

Jury is out as far as I'm concerned.

>>74959444
possibly, that would explain the sarcastic tone of some of the lyrics

but either way she's very hot and it's not fair

>>74959457
The jury is not out on you being objectively wrong.

>>74959236

I always thought they were Aussie.

>the more you know.

>>74959623
Now we're on the topic of Aussies, INXS are also severely underrated and deserve their due.

>>74959623
no they just got a fake brit accent

it's a staple of new wave

>>74959643
>fake brit accent
lol what

>>74959696

>>74959236
there were a decent 80s pop band but to say they did anything as interesting or innovating as Talking Heads is pretty goofy

>>74959348
>god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
the japanese bands that took influence from japan of course

No future, man

Except for the best band in the world

Duran Duran

>>74959868
I'd argue they had a similar effect on art school music in the UK though. Before them it was either grim dark post punk or Genesis wannabees.

They were the new Roxy Music at the very least.

>>74959919
not going to go into too much detail because I'm friends with the girl still and we were nothing resembling serious, but yeah, a girl I was seeing for a while starting emailing Steve Jansen because she was a superfan and now they're in a committed relationship
