Popdose revisits one of my favorite singles of the late ’80s, Duran Duran’s Shep Pettibone-tricked “I Don’t Want Your Love”: “Simply put, Pettibone saved Duran Duran’s ass. Armed with an explosive intro, bubbly percussion, a bottom-heavy rhythm section, staccato horns, and a brief but fierce guitar solo, ‘I Don’t Want Your Love’ was a hell of an intro to Duran Mach II.” Could you imagine what mid-period Duran Duran would have been like without this song? Something tells me they’d be donning the unfortunate matching suits even earlier in their career! [Popdose]
