Duran Duran, the British rock band that helped ignite the New Romantic movement in the 1980s.

This track is irresistible for its post-disco groove driven by a funky bassline and tight drums.

Layered on top are razor-edged guitar riffs and shimmering synthesizer tones that feel oh-so-good.

Lyrically, the song shines with a sharp critical eye, exposing the exploitation and fabrication lurking behind the glamorous world of fashion models.

Released in July 1981 and included on the classic album “Duran Duran,” it became the band’s first UK Top 10 hit.

It was also used as the opening theme for the anime “Speed Grapher,” and its stylish, danceable sound is sure to lift your spirits!

Duran Duran is a rock band from the United Kingdom.

They helped establish the New Romantic genre and have created numerous classic songs.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Save A Prayer.

It’s a piece where you can fully savor their New Romantic style, with a soft, delicate mood throughout.

It evokes the feeling of late summer, so if you’re reluctant to say goodbye to the season, be sure to give it a listen.

Mirko Cro Cop, the legendary kickboxer famed for his world-class left high kick and lightning-fast footwork.

He was also one of the first kickboxers to adapt to mixed martial arts, and he excelled at a calculated, logical approach in the ring.

His entrance theme was “The Wild Boys.” Although he was known for a Terminator-like poker face during fights, his entrance song was surprisingly passionate.

It’s a new wave–driven track that sparked a huge boom in the 1980s and actually aligns with today’s trends in some ways.

Because of that, I think many younger listeners will like it too!

Included on the 1993 album “Duran Duran.” A four-piece rock band from Birmingham formed in 1978.

The moody, mid-tempo rhythm and the guitar’s intriguingly elusive tone are strikingly ear-catching.

Set against a sleek melody, Simon’s richly expressive vocals, together with the song’s title, convey a strong sense of alluring mystique.

Thank YouDuran Duran13rank/position

A track included on a 1995 cover album where each member of Duran Duran chose songs they love.

The original is by Led Zeppelin.

Although it has a laid-back, grounded rock sound, the rich, embracing vocals and spacious atmosphere make for an arrangement that puts you in a gentle, warm mood.

The song carries Robert Plant’s gratitude toward his wife—he wrote and composed it for Led Zeppelin—which gives it a positive message that’s truly uplifting.

If you have feelings you don’t usually express, it might be nice to send them along with this song as a gift.
