Duran Duran: My Memories Of A Band

I would like to take this opportunity to write about a band whose memories still linger in my mind.

Watching the music videos of Duran Duran at YouTube.com makes me recall those times where I used to be their number one fan. That was in the 80s. Their songs used to be heard on my radio everyday.

They are among the best and most successful bands in the 80s alongside Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears and Wham (who were also my favorites then); but among the things that make them standout from their rivals are their music videos. They are tagged as the MTV Group during those times because their music videos are well done, stylish, classy and they tell stories as well.

If you will ask me what I liked about this band, what I can say is that they are unique in every way. I love the sexy sound of their music and their exciting music videos. Who wouldn't dance then to their tune? Who wouldn't want to watch them live? Their concerts are very dynamic and you can always see the crowd going wild whenever they perform. In addition to this, the guys who make up the band are not only talented --- they are also good-looking.

I used to collect pictures of them in a wooden box. I cut some from magazines and bought some from gift shops. I also included some of their albums in my collections. These items were my treasure during my teenage years.

During those times, I would always have to wait for the MTV shows which I follow just to get the chance of watching their awesome MTVs. It's because when we say MTV shows then, for sure they will feature Duran Duran.

Thanks to modern technology. Through the internet, finding Duran Duran stuffs are no longer that hard for me. Thanks too to those people who uploaded their music videos on YouTube. Now, I can watch them whenever I want to --- without having to cry over an MTV show that I had missed (LOL those were my crazy days).

If you have any interest to view these videos with me, simply log on to YouTube.com and search for Duran Duran. Those videos will explain to you why I became a Duranie during my teenage years.

Never in my whole life have I ever been ashamed to tell everyone that I am once a Duranie and I will always be.
