Thank You by Duran Duran

Thank You, Duran Duran's eighth studio album, came out on Parlophone in 1995, and it's a covers record, which was a bold move for a band only two years removed from the comeback of the Wedding Album. Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and guitarist Warren Cuccurullo dress up other people's songs in their own sleek clothes, and the title track is a take on Led Zeppelin's "Thank You", which had already surfaced in shorter edits on the With Honors soundtrack and the Encomium tribute to Zeppelin.

"White Lines" is the track that turned heads, the band leaning into a slinky, sneering groove. The critics were not kind, though the record still reached 12 in the UK and 19 on the Billboard 200. John Taylor would be gone by 1997.
