The Chauffeur (384 pts)Album: Rio Released: November 1982 While never a single, this is a fan favorite & probably the band's most popular album track. And the boys thought enough of it to make TWO official videos. The origin of the song comes from a book of poetry written by Simon in 1978 before he joined the band. You'll also notice that the title of the song appears nowhere in the lyrics. There have been about 10 officially sanctioned covers of this song, but the most well known of these are by Deftones, Sneaker Pimps, Warpaint & Sleepthief. rainie : 1 peacebone : 1 Glove Slap : 3 Butterflies & Hurricanes : 6 Football : 14 @cagedjuggalo : 15 maine : 22 Doc Indie Party Rock : 24 π

The Deftones cover is phenomenal. Original is pretty good, too.

15. Electric Barbarella FUCK! This is such an amazing song. The whole title of the song plays on how they came about with their band name. This is my favorite Duran Duran song from the 90's. Oh yeah, and you might have guessed it? I LOVE!!!!!!! The Music Video.
14. Is There Something I Should Know? SHIT! two top 10 ,losses in a row. Not good news for me. I love this song. Simon sounds especially great in his vocals here.
13. Notorious More of 80's icons morphing into the pop sound of the late 80's. This one came out surprisingly good. I was never a big fan of the female backups. Simon didn't need that shit, but this was a good song overall
12. The Chauffeur Another great one. The Music Video is more dear to me than the song. Duran Duran was always erotic and exotic.

forgot to mention that Notorious had the 3rd highest standard deviation & Is There Something I Should Know?, the 5th highest
& for tonight's final reveal...while there are only 3 top tens lost, let's just say everybody ranked this in their top 25...everyone except one person who put it VERY low in his bottom five...there are only two people who haven't cleared their bottom tens yet, but since they both have multiple bottom tens left, they will both carry some into the actual top ten, but who will carry one fewer?

That's a really great looking top 10. Two of their better 90's songs made the cut. No predictions, but I want my songs to perform the best.

11. New Moon On Monday One slot less than where it peaked on the U.S. Pop charts. The Song had a great melody. I loved to sing along with Simon.

That's a...pretty standard Duran Duran top ten, actually.
10) Planet Earth (sorry, Tom, this top ten is stacked) 9) Union of the Snake 8) View to a Kill 7) Save a Prayer 6) The Reflex 5) Come Undone 4) Rio 3) Ordinary World 2) Girls on Film 1) Hungry Like the Wolf
I would be very surprised if anything other than "Wolf" is #1, even with the rest of the top ten being solid. But who knows? Maybe there's a surprise looming.

15. Electric Barbarella (27): Another one that fluctuated within 29-21... I sort of slightly under-ranked it 14. Is There Something I Should Know? (16): Just a classic! Fair ranking :) 13. Notorious (9): NO! NO! This is among their best and should've been a bit higher... 12. The Chauffeur (31): One of the most interesting discoveries to me in this RD. It kept creeping up in my ranking and at some point ended in my 20s... I can see liking this song more with more time 11. New Moon on Monday (23): another pretty good 80s tune... I just like other songs more Have left: 2-8 (#Justice4WildBoys), 10-11, 13. I can see my #2 leaving soon and Ordinary World or Save a Prayer being top contenders.

I already clued you in that it isn't
"0-99% accurate" I said
which doesn't really tell you much of anything OTHER than it's not the exact order

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like that as a Bond theme
Wonder if there could be interest in a Bond Theme Rankdown...

Well, this is a decent start.
Six of the remaining eight songs are in my top ten, and one of the two that isn't is my #12...and I'm fairly certain that my #22 isn't going to win this, so I'll be happy with whatever wins, it looks like.

I thought the Reflex would win! Does this mean there's a hungry wolf at the door?

10. The Reflex (5): :o Surprised at this leaving already. I remember not being a big fan of it back in 1984, especially because of the "Why-y-y-y" in the chorus, but I grew to like it more with time. Great 80s memories and quite a strong track. 9. A View To A Kill (2): That's what I was fearing my top 2 already gone :( I really like the epicness of the track in terms of production, structure, instrumentation and of course Simon's voice.

10. The Reflex Easily one of my Favorite Duran Duran songs, but I also feel it is slightly over rated.
9. A View To A Kill This might be my second top 5 I lose. I love everything about this song. This style became their trademark sound as the mid 80's kicked in. Not so much a New Wave or New Romantic synths, but a big Arena style sound with huge emphasis on the percussion and guitarworks. It never surprised me that their first live album was in fact entitled "Arena".
