Back in the day, the US music scene was divided. You had rockers, punks, new wavers… then came the pop explosion with Madonna and Wham. It was all about the vibe. A little bit of everything, really.

Growing up in Sweden in the '80s, it was metal or synth. Bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest dominated my playlist. Duran Duran? Not so much...until "Wild Boys" came along. A little heavier, a little bombastic – I could get into that. They're playing in California and Vegas. Maybe we should go!

Growing up in Sweden in the 80s, music defined who you were: metalhead or synth enthusiast? Listening to Duran Duran put you firmly in the synth camp. Times have changed...

Reacting to Duran Duran's live performance of 'Wild Boys' from BBC Music Day at The Eden Project in 2016. We recently reviewed Tommy Johansson's cover of 'Ordinary World,' which made us think of Duran Duran's hit!
