Duran Duran's high-gloss, hook-filled pop took its initial cues from the wildly varied musical landscape of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Tracks like “Girls on Film” and “Is There Something I Should Know” added glamour to the spiky synth-pop experiments of The Human League and Gary Numan; cuts like “Rio” refined David Bowie's Berlin-era experimentalism and Roxy Music's shimmering romanticism into glinting pop gems.
