However, American Duran Duran fans caught hold of this song in 1983, when MTV first started playing the video and Capitol Records re-released their eponymous debut album in the US. ---

My favorite PSB song is “[Go West](https://youtu.be/LNBjMRvOB5M?si=6bEm5ntB-Okm9NI3),” though it dates to 1993, so, well outside the parameters of this game. I also love “Suburbia.” ---

(not in play) It’s interesting that the Second British Invasion started in the early 80s, and skips the Punk Rock Invasion of the late 70s. So many awesome bands charted then: The Police, The Clash, The Attractions (with Elvis Costello)… ---
