Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf are my favorites! Fun fact: Simon’s, ex-wife I think, was/is Claire Stansfield. My maiden name is Stansfield...and my descendants on my dad’s side are from England, so...

Rio will always be one of my all-time favorite albums. I can say that because I can see into my future. The Chauffeur is one of my favorite run out grooves and a perfect album nightcap. That said, I usually skip “Hungry Like the Wolf” when I play the album. Probably from being so overplayed in ‘82.

One of their finest tracks and the peak of their early work before they went a bit "stadium" with Seven And The Ragged Tiger.

Finally got around to listening to this (I've been busy!), it's a Duran Duran I never knew existed. Interesting (in a good way).
