#517 Duran Duran - Rio

I'll admit I was surprised that Duran Duran had an album on the list. It's not that don't think they make good music, they do, it's more because I never though of them as a band that people took seriously.

Rio is the only album on the list from the band, and while they have had success with many albums, with my personal favorites being "Big Thing" and "The Wedding Album", this album is a pretty good album to represent the band. It's catchy, all of the songs are pretty good, it has some of their biggest hits, and it is a pretty good example of early 80's synth-pop.




"Rio"

"Hungry Like the Wolf"
