LOL hair metal.  Kill the poser!
I know, right? I should feel embarrassed, but if it makes it any better, I prefer the early 80s stuff to the crap that came out at the end (excepting Guns N Roses). Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Van Halen, stuff that also gets closer to heavy metal, like Dio.

Jazz is cool, too.

Dio was amazing! R.I.P.

It's alright.  I used to listen to Winger.  I still like them.  Even White Lion was pretty decent.  Dokken was O.K. as well.  That was really it for me.  I also am a die hard David Lee Roth (solo career) fan.  I listen  to so much variety.  Old school punk and hardcore, classical, thrash, jazz fusion, Zappa, game music, it's all good to me.  I just couldn't stand most of that poser stuff like Poison, Britney Fox, Enuff Z Nuff, Cinderalla, LOL Stryper

Josh, Ope, if you like Liquid Tension Experiment check out Allan Holdsworth's Heavy Machinery.  BTW they also used an Atari ST for some of this recording.

I love Dio. I had an awesome black velvet poster black light poster I put in a really gaudy gold plaster frame when I was a kid. I'd kill to have that now.

Anyway, since we are confessing our sins: I love Duran Duran.

Heh-heh, me too... You know, I watched "Hanoi" Jane Fonda recently in Barbarella and when I heard the name of the scientist/villain, Dr. Durand Durand, I was like WTF?? This is how they got their band's name, from a cliched villain in a weird 60's SciFi movie ? Indeed, when they got started, they used to play near a famous club called "Barbarellas" and later took the name of the movie's villain as their own reflection as fans.

Yes! When I watched Barbarella I wondered the same thing! The movie has a goofier pronunciation so I wasn't sure until I consulted a FAQ—holy cannoli, I didn't know 99% of the stuff in the FAQ.

Why am I suddenly in the mood to watch Barbarella and Flash Gordon (1980's) again?

Yeah, there's a huge divide between the early stuff and the ones who did it to get famous.

And Duran Duran? Ugh, do I really have to admit publicly to liking them? :(

One of my favorite albums by Edge of Sanity.  Haha and it's an EP.  9 minutes in they do cover of Invisible Sun by The Police.  Great stuff.

How could I have forgotten their other nod to the movie, "Electric Barbarella," a fun, whacky pop song. I'm sure you know it, but I got to first hear it when a sibling bought a Greatest Hits collection of Duran Duran like 6 years ago or something.

I watched it with Zardoz not that far apart if that counts. ;)

When Blondie was touring for The Hunter, Duran Duran was the opening band and were awesome. This was right around the time Rio was released but before everyone knew who they were really.
