The Power Station – The Power Station 33⅓

The Power Station – The Power Station 33⅓

Released in 1985, The Power Station 33⅓ brought together members of Duran Duran with powerhouse vocalist Robert Palmer and producer/bassist Bernard Edwards for one of the defining supergroup albums of the 1980s.

Blending hard rock riffs, funk grooves, dance rhythms, and slick pop production, the album delivers a muscular, high-energy sound that stood apart from the polished new wave of the era. Driven by Tony Thompson’s explosive drumming, John and Andy Taylor’s sharp guitar and bass work, and Palmer’s commanding vocals, tracks like “Some Like It Hot” and their explosive cover of “Get It On (Bang A Gong)” became massive international hits.

The album also explores funk and soul influences through tracks like “Harvest For The World,” while maintaining a sleek, modern edge throughout. Stylish, confident, and packed with swagger, The Power Station 33⅓ remains a standout snapshot of mid-1980s rock-pop crossover at its most ambitious and energetic.
