Duran Duran: Careless Memories (TOTP)

[@redsky106]

The song that started my New Romantic journey,,,,aged 16 ,,,,what a journey 80s was

[@andyr226]

John Taylor. A massively underrated bass player. He can groove.

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

Yes I can!

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

And hot!

[@MrDrum1969]

Duran Duran had talent from the very beginning ❤

[@adamhepburn9701]

Another magnificent performance from Duran Duran on "Top Of The Pops" and what a great song "Careless Memories" is. WHY OH WHY this song stumbled at #37 on the UK pop charts, I just don't understand. However their next single "Girls On Film" peaked at #5 on the UK pop charts, and we all know what happened after that!! Yes indeed, Duran Duran became one of the greatest pop groups of the '80s.

[@alanpercival6428]

Adam Hepburn "careless memories" was not the choice second single of the band ..friends of mine was there choice ...although " running blind" track never came to fluishion.

[@tonynesbit9673]

It's their best song.

[@redsky106]

Yeah I’m back to aged 17 @again ,,,,,thank you

[@mickey1271]

I used to be obsessed with DD, my fave was always Roger.

[@brianjezuit4085]

Finally... someone else actually mentioned Roger Taylor!!! He iZ one of the worldZ great drummers 😆☕🥁🥁🥁🌃

[@Toast0808]

Roger was my favorite too. Simon was second.

[@daviedlebonnie7721]

I'm here in 2018 listening to a future sounding song ....so advanced for its time 1981.

[@Juki.227]

[@TheLogic1010]

After watching TOTP I bought the album and saw Duran Duran in July and December of 81. TalkTalk were on as support.

[@Blondie101010100]

This is such an underrated song. I loved it from the start. I remember getting the LP at Xmas 1981. John Taylor was a dreamboat 😍 and a brilliant bassist!

[@stefaniacampus3569]

John era bellissimo

[@adalbertojosebrasaca9697]

[@azzp8527]

Fantastic the way Jt performing all the songs especially in the first 3 Lp. Thk John for having thought so much to me as bass player. Thk you all guys to music you gave us.

[@maryb.hopkins8418]

OMDG! They are amazing & they are looking so young here & it's the original line up to boot!

[@nobhill1991]

Hell Yeah!!! My Favorite!!! Seriously Love Love Love this song!!!!

[@rifk1741]

yes "Timeless Simone moved" but also remember those early JT stumbling like bambi and slpaping the bass moves?

[@timwingham8952]

One hell of a bassline.

[@crazymoose9875]

The guitar player Is Also outstanding....!!!!

[@bune.trails6448]

Excellent!!!...no doubt the least dorky version. 👀🤣😊

[@daviedlebonnie7721]

Totps had to be mimed, it was a weekly show so many acts , it had to be that way , one act on one act off ,no time for sound checks and changing instruments .as long as you see your fave band on the show and they get there song across to tv ordiance! Everyone was happy

[@suzannep8371]

One of their best songs if not the best DD song ever made. They could have capitalised in this and become massive in this genre but instead they gave way to being part of the commercialised machine.

[@tsmith7146]

My favourite Duran song too (with Planet Earth a close second) - absolutely loved it when it came out and always preferred (and still prefer) it to Girls On Film. Because it was EMI's choice (not the band's) for 2nd single and it peaked at only number 37 in the UK charts, whereas Girls On Film peaked at number 5, i guess the band felt vindicated in their single choices, but i think EMI were right with this as it is the better song, although obviously it was a flop commercially for some reason. Also, I think the lyrics are SLB's best, along with Ordinary World. The band play it so often live though and they know it is a fan favourite, so thats good.

[@KhanadaRhodes]

@1087shotwell almost all totp performances were mimed, of course the music isn't live. though if you're implying i took the studio cut and spliced it on top to improve sound quality - while i appreciate the compliment that the audio is good, i'm not that talented/can't be bothered trying to sync that all up. this is just taken from a dvd. :)

[@MrPt7]

Bloody awesome!

[@mrsjtay1975]

aww! y John que se ve tan Baby!

[@cybertaiga9534]

I get this impression that Simon Lebon used to imitate Siouxsie Sioux's dance routines on stage.

[@lauriebober5542]

I like 👍 this song 🎶 a lot

[@chrisr5499]

Love Andy Taylor performence still think he is in a Punk band and reminded me of Adam Calyton with U2 second Performence on Top of the Pops 2 years later with New Years Day....Punks Not Dead :)

[@blarghblargh]

I know they're actually performing, but the audio is just from the album. weird, cause I'm certain they would have nailed it live.

[@sabineweidemann7709]

john

[@raythenation]

i was too young to understand it . 11 or 12 i guess

[@thomasbridges6177]

Where is Andy?

[@ladycatsinger]

Andy is there, he just has short blond hair, just like Nick had dark hair instead of the bleached look of classic Duran. Their look was still evolving at that time.

[@simonroberts5882]

I’m not gay,but dare I say it these are not bad I suppose!👍
