Duran Duran: Save A Prayer (1982) - Song Review

Official Score = 1 Devil

You know I have to say that Synth Pop has always been a sort of mixed bag... I mean there has been some great songs that have come out, such as some of Depeche Modes work... But the truth is, is that there has also been a lot of garbage as well...

The truth is, is there is a reason why I mention all of this, and that is, is there is a cheesy as hell synthpop song that Duran Duran did back in 1982, that I got stuck listening to a lot in the late 80s and early 90s, that seemed to be making waves for me through my social circles at the time... That song being Save A Prayer from their album, 'Rio'.

Duran Duran... A decent enough group.... But Save A Prayer... Certainly not!

Now this song is not something I would normally review on this site, but because of it's electronic beats, and tones I decided to do so, 'Unfortunately'...

The truth is, is I never understood why people like this song, It just was not fun, the dull beats, and the ridiculously melancholy nature of this song just wasn't for me!

Well ultimately in the end, I imagine if you were around during the time, that you might like to take a listen to this song as a blast from the past, but for me... This song was dull as hell, and I am telling you this, I wouldn't blame you if you felt the same way!
