Duran Duran | Rio | 1982
Fine music here and great tunes, caught them live a few times with girl friends who were well into the band at the time. Happy daze.
I have come to the conclusion i either have odd tastes or an innate ability to kill a band’s career if i like them as they never seem to really break out into the mainstream.
Was enjoying a listen to A Letter From St. Paul just the other day
Eric Clapton - Nothing But The Blues.
