Releasing their first single, 'Planet Earth', in 1981, then going on to make expensive videos that would make MTV a viable concept, Duran Duran eventually gained credibility in the 1990s when they released the shimmering pop gem 'Ordinary World'.

Past classics include 'Rio' and 'Hungry Like The Wolf'. Keyboard player Nick Rhodes co-produced the last Dandy Warhols album.
