Duran Duran arrived on the scene (here in the USA) in the early '80's along with bands like Sieg Sieg Sputnik, Haysi Fantayzee, Culture Club, Flock of Seagulls, Haircut 100, Adam Ant & WHAMM just in time to catch the 1st BIG music video wave with the birth of MTV. Those flashy (and fleshy) music videos probably weren't single handedly responsible for these band's success but they didn't hurt.
