One of the reasons why the music of today isn't as consequential as the '80s' is its lack of thoughtful melodies. It's isn't about simplicity per se but the lack of efforts in ensuring what sticks in people's heads once they hear the music. I am rather thankful to have grown up in the '80s & Duran Duran, together with Depeche Mode et al, was playing on the radio. But these days, Duran Duran's past works are a great source of bass reference for me- no technicalities here, just the lines which made the song work. I've been listening to Duran Duran's Greatest Hits for the last few days or so. Great music.
