Duran Duran:
Duran Duran - The Wedding Album
(1993)

I'm a Duran Duran fan - or whatever you call it - and have been since 1983-84 when the band really hit it big. Since then I have followed the ups and downs of the band closely and I obviously have all the albums. The first five Duran albums are considered to be the classic ones, but even so I think that "The Wedding Album" represents the band at its very best. And I still remember one fine spring day in Marseilles, France, in 1993 when I heard "Ordinary World" for the first time. It just blew me away and I still think today that it's the best song the band has ever recorded. And the song is joined by many others like it on what is considered to be Duran Duran's big comeback in 1993. And in many ways also the album that finally earned the band some recognition in the music business. "The Wedding Album" was the album that made it legal to actually like Duran again and considering the image of the band during the eighties, this was quite an achievement in itself. Of course, some of us have known all along that the initials D.D. equal great music for any moment...

Overall rating (on a scale from 1 to 10): 8
