Duran Duran has done what few of their peers have been able to do: They've managed to survive the test of time.
Over the years, there have been some lineup shakeups, but to this day, the core of the band remains intact with the current lineup being Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor.
Selling over 100 million albums worldwide, the group is responsible for some of the most enduring pop-rock hits of all time from "Hungry Like the Wolf" to "The Reflex" to "Notorious" to "The Wild Boys" to "Ordinary World" and many more.
