“Rio,” recalled Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, “was shorthand for the truly foreign, the exotic, a cornucopia of earthly delights, a party that would never stop.” The British quintet's second album was originally marketed in America like their first, as a New Romantic release, but really took off after it was remixed as dance music (and promoted with some iconic videos). Housed in distinctive Patrick Nagel cover art, the nine songs include such favorites as “Save A Prayer,” the title track and the #3 hit “Hungry Like The Wolf.” A Platinum album that defined new wave music in the 1980s for millions of listeners, RIO was released on this day in 1982, and the party still hasn't stopped.
