[net.music] Duran Duran vs. Bay City Rollers

gds@mit-eddie.UUCP (Greg Skinner) (03/13/84)

Here's the comparison of the first few tunes of each I promised.  I'll
let you decide which of them are the more mature.  For my part, the
Duran Duran stuff is more mature, as the BCR stuff sounds too much like
the Shaun Cassidy/Andy Gibb type music that proliferated from '75-'79.

Duran Duran				BCR
----- -----				---
Hungry Like the Wolf			Saturday Night
Rio					I Only Want to Be With You
Is There Something I Should Know	Money Honey
Union of the Snake			You Made Me Believe in Magic
New Moon on Monday			The Way I Feel Tonight

oddly enough, BCR had the only #1 song (Saturday Night) but all of Duran
Duran's music reached the top 15.
