Were you surprised by any on our lists? Did we match more than you thought we would? Did we not match more than you thought? Now, that we have shared our lists, we welcome each of you to participate! If you would like to share yours on a blog, please send (or resend) your list. It would be cool if you wanted to explain any/all of your choices as this would be a means of getting to know you, your tastes and your Duranie experiences. As always, we ask you to follow our guest blog requirements, they are described here.
Next week will be the final post on the Top 25 Duran Duran songs as I take time to analyze the results.

Well, after the first reading, Red Carpet Massacre is mentioned only once and no song from Pop Trash appears in the lists.
Medazzaland reads another underrated album.
Wow!
You are right. Neither one of us were big fans of those albums. -A
It’s important to remember that these were just OUR favorites. We’re not saying everyone else should agree, and I don’t think that you can necessarily say from our choices that any album is overrated, underrated or otherwise… that said, I think the entire top 25 list voted on by the community participants is very telling. -R
I am soooo interested to see the collective top 25 in a year’s time when we’ve all got over the trauma of voting, plus we’ll have a new album in the mix too 😀 Surprised by Finest Moment on both your lists. My tastes chime more with Amanda’s list than Rhonda’s, no surprises there though! 😀
I did a lot of comparing as the lists came in. I, too, look forward to what the collective list is in a year. :). -A
