Who’s this British boyband, and why do they matter?
It’s 1982, and Duran Duran are the hottest thing since sliced bread. Girls are going crazy over this band of British hunks with such upbeat poppy tunes to go along with their good looks. Riding off of the major success of a popular debut album, some bands flop and fall off the map quicker than they arrived to the scene. But Duran Duran has a success story with Rio, the debut album that grew bigger than its predecessor and launched them into the stratosphere. The combination of funk, pop, and downright catchy tunes, along with some memorable videos made for an album that would go down in history.
