Didn't they release a covers album about 10 years ago? Wasn't it voted one of the worst albums ever made? I remember seeing them live on the Wedding album tour; they did a cover of 'White Lines' with Grandmaster Flash.
Words cannot describe how bad it was. When they did a cover of the mighty Public Enemy's '911 Is A Joke' I think I pretty much disavowed any love I had for Duran there and then.
How can you release a brilliant album such as the Wedding album (which at the time, was easily their best album to date) and then follow it up with such god-awful cover versions?
I've not heard 'Warm Leatherette/Showroom Dummies' and based on past experience, I don't want to either!
And why's this topic in the Ultravox section?...
...oh god...Duran haven't covered 'Vienna' have they?
...
...I feel sick at the thought of that!
EVERYBODY! RUN! TAKE COVER! FILL YOUR EARS WITH CONCRETE! LE BON'S ABOUT TO GO FOR THE BIG ONE!
