The Best Duran Duran Songs: Is [Title] Their Perfect Composition?

Funnily enough, just been watching Rick Beato who, as a multi-instrumentalist music producer and educator, dissects the song and concludes it as a lsquo;perfectly written songrsquo;. The notes, vocal arrangement, and how stand-out it is from their other hits make it easy to see how this question can arise.

When it comes to declaring the best song by any group, it's often like comparing apples and oranges. However, many would argue that [Title] is Duran Duran's absolute best ballad. The lyrics resonate with all adults, eliciting goosebumps just by thinking about it. Warren Cuccarillo's guitar riffs and solo were exceptional, and Simon's voice has never sounded better on this track. This song, along with 'Is There Something I Should Know', are two of my absolute favorites.

Is [Title] the Best Duran Duran Song?

Technically, [Title] is not the best Duran Duran song, but it may stand as their best from the 1985-1990 era. Other tracks from the underrated album 'All You Need Is Now' provide strong competition. Despite this, the song is widely celebrated and remains one of the standout tracks of its era.

One could also argue that [Title] is one of the best. It's important to remember that over the years, countless great pop songs have been written, and labeling just one as the best would be discrediting.

But, for some, [Title] is a perfect storm of musical elements that align beautifully, making it hard not to put it on their list of top Duran Duran songs. Even if you don't recognize it as Duran Duran on the first listen, the vocalist's quality and the overall composition remind one of a perfect alignment of planets.

My Personal Favourite

I find myself singing [Title] quite often. It's one of their later songs but still holds a special place in my heart. In the debate about which is the best, others may argue for 'Ordinary World'. However, many people would also vote for songs such as 'Hungry Like the Wolf', 'Rio', and 'The Reflex' from the 80s, which they feel are Duran Duran's best.

Ultimately, this is a matter of personal preference. As a die-hard fan of Duran Duran, my personal favorite is 'New Moon on Monday.' 'Ordinary World' is a great song but holds a different place in its own right in the 90s. We're talking about different decades here, with 'Ordinary World' released in 1993, possible contenders in the 80s include 'The Reflex', 'Rio', 'Hungry Like the Wolf', and 'Wild Boys.'

So, while no single answer can definitively say which is the best, it's clear that [Title] is one of the standout tracks in Duran Duran's extensive music catalog. The debate continues, and so does the enjoyment of their timeless music.
