Duran Duran Duran Duran

“Duran Duran’s eponymous debut artfully coalesced the sonic and stylistic elements of the burgeoning new romantic movement they were soon to spearhead: pumping synths, glossy production, and seemingly impossible haircuts. Ultra-smart singles like “Girls on Film” and “Planet Earth” became instant smash hits both in the U.K. and America. Side two was a far more experimental and revealing affair, with primary songwriter Nick Rhodes leading the band through atmospheric mood-pieces which are reminiscent of mid-era Roxy Music” - Eduardo Rivadavia, AllMusic
