English new wave band Duran Duran ruled the 80s and were one of the most successful bands of the decade.
The band is named after a character in 1968 classic Barbarella starring Jane Fonda. The villain in the film was called Dr Durand Durand.
One of the main factors that launched their career was the video age. The introduction of the 24-hour music channel MTV gave the band a whole new outlet of exposure.
They were the first band to shoot with 35 mm film, which gave a much more polished look than was standard at the time.
The band were also innovators with their use of video technology in their live shows.
They became so popular that Milton Bradley released the Duran Duran board game Arena, which was named after their live album released in 1984.
They were also rumored to be Princess Diana’s favorite band.
The band’s popularity had begun to decline by the end of the 80s but after mixing up the band members and their music style, they experienced a resurgence in the early 1990s.
The band has gone on to sell over 100 million records worldwide.
