Episode 27: Duran Duran’s “Big Thing” (1988) & Welcome, Rob!

In this episode we delve deep into the iconic Duran Duran album “Big Thing.” Join Laurie along with our new co-host and resident music aficionado Rob as they take you on a track-by-track exploration of this groundbreaking record. From the infectious rhythms of “I Don’t Want Your Love” to the ethereal sounds of “Palomino,” we dissect each song's unique production, lyrical themes, and the band's innovative sonic experiments that pushed the boundaries of their signature New Romantic sound. We also include a few non-album tracks, including Simon LeBon’s solo track “Grey Lady of the Sea” and “Follow in my Footsteps,” part of a band side project. Tune in to relive the magic of this influential album and gain new insights into the creative genius behind one of the ’80s most enduring bands.
