Duran Duran on Austin City Limits "Save a Prayer"

[@timmbos]

Makes me want to cry thinking how fantastic times were back then. It's hell on earth right now today and it sucks.

[@annmarieslavick356]

They are talented, not just a flash from the 80's.

[@therealdoug1000]

I'm not sure we totally understood just how talented these guys were at the time.

[@dspencer1201]

So true. And Tears for Fears.

[@MrJonube]

Spot on! I think the MTV videos caused that with all the silliness. It made us look at them, and other talented performers, as less than serious. But as in all...time reveals the truth.

[@RuthJohnstonaworldofgoods]

Speak for yourself. Lol. I knew they were rock Gods!

[@mariag5988]

I know that I sure did! Love, A Lifelong Duranie

[@tcmusic6429]

You act like 80’s teens are the only ones who are Duran fans. Lol

[@jasonharrington2106]

still a fricken amazing voice after all these years

[@anabelasalvaterra1774]

True ❤

[@youngbrutus7426]

I hear this song and trans ported to 1984. In a small middle class family from east Tennessee We didn’t have MTV at my house. Laying in my bedroom listening to the cassette player of Duran Duran. I would love to talk to my self at ten years old explain how important music is. I miss when music was good. I miss the 80’s

[@glennsmiley7704]

From a 54 year old metal head, I have but one word.....RESPECT!!!

[@katemarr1984]

People like to put labels on genres on taste and judge what speaks to you- cool, do what you need to do - they're missing the point - if you like it and it makes you feel good that's what matters. Own being a metal head that likes what you like. 😊

[@allancheli]

Compared to today’s lame poser rock bands, Duran Duran sounds like a highly skilled legit rock band nowadays, despite being a pop band back in the 80s. None of todays music rock anymore..its all lame instagram versions of the real thing. I’m also an old metalhead… megadeth, pantera, black sabbath, dio, old queensryche, even type o negative, daylight dies (the metal band, not the pop band), nordic gloom metal like katatonia etc.. you name it. Rock on!

[@سيديمحمدالمغربي]

[@benringenberg2394]

I didn't think a metal head would get duran duran, one word from me to you....respect! peace.

So you ain't a metal head your a music lover I av been a punk hip hop soul reggae 70s to nowadays I couldn't class myself and I love it that way I can enjoy every music that is in the moment and this is classic 🤟🎶❤

[@cw9817]

For those of us who are Gen X, the music of the '80s is such a large part of our shared language. "Save a Prayer" still has some of Le Bon's best poetry.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

By far the best decade of music.
