| Detail of Patrick Nagel's cover art for Duran Duran's album, Rio (1982) |
Thirty years ago, on May 10, 1982, Duran Duran released Rio.
I've previously mentioned that I wasn't an enthusiast of their music back in the day, but it is impossible for me to remember the early to mid '80s with hearing Duran Duran's music playing somewhere in the background. Now, with a mix of nostalgia and a fresh appreciation for New Wave-style music, I really enjoy this music.
Although I certainly would complain about the constant airplay that they received on the local radio stations and the various video channels, it was good music with captivating videos. Being very enthusiastic of sexy "Euro-babes" and the exotic beauties of the era, I didn't mind watching the videos over and over and over. ;-)

And I've always loved the cover art. Nobody did stylish and sexy like Patrick Nagel.
So, lets listen to some music:
"Rio"
"Hungry Like the Wolf"
"Lonely in Your Nightmare"
"Save a Prayer"
"The Chauffeur" (NWS-nudity)
Enjoy!!!
