My kid loves Duran Duran. 

I'd made an iPod playlist for her, mostly with upbeat ("We Got the Beat") and girl-power ("R-E-S-P-E-C-T") songs, along with "classics" that I thought she would like ("Dancing Queen" anyone?), or might be appropriate for time of day, like "Slumber My Darling" and "(Reach up for the) Sunrise."  (One of these days I will post the Peach Playlist.) 

She totally dug the Duran Duran song.  Totally.  Like, demanded, "More! More!" as soon as the song switched over.  And I had to play it over and over (naturally) in response, right? 

When I was, say, 12, I told my Dad that Duran Duran was bigger than the Beatles.  He scoffed.  But I can definitely say that Peach is not demanding, "The Long and Winding Road" over and over again.  And now I have an excuse to listen to the, um, 62 Duran Duran songs on my iPod.  Over and over again.
