3 and 7. I find the first one annoying, but I can sing along to the second.

5 and 7.  Lol, that woman's wearing a lamp shade... ha.  The 90s...

4 and 5

4 and 6

Neither is what I would consider definitive Duran Duran.

Ordinary World is one of my favorite songs of all time.  I remember hearing it for the first time as a very young child, and it has never gotten old for me.

I like the hooks and choruses.. and the verses are kind of bland

[JamesRobot | 5,806]

I'm about a 7/6.  Generally dig Duran Duran.  I have both of these albums.

I do, too. But Seven and the Ragged Tiger was a BIG letdown from Rio.

I have said most of my life that Ordinary World and Come Undone are two of the top 5 songs ever made, and I still stand by this.

Not really familiar with Duran Duran outside of the hits. Ordinary World is a really good song I think. I always thought it was an 80s hit, but apparently it's from 1993 lol, shows how much I kept track.

I wasn't even aware the other song was a Duran Duran song. Was never a fan.

None of these really stack up to Duran Duran Duran of course.

Ordinary World is decent. Never latched onto it like I did their earlier songs, though. I can see why people love it, though.

The Reflex is pure cheese.

I think he wants you to actually enter a vote.

The fallback is I extrapolate a score out of the comments...

"Well, @Sumez kinda sounds like a 4.1 and a 6.378.  @SilverspoonGaming is giving OW a 10.  But he didn't give any thoughts about The Reflex.  But we know he loves Days of Thunder and Come Undone.  So I guess we're going with 6.69."

Don't people know that voting counts towards your user rank?  We got to pump those numbers up.

6 and 5. 

Not sure I've ever heard The Reflex before. I don't hate it. 

Ordinary World is another one that was done to death in my radio listening days. There are many others that grate on me a lot worse.

[SilverspoonGaming | 332]

Ok, my official vote is Reflex 6 - Ordinary World 10.

[Sumez | 2,967]

I kinda wish you'd just written that post without actually entering the votes in the poll

[Tulpa | 3,516]

Yeah, we need to take the absurdity to its limits.

My fault.  I initially gave Ordinary World a 10 and didnt vote on the other and hit submit, but after I thought about it I wasnt sure if it had registered or not.
