[Grandma Death]

Duran Duran's cover: crap/not crap?

Mmmm....didnt even know they had covered it. Just watched that....surprisingly it started out well-then bombed soon as Le Fucking BonBon opened his mouth. I hate his voice

 

[Dillinger4]

100%

 

[Madusa]

Definately not crap. A better question would be is it better than "The Message"

HELL NO!!

 

[CRI]

Just had to break from the herd. Painful memories of small children badly breakdancing to the tune over, and over, and over, and over again on a summer project where I volunteered. In that context, it was like water torture. One day, I may recover.

Are you a regular and have just registered a new user name to hide the embarrassment of this heinous act?

 

[Silva]

Either way,

Given my extreme dislike to post-80's rap and hip-hop, a lot of people look at me in a funny way when I tell them this and The Message are two of my top tracks from the early 80s.

Ha ha, nope, genuinely new, genuinely suffering post traumatic stress from that experience. I blame the kids!

...this possibly could be a one sided poll I feel.

I d/l this off soulseek for my 80s play list on the IPod......been caning it rather a lot. Forgot just how good this tune is!

What is the point of these stupid polls where you know beforehand how everyone is going to vote?

 

[The Groke]

I voted crap for sake of balance...

I wouldn't say it was crap, but I wouldn't say it is great either. Does nothing for me really.

meh.

Hush Johnny-back in ya box fool.

Liquid Liquid never really got the recognition they deserved.

yes, i was gonna say that.

also of note that the musicians who re-recorded the backing track for white lines went on to be tackhead and mark stewart's mafia.

white lines IS a brilliant song tho'. utter classic.
