Advantages: One of the best albums ever Disadvantages: None
...my favourite one ……
To me Rio is the best ever Duran Duran album, every song on this is a masterpiece and sounds as fresh as it did when it was made and released in 1982.

"Rio" really did have it all and the band brought out their best album ever in ...

Advantages: Takes you back to your youth - if you're 30 something! Disadvantages: Only 9 tracks
I am in the process of buying all my favourite vinyl albums in cd format. Being 34, this consequently means that most of my favourites are from the 80s.

Advantages: fantastic album Disadvantages: not enough tracks
...even today are well known. Rio and Save a prayer. I recently saw the guys play in Birmingham and the songs are timeless. Some of my personal favourites off the album are Lonley in your nightmear, Hold back the rain, the chauffeur. This is defently a must have album for anyone new discovering the joys of Duran Duran. IN 2001 they remastered the cd and it now has videos to watch on the disc.This album defently sounds a lot different in style to the ...

Advantages: Some good tracks Disadvantages: Fatty Le Bon

Advantages: great songs, style and music Disadvantages: my own way is on it
...like hungry like the wolf, rio and the excellent save a prayer which shot the boys to worldwide fame, and should have made number one, the production is excellent and if you skip my own way, you have a flawless album that for 1982 stood alone in its field. ...
