Duran Duran's "All She Wants Is" was way ahead of its time. It was dance-rock back when that term actually described something concrete. Featuring a unique combination of an atonal vocal melody, fuzzed out guitar and synthesizer noise, it's not that far removed from the recent Primal Scream material. Of course, with dance and rock being yin and yang to anyone outside of Manchester in 1989 (not to mention the prodigiously crap video), the Duranies never had a chance.
