Duran Duran, in my opinion, are still the best band EVER...though The Reflex is one of their worst. (sorry...but bad Duran is still better than most anything else!) I have to agree that VH1's choices were rather lacking. And since Video Killed the Radio Star was the 1st video every played on MTV, it should be listed pretty darn high (Duran's Planet Earth was the third video ever played...yeah, I know far too much 80s trivia)Kimbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087914736058120222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003026.post-1163014269012625632006-11-08T14:31:00.000-05:002006-11-08T14:31:00.000-05:00I love the 80's and I love your list!!!! yes, it's...I love the 80's and I love your list!!!! yes, it's too hard to narrow it to 10 songs!MaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627282961669893082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003026.post-1163013879362234382006-11-08T14:24:00.000-05:002006-11-08T14:24:00.000-05:00Oh, I just noticed: only 65 days until your Hawaii...Oh, I just noticed: only 65 days until your Hawaii trip!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>OMG!
