Thank You (Parlophone, 1995)
Thank You was a cover album named the worst ever album by Q magazine in March 2006. Gareth Grundy, the deputy editor for Q magazine, said of the album, “Duran Duran was the one that united everyone in agreement. We put it on in the office to remind ourselves how bad it was. Sometimes these things are redeemed by some sort of kitsch or novelty value, but it didn’t even have that. It’s not funny for even a split second and not even the sort of thing that you would put on for a laugh if you were drunk.” Ken Scott, the engineer of the album, also thought “it turned out pretty badly”. The band considered it commercial suicide. Chris Gerard of Metro Weekly ranked it as Duran Duran’s worst album.
