GTFOH with your underrated asses...This freaking song was HUGE in the US AND in the UK: # 14 UK Singles Chart , # 4 Billboard Hot 100, # 13 Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, # 1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play....And the Big Thing album was a worldwide smash hit as well. This video was all over MTV that fall & winter...And at Christmastime, they followed this one up with "All She Wants Is", another major hit on the pop, dance, AND modern rock charts. In fact, Big Thing was still riding those two tracks so strongly into the next year, that they were able to put out a third single (Do You Believe In Shame) the following spring. AND finally, A CD reissue of Big Thing (with one bonus track) was released in 1994, & THEN the album was reissued AGAIN in 2010 (over 20 years after its initial release) as a three-disc boxset-- That tells you everything you need to know about the album's full impact.

Funny story.. 19 year old daughter walks in room while I'm playing this, when it first shows John at "Hey" she says "hey damn..that's a good looking face!!" She asked was this Duran Duran and how she loves them. She proceeded to start naming off alot of Duran Duran songs. "Mom, everyone my age loves Duran Duran because they're great all around.." I was shocked . I knew she heard quite a bit from her dad and I growing up but had no clue how big a fan she and her friends have become. Sorry for the long story.. I was gobsmacked but also very proud of her for being a fan. My generation grew up with them on the screen/ radio so it is nice to see a generation who loves the music as well without seeing the iconic videos.. Sorry for the long story!!

@bbbccc9813 Жыл бұрын
Three of my favorite bands imho are INXS, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. Altho with me I put Duran at nr.1 because Its the band with the most songs I like from them and they pretty much started this craze for excentrical artists in my life. They were the first band I started to listen daily and follow "per say". Hungry like the wolf is still one of the earlier childhood jam memories followed closely by Personal Jesus and Everything Counts by Depeche Mode. As far as single artists go Michael Jackson was my favorite since my childhood and probably will always be my favorite. Bad is probably the most listened to song in my life and we also cant forget my child self copying his moves. First major music influence in my life was MJ hands down then later discovering bands it was DD. Through DD and that genre of music I pretty much discovered INXS and Depeche Mode later. Never stoped listening since!

The best of Duran Duran's "lost era" (at least in the USA). Between the failure that was "Notorious" and the slightly bewildering chart-topping success of "the wedding album" they had two rather good albums, but I'd call this song the best of them, even though I really like almost all of the "Liberty" album which came a couple of years later.
