These guys helped launch MTV, for those that aren't aware, when MTV first launched it was mainly videos before there was anyplace else to watch them. Kids like myself, would just spend hours watching the channel and Duran Duran's videos were very impressive for the time.

You seriously think that the music press and general perception of this band isn’t underrated when all they are ever touted as is an 80’s band, and every single time they are interviewed they are reminded constantly of their days as “new romantics” and past fashions! I’d say that counts as being underrated for their musicality, accomplishments in record sales and influence on other musicians.

This man has always been super easy on the eyes🥰🥰

My big brother pitilessly mocked me for loving Duran Duran back in the 80s, only to shock the hell out of me twenty years later saying "I only said those things to rile you up, they were great and still are". We were able to attend a Duran Duran gig in 2004. It was an incredible gig and one of my best adventures with my brother. I'm not well enough to attend gigs anymore but I've been lucky to see them live many times in the past. I'm so glad they were eventually inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame but I'm really sorry to hear Andy has cancer.

Duran Duran were the BEST band of the 80’s!! The BEST music videos! (Planet Earth, My Own Way, Rio, Careless Memories……). They sold over 100 MILLION albums!!! Incredible!!

This was great, the back and forth was wonderful and Simon is just so much fun. Duran Duran deserves the induction, they have incredible staying power and the ability to flow with the times while still remaining true to themselves. Been a fan of Duran Duran since the beginning and Kimmel does a great job of the interview.

80s was best decade to be young. Miss it so much.

Back in 1988 I watched them live in Brazil... That was a fantastic concert, they were(and still are) so cool.

DD are my youth and my present. Wrongly labeled as Band of the 80s they are pillars of music history. Plus their knowledge of music is enormous. I don’t recall how many times I saw them live. I still treasure those vibes. They deserve their place in the Music Hall of Fame and it was time

"There's so many comebacks, we haven't gone away!!" I love you, Simon Le Bon!

I loved seeing Duran Duran when they were here in Toronto. Hearing them play their old stuff and their new stuff really shows that they have maintained a caliber of excellence throughout the years!

The Reflex! My all-time favorite pop song ever!

Lucky To Have Met Mr. Le Bon Many Years Ago Down To Earth Human Being. Great Live Band As Well With Duran Duran Caught The Current Tour At MSG Worth Every Penny

Have always adored Duran Duran, and was lucky enough to meet them at an album signing years ago. Simon was also kind enough to chat to one of my friends on the phone, as well. Nicest lads ever, plus killer on stage.

They have never been better live! One of the GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME!

For the first time in my life, I was able to buy a Duran Duran satin tour jacket from 1983. They label the jackets as “vintage“. Lol! I do not care that I cannot fit into it, I have my dream concert jacket! I am damn near 50 years old and I’m able to afford one now. I saw Duran Duran back in 2016, for the first time and I loved every second of it! It was as if I was a kid again. I hope to see them again. They are just as phenomenal today as they were 40 years ago.

I have been a fan of Duran Duran since 1982, they have made some incredible music and videos over the years, they are brilliant live band, after 40, years they are still making great music and touring, Duran Duran greatest band ever

Just wanna say Duran Duran is STILL so good live! I saw them a few years ago on tour with the great Nile Rodgers. I'll never forget it. Esp since I was such a huge fan in the 80s, and saw them perform back then!

80s and 90s was a great decades for music

Huge Duran fan since I was a teen walking down the beach singing Save a Prayer to myself. I always knew I was right about them, and after a few decades the critics finally started to get it. I also totally agree with Jimmy that "Do They Know it's Christmas" is a great song. I always thought the song and even the name BandAid showed how much better more creative the Brit rock/pop scene was at the time than America with it's dull and cloying USAforAfrica.

Wow! After 38 years since the release of “The Reflex,” Simon finally hints at the meaning of the song’s cryptic lyrics. Jimmy: “Why don’t you use it, try not to bruise it. What are we trying not to bruise in that song?” Simon: “Use your imagination Jimmy.” Priceless response!
