My Take
Andy Taylor sits in a fascinating spot for me: a glam-era Duran Duran heartthrob who never let go of the grit underneath the gloss. What I respect most isn't the stadium fame but the craftsman's resume behind it, writing and producing for Robert Palmer, Rod Stewart and a long list of rock acts. That tells me he saw music as a trade, not just a spotlight. Plenty of pop stars vanish when the cameras move on; Taylor built a skill set that outlasted the trend. I find that quiet durability more compelling than any New Romantic photo shoot ever was.
