My Own Way (272 pts)
Album: Rio Released: November 1981 #10 Australia #12 NZ #14 UK #14 Finland #20 Ireland This was the first single from Rio, coming out before the album release. You will notice that the single version is different than the version that ended up on the album. This sounds discofied to me, I don't dislike it but I much prefer the album version, maybe only because I'm used to listening to that version?Glove Slap : 5 Troy : 9 Doc Indie Party Rock : 13 Red : 19 mamooshka : 21 peacebone : 30 Disco🌶️📖 : 35 Pollen : 35 Juanca : 36 rainie : 43 @cagedjuggalo : 44 Mirago : 50 watchers: Billy Leo ✔ @humanshazam

Well, I can't say that I'm doing poorly with the way caged is performing. Yeesh. That's because my taste is extremely different from most....I just didn't realize I would do THIS bad

Wow My Own Way was the first single off Rio? I didn't even know that was even a single haha, it's been so forgotten in the scheme of DD's discrography.

35. Anyone Out There This one just missed my top 20. I love old skool Duran Duran the most. Those bass lines gave their early songs that perfect New Wave vibe. I think this is one of the lowest ranks I gave their older songs?
34. Skid Trade I just think that among this list, this song belongs exactly where I put it. The album "Notorious" featured a lot of horn sections. Not bad, but not really Duran Duran. I do love the title track tho.
33. None Of The Above I can't say I ever really cared for this song. Those percussion styles on the 90's were not exactly my type of tea.
32. All You Need Is Now A few songs on "All You Need Is Now" really did capture that 80s sound. This was not one of them, but I was super excited that they released new material and yes, I took this song top 10 on my personal charts. Another P-P-P-P- PERFECT Ranking!
31. My Own Way This would be one of the first songs here that I consider a hard loss for my list. This one just misses my top 10. They sounded a lot like early Spandau Ballet on this track. Or vice a versa. The point is, that song is a classic to me.

EXTRA John Taylor - I Do What I Do...
Album: 9 1/2 Weeks Soundtrack Released: 1985
This song peaked at #23 on the US Pop charts & #42 in the UK. It would take another 12 years before he would put out his first solo album.

congrats to Red for clearing his bottom 10 (even though he probably isn't happy about his 50 being the highest of his bottom tens): All She Wants Is (297 pts)Album: Big Thing Released: December 1988 #22 US Pop #24 US Alt #1 US Dance #4 Italy #9 UK #10 Ireland #17 Finland #28 Germany #44 Netherlands #47 NZ #74 Australia rainie : 11 mamooshka : 11 Glove Slap : 16 peacebone : 14 @cagedjuggalo : 21 Troy : 23 Juanca : 25 Mirago : 25 Doc Indie Party Rock : 35 Disco🌶️📖 : 36 Pollen : 48 Red : 50 watchers: Billy Leo ✔ @humanshazam

I've benn following this rankdown, and I'm not surprised to see their song with Kiesza is already out. I still rooting for Pressure Off to be in top 20 at best.

Freaking finally! This was the only song that I did not like at all. I mean, I can understand why someone would like this, but everything about the song felt wrong to me.

I figured you either ranked this or my #7 low. I would not have been happy about either, but I understand this one, at least.

I surprisingly loved this one. Their new music doesn't touch their very early music, but this was killer.

Oh alright I'm fine with this one getting out. AYNIN is a good album, but the singles were two of the worst tracks imo.

that's a wrap for tonight..."what happens tomorrow" you might ask? (a bit of Red 's humor there)...well: - we've got two more P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKINGs
- a #2 goes down
- we close out two albums with their final/highest ranking song...and
- we venture into one of the remaining two albums that we haven't explored yet in this rankdown
notice that the word "two" was used in each of these highlights...quite appropriate as our #22 song (among others) will be revealed in the next set

30. Friends Of Mine Is another of the first Duran Duran songs I ever heard. No way I was going to put it lower than #15. This slot actually sucks for this great song.
EXTRA John Taylor - I Do What I Do... Graet song. I remember that movie well.
29. What Happens Tomorrow I rally loved this one, but there is just so much competition here. The whole Astronaut album was great IMOP.
28. All She Wants Is The chorus to this left a lot to desire, and this felt odd for Duran Duran, but its still a decent song.
27. Sound Of Thunder listening to this, you think your about to listen to "Careless Memories". Almost identical intros. Anyway I downgraded this one a bit to give higher slots to some of the other classics. Good song tho.
26. Girl Panic! This was one of my favorite songs of that year. Only the Cars "Blue Tip" and "Sad Song" beat it. Oh yeah; I was having an 80's orgasm that year. What killed me ,is that this was perfect, 80's ,Duran Duran. The music video seems to be giving the Band mad promotion action, Too bad they didn't give the actual song the same kind of radio promotion. This had comeback hit written all over it.
