Do you think duran duran will go down in history as a band of talented musicians ?

They were famous but that doesn't mean anything

Guns And Roses were famous and sold lots of records , most rock fans I know think they were a well marketed Aerosmith rip off
I'm not saying that they're the greatest band of all time, just that they're not useless and they're not talentless. They're still playing and making records with most of their original members. After 40 years. Not too shabby.
