On this day in 1982 (10 May 1982), Duran Duran released their second studio album “Rio” featuring singles "My Own Way" "Hungry Like the Wolf" "Save a Prayer" and "Rio".
Retrospective reviewers consider Rio the band's best work and praise its timelessness, instrumentation and band performances. With the album, Duran Duran were forerunners in the Second British Invasion of the 1980s, helping ensure the success of other English artists throughout the decade. It has since made appearances on best-of lists and has been reissued several times.
