Duran Duran: Every Album, Every Song

By Karen Windle

Duran Duran, New Romantic trailblazers and '80s teen idols, are a British institution. Over nearly 45 years, they have broken ground with their indelible music videos, released multiple hit albums and garnered critical acclaim. From their classic self-titled debut LP and the exuberant synth-pop of Rio to the lush balladry of The Wedding Album and their recent masterstroke Future Past, they have never failed to surprise listeners - or influence a new wave of musical artists. In this book, Karen Windle explores their 16 studio albums and key stand-alone singles, sharing the stories behind the music. She offers a closer look at their biggest hits and deepest tracks showcasing the four members' talents: vocalist Simon Le Bon's singular lyrics and rich harmonies, keyboardist Nick Rhodes' innovative synth work and the funk-inflected rhythm section featuring bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor. The two guitarists who put their stamp on Duran Duran's sound aren't overlooked: unapologetic rocker Andy Taylor, who helped propel the classic lineup to the top of the charts, and American axeman Warren Cuccurullo, who pushed the band back into prominence with his inventive riffs. This book provides a roadmap to their extraordinary catalogue, with something for every reader - both new listeners and the most dedicated Duranies.
