At Sunday night’s American Music Awards, Duran Duran played their new single "Falling Down," followed by a song selected by fans. Apparently, the three tracks we had to choose from were "Notorious," "(Reach up for the) Sunrise," and "Hungry Like the Wolf" (which won). We know Tony Hawk, who introduced the band, wanted them to play "A View to a Kill" and clearly never visited mycokerewards.com to vote either. What were you hoping to hear? I was wishing for "I Don’t Want Your Love." I’ve watched the video below—of the band performing it earlier this month during their Broadway run—at least 25 times. Partly because I love seeing Nick Rhodes smile, partly because that electro set was hot.
I also would have accepted "All She Wants Is." Or, any song that allows Simon Le Bon and John Taylor to share the same microphone. Again, hot.

“A View To A Kill.”
BEST.BOND.THEME.EVER
I did not watch the show, but I have “Notorious” on heavy rotation on the Ipod.
Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)…..sigh
Girls On Film or Save a Prayer
Planet Earth!
I like “Rio”, but then I enjoy singing it like Santa and Jesus do it on South Park…
Simon and John – sigh…
As a Duran fan of 25 years or so, there are about 100 songs I’d have like to have heard other than these three. However, from this list I’da picked Notorious. Electro set rules!
Girls on Film
If I could pick from any of their songs I would have to go with either Careless Memories of The Chauffer. I also really wish they wouldn’t of Timberlaked their music, I liked it just the way it was.
From the list? Notorious
love duran duran…but after seeing this and watching last night they seem old, bored, and just going through the motions…ugh
Anything from the electroset would have made me happier than Nick Rhodes at the Clinique counter – although I’m also partial to “I Don’t Want Your Love” (because there was no way they would have played “Last Chance on the Stairway”)
It would have been awesome if DD played Reflex. Bonus: if a waterfall cascaded over the audience a la the video.
From the List: Notorious
Not from the list: New Moon on Monday
Save a prayer! Duh.
