On the 2nd February 40 years ago Planet Earth was released as the debut single from Duran Duran .
It was the first song to reference the New Romantic movement in its lyrics .
I must admit a bit like Roxy Music Virginia Plain did to my older brother , Planet Earth and Duran Duran had a profound impact on my life both musically and in the way I presented myself and dressed .
Not everyone is a fan I understand that but it’s hard to imagine any of the bands nowdays having such a profound impact with both the sound and image combined. In 1984 they were officially the biggest grossing band in the world having played arenas in their tour which had rarely been done previously.
Also great live band - yes they play all their own instruments.and write all their own songs .
Any secret fans on NSC ?
