One Last Breath: An Autopsy of Awful Albums

Thank you - Duran Duran


Listen Later

In todays episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be discussing the eighth studio album “Thank You” by new wave band Duran Duran. After early career success in early 80’s, Duran Duran experienced struggles with their identity and sound over the late 80s and early 90’s. Troubles navigating the changing musical landscape, as well as two founding members of the band leaving led to a few less than favorably received albums. Duran Duran made a comeback with a self titled effort in 1993, but then followed it up with by far their most poorly received work to date with Thank You. Thank You is a cover album that sees the band covering a wide variety of artists from Led Zeppelin to The Tempations to Public Enemy. Criticism was directed to the awkward reworkings of classic songs that critics said ranged from boring to downright offensive. Thank You was even declared the worst album of all time by Q magazine. Does Duran Duran actually butcher these classic tracks? Are there actually some interesting ideas and redeeming factors to be found? Tune in to this weeks episode to find out!
