Duran Duran is one the best of the New Wave bands to come from Britain in the early eighties! This was their breakthrough hit and the were the darlings of MTV because they had the best, most expensive videos with great locations in their videos! I’m a dedicated Duranie for life! They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022! They still tour and release new music and I hope to see them soon! Try their hits; Rio, Save A Prayer, Wild Boys, and much more!!❤❤

Duran Duran! The kings of MTV back when it first aired. Their MTV videos were the best and set the standard for the micro-mini music movie that emerged during that era. And, yes, big in shattering that race barrier.

You two are hilarious 😂😂😂 You must continue with Duran Duran! They are one of the biggest groups of the 1980's and their videos are like mini movies. "Hungry Like The Wolf" which was released in 1982 was their breakout song. Their are so many Duran Duran songs to listen to: "Rio", "The Reflex", "The Wild Boys", "View To A Kill", "Notorious", "Is There Something I Should Know" is just the beginning. Please continue on with them. You won't be disappointed.

Hungry Like The Wolf did break Duran Duran in the US. However, the song was released 3 times between May & December 1982 as Duran Duran was not getting radio airplay but their record label was relentless and believed in the band. Duran Duran was getting & gaining traction with the song on MTV but MTV was limited in availability throughout US households & Radio wouldn't play Hungry Like The Wolf, because they had their status quo program lists of playing the same notable artists. It was the December 1982 release of Hungry Like The Wolf (Night Version) mixed by David Kershenbaum for Duran Duran's EP album Carnival that broke the track in the United States. People usually talk about the HLTW video, which was amazing, fresh, different & epic at the time but radio broke Duran Duran in the United States as you say, "It reached #3 on The Billboard Top 40 which was their first American hit."

I highly recommend you check out the whole Rio album. It is one of my all-time favorites. Every track had the potential to be a hit. In this day and age when music is cookie-cutter crap, discovering Duran Duran will be a breath of fresh air. And their music videos are "productions." Back then they were a band that was commonly on 3 charts at the same time! Popular, New Wave, and Dance charts. I am happy that I was able to experience their music from the beginning.

@@mattbelinski7760 Does ANYONE put Duran Duran in a list of the best musicians? Nope. They're underrated. They sold records, but they don't get the credit for the skills they STILL have. 💯 Most of the time, when they're even brought up in an 80's retrospective or something, people talk about the video, the fashion, or the hair. DAMMED few people tall about John Taylor's bass lines that make most bass players want to quit and sell shows for a living. NO ONE talks about the machine gun synchopation that Roger Taylor keeps a rhythm to, that will make your arms feel like 6 days at the gym by the end of the song. People talk about Simon, but its all looks and no talk of the way he's able to scoop his vocals FLAWLESSLY from minor to major chords, MID PHRASE, without a breath. We all know Nick's keys... but very few people now realize that he did that without samples and it took a damned math genius to get that on beat with those old synths. And finally, there's Andy Taylor on guitar, playing everything from jazz chords, to funk breaks, to distortion riffs, to damned off-time reggae parts.... And they talk about is what the band was wearing and their hair. 🙄 They're CRAZY underrated!! 💯

And these 2022 RRHOF inductees are currently working on their next album, may even do a Halloween album. Thank you for ALL your reactions & keeping us smiling 🎶 Love & many blessings to you both ❤❤

Can I give you a tip? Always, always, ALWAYS watch Duran's official videos if you can. Many of them are very intricate - like mini movies - and always amazing to watch. My fave is A View To a Kill - which actually IS from the James Bond sountrack. And they make their own little JB movie in the video. My fave song is called The Reflex. It's a concert video - but special to me because it's shot in Toronto, Canada - a few hours away from me.
