Duran Duran rules so hard I didn't know people don't like them

John Taylor is so underrated as a bassist. He was amazing in that band.

I didn't know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it's a pretty good song imo

People hate Duran Duran? My mum LOVES them. I like a few of their songs.

Hanging out, downtown by myself, and there's just too much Marcy, Playground in my head, and there it was

The other day I heard sex and candy for the first time in ages. I got immediate nostalgia. The song has a GREAT hook and I totally see why middle school me liked it. Sex. Candy. Cool vibe.

But hearing it now, i quickly realized the lyrics aren’t mysterious/poetic. They are meaningless and had nothing to say except repeating the chorus over and over and over because the words sound good together.

I tried because so many of my friends dig them. I just can't get past the songs that seem like they're written with a rhyming dictionary and they're full of teeny bopper cliches. I love the guitar tone and some of the riffs but I just can't get past those dumbass lyrics.

In 2022, they were my then-12-year-old child’s favorite band, so I took the kiddo to see the band in Milwaukee. Holy shit, they put on a FANTASTIC concert.

My wife discovered them about idk... 6 years ago? She was crazy about their music. She listened to it all the time, and put the music videos on our home theater. Then out of nowhere she suddenly decided that she hates them. She still hates them to this day. I think it might be because their music is so repetitive that it sounds catchy at first and then gets really annoying. Whatever the reason, they cultivated a super fan and then lost her all within a couple of months.

Unfortunately they became a bit annoying after a bit but looking back, they've put out some fantastic tracks that are hard not to groove to

Kinda like Nickelback. How can you not enjoy Rockstar

It's such a catchy feel good song

Shame on you

Slowdive is one of the greatest bands ever

My Highschool Girlfriend was a huge Matchbox 20 fan, so I took her to one of their concerts. I gotta say, I was impressed. They do a great show.

Nickelback is good, especially the early music. Imagine Dragons is similar in that they both are kinda hated because their music is really mainstream and accessible, which is in my opinion a pretty weird reason to hate the bands.

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

An avid Phisherman, you might say?

Phish is a weird one. When I listen to a whole record it kind of all sounds like one long song. An experimental variation on the theme. But live.... Holy s***. I'll go see him anytime they're close.

The Strokes in general are a fantastic band and there's been no album of theirs that I haven't enjoyed including Comedown Machine

It doesn’t help that Billy Corgan is a MAGA Republican.
