What is the best song on "Rio"?

The Chauffer hands down

er The Chauffeur

I voted "The Chauffeur" too, and I am not very surprised if it ends up beating all of the singles to win this poll.

I voted against "The Chauffeur" because "Hungry Like the Wolf" is more fun and because a douchebag in high school who could play "Chauffeur" on guitar ended up going out with my ex-girlfriend, I still think those two things are related somehow

"Chauffeur" vs. "Lonely" is doing my head in

Title track for me.

There are some real stinkers on this record, should've been an EP.

I voted "The Chauffeur" too.

ts: best song VS best video

the guitar tone on "HLtW" = the decider for me

I think maybe "Save a Prayer" for me. Or "Nightmare", or "Stairway" aargh hmm need to think on this.

The Chauffeur ROFL

Y'all are voting for the Chauffeur cos OMG BOOBIES, rite?

I don't hear any boobies on "The Chauffeur". :)

we are ILMing Geir!

Where's the "delete Duran Duran" option?

You guys are cracked. It's either "Hold Back the Rain" or "My Own Way."

I like the original single version of "My Own Way" from 1981 a lot better than the one that ended up on "Rio".

Haha, now this is something I DO have an opinion on. The answer, and 4 minutes of pure pop perfection:

Last Chance On The Stairway.

The "I don't even know what you're drinking but it keeps this heaven alive" bit is actually one of the grebtest moments in 80's music.

Ranked:

Last Chance On The Stairway
New Religion
Hold Back The Rain
The Chauffeur
Rio
Lonely In Your Nightmare
Save A Prayer
My Own Way
Hungry Like The Wolf (still amazing)

incredible album

Th Chauf

I voted for "Lonely In Your Nightmare."

Let us praise (or not, if you're mean) Duran Duran's Hold Back the Rain

I'm will with no problem praise every track off that album. But "The Chauffeur" is still that slight fingertip above the rest.

"Save a Prayer" for me. I think I'll buy a copy of this album on the way home tomorrow.

So "The Chauffeur" won. But as usual, the people voting for the hit singles don't always participate in the underneath threads ;)

Can't believe Last Chance On The Stairway only had 1 vote. It would have gotten mine had I not been on hiatus. Currently one of my top 10 jump around like a damn idiot songs.

^^^this dude also voted Spirit Of Eden as his number 1 and likes The Fall, he is my music-fan of the week if that makes any sense

(that one vote was mine)

^^^^ this. Also: wtf were you guys on -- not ONE vote for "My Own Way"?

(I include myself)

haha soto we've agreed about LCOTS like 4 times on ILM now

My Own Way may be second-last in my old ranking but it's still fucking awesome and deserved a vote or two. The only change I'd make right now would be to swap New Religion and Hold Back The Rain.

Competition is indeed very strong here though. Those songs on top are VERY good!

geir did you vote in the 80's poll? you were banned but i think you could still vote. i want you to have voted. really.

for the sake of this album.

ok

this album got 56 points in the 1980s album poll

25 of them were courtesy of me

therefore this album received a sum total of 31 points from everyone else on ilx

a sad day
