But as usual, they’ll probably butt in at the front of the line, while Scorpions are left out. I’m thinking about it partly because they were just nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and feel that they can probably wait another ten years for their turn before more deserving artists get inducted.
It was hard to admit when something I spent my very limited money on was a dud, but when “Hungry Like the Wolf” was the only song I really loved, that’s what Rio was for me. By the next year, Duran Duran’s videos were inescapable, and Rio was one of my MTV related purchases. I didn’t have cable TV at home, but amazingly our 7th grade home room teacher put MTV on at a low volume during the seventh period study hour shortly after it started airing on August 1, 1981. The latter is one of the albums I had since it first came out, and one that always left me unsatisfied, thinking, “is this the best they got?” They meaning the pop gods who reside in mythical lands like Birmingham. A fair amount of changes have been made just with these first five entries, giving some popular albums by Prince, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, Madness, Simple Minds and Duran Duran a fresh listen. I’ve been listening and thinking, re-listening and shuffling. This isn’t just a rollout of albums I’ve had listed for years.
Van Dorston Scorpions’ eighth album is arguably the band’s most consistently catchy and fun collection of hard rockers, and helped kick off the explosion of heavy metal and pop metal’s popularity along with Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot and Mötley Crüe.
