Duran Duran have at least 10 worthy songs, the other two bands might scrape that between them.

I am a Duran fanbois however :tickled:

One of my kind & Enjoy the Silence are great songs, but Duran eat them up.

INXS for me, although honestly I think all three of these bands rock some serious ass and none of them are really clearly better than the other two.

Duran Duran.

Depeche Mode did nothing for me really after 1985, and though I like some INXS songs, not enough to warrant buying 1 of their albums.

Where the fuck are Spandau Ballet, dude?

The other three have more hits, but I like Spandau Ballet also if that's any consolation

Duran Duran wins for me purely on nostolgic grounds of it being the only tape I had while on a houseboat for a few weeks as a kid.

INXS had about 3 better than good songs total. They get points for the lead singer's colorful exit from the world, but not enough.

My girlfriend has never stopped liking Depeche Mode, and still listens to them so much that it's come to the point that I can't fucking stand their whiney angst for more that a 3-second burst per month. I liked them in junior high, but get over it. Life is not anywhere near that hopeless.

Even as a serious depeche mode fan, I had to pause for a moment before voting. Excellent choices for a poll.

I made a boo boo and accidentally voted for DM. Of course, the obvious choice is Duran Duran.

YES!!! Such a good tune! Me and my friends used to play Mega man while listening to that song on repeat!

Also Shake this Disease is awesome!

Always been more of a Depeche Mode kind of guy. Come on...

Policy of Truth, Strange Love, Enjoy the Silence, Stripped, and Question of Time. :buttrock:

I'll give Duran Duran it's due also. Good music from both these guys.

Voted Duran Duran afther all they were a big hit in the 80's.

I like DM also but they had more of a "cult following" at the 'time and they still do today.

Duran Duran are cool in a typical 80s music cliché kind of way.

..But Depeche Mode is, in fact, great music! How can anyone even consider the others over them?
