Thanks...

...for the ultimate British invasion after the first major invasion - from the Fab Four to the Fab Five.

Duran Duran


Unique genres - New Wave, Synth-Pop, Pop Rock 

On Set List, you know their story (Wikipedia).

In the present day, the Future Past album was released in October 2021.  On an interesting note, Future Past was originally slated to release in March 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Solo and group Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions achieve the ultimate honor and is noted first when I write about musician success.

Duran Duran's induction is now first.  On a sad note, Andy Taylor was unable to attend the ceremony due to a long battle with stage IV prostate cancer.  In his words, "massively disappointed."
