What can we expect from Duran in the 90's?... "You can certainly expect us to be around a while, some more music from us"... fast forward to 2024... many more BRILLIANT albums and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! NOT bad for a supposedly "boy band" that most of us knew had MUCH MORE talent than the disposable critics would admit.
