Not my thing at the time, but yep, they could play. Some great tunes too.
Big Si's voice is terrible though. Flatter than Norfolk and a tone like a calf being strangled with an elastic band.

One of my faves below, an almost forgotten classic, the proper version that was released as a Single before the butchered re-arranged version they released on the Rio Album.

But yes they could play and had some really good pop songs. Ordinary World is also my favourite.
There was an interesting documentary about them on the BBC a while back - the biggest surprise was that Simon Le Bon was a former choirboy, and quite good - I always thought his pitching was a bit dodgy too!
John Taylor was a seriously good bass player - my first bass was an Aria SB-1000 like his... I wish I’d kept it, they’re worth big money now. His autobiography is also well worth a read - it’s a typical tale of success, excess and recovery but he comes out of it as a nice guy.
