Thank You was a covers album by Duran Duran released in April 1995. The
band's next album after the smash success of 1993's Duran Duran (The
Wedding Album) was hotly anticipated by fans and critics alike, but Thank You
was a long time coming, and its performance was a dismal failure by many
critics' standards.

The album was reportedly begun as a lighthearted tribute to the band's
influences, in the vein of Bowie's Pin Ups -- some of the tracks were recorded
in borrowed studios (including Prince's Paisley Park) while the band was on
the Wedding Album tour, with the intent to have an album ready to release
soon after the tour was finished. Another studio album was to follow quickly
afterwards. However, after a brief break the band set up a portable studio in
the south of France to finish the album with producer John Jones, and
progress slowed to a crawl. Conflicts within the band and between the band
and Capitol/EMI created delay after delay, and mix after mix was ordered
and rejected. Duran Duran's former drummer Roger Taylor, who retired from
the band in 1986, joined the band in studio to play drums on "Watching The
Detectives" and "Perfect Day" (as well as a cover of "Jeepster" by T. Rex
that did not appear on the album).[1]

By the time Thank You was finally released in 1995, the band was not
enthusiastic about supporting the album, and much of the promotional work
was done solely by Simon Le Bon and Warren Cuccurullo. Videos were
completed for "White Lines" and "Perfect Day" (Roger Taylor, who did not
tour or do any promotions with the band, excited old fans by appearing in
"Perfect Day"), but the videos saw almost no airplay on the MTV or VH1
channels. Duran Duran were not happy about a label-mandated 1995 summer
tour of radio station festivals. Bassist John Taylor was particularly frustrated,
and stormed off the stage several times over the course of the tour. After a
final half-capacity show in Southern California, where the band was booed,
Taylor remained in Los Angeles to launch the resolutely anti-corporate side
project Neurotic Outsiders with former members of Guns N' Roses and the
Sex Pistols.[2]

An acoustic version of the title track "Thank You" was included on the 1995
Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium, and was also included on the
soundtrack for the Joe Pesci film With Honours.

The cover of this album features a collage of the various artists whose songs
were covered on this album, including Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Public Enemy with
Flavor Flav, Jim Morrison of The Doors, Sly And The Family Stone, and Lou
Reed.
