Duran Duran is an English Synth pop/pop band notable for a long series of popular singles and vivid music videos. They were the most commercially successful of the New Romantic bands and a leading band in the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" of the United States. During the past three decades they have placed 21 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 and 30 in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. Duran Duran have sold more than 85 million records. The band's hit singles include "Planet Earth", "Girls On Film", "Rio","Hungry Like the Wolf", "Save A Prayer", "Is There Something I Should Know?", "Union Of The Snake", "The Reflex", "Wild Boys" and the James Bond theme "A View to a Kill" in the 1980s, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone" in the early-1990s, and "Sunrise" and "What Happens Tomorrow" in the 2000s. They have won two Grammy Awards for their music videos. Duran Duran was created by Nick Rhodes (keyboards) and John Taylor (bass), with the later addition of Roger Taylor (drums), Andy Taylor (guitar), and Simon Le Bon (lead vocals); none of the Taylors are related. The group has never disbanded, but the line-up changed to include guitarist Warren Cuccurullo from 1989 to 2001, and drummer Sterling Campbell from 1989 to 1991. The reunion of the original five members in the early 2000s, leading to the release of Astronaut in 2004, created a stir among music media and the band's fans. | |
