 In this edition of Set List Recommended, I am featuring a "two for one" - two YouTube videos in one post.  The first video is Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer."  The second video is Roger Taylor's Desert Island Discs Vol. 1 in full.  

I was intrigued by Roger's share of Duran Duran to cap off his Desert Island Discs.  In the Set List Recommended post I am featuring now - 

Desert Island Discs Vol. 1 - Duran Duran

- I will, once more, let Roger Taylor say the rest of it.
