◇ image via WikipediaDuran Duran
Duran Duran is a Alternative rock and Electropop act. Their catalogue also touches Heavy metal, Progressive rock and Rap. Their sound grew out of Ultra Naté, Signing Off, Paul Oakenfold, Warm Leatherette and Splinter. Those roots explain a lot about how Duran Duran arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Tears for Fears, Spandau Ballet, Thompson Twins, a-ha and Naked Eyes, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Taproot, The The, Allison Iraheta, I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor and Melle Mel, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 108 connections around Duran Duran, reaching back through Ultra Naté and forward to Taproot.
