Long before the single was available in the U.S. (actually in the summer
of '82) I heard "Hungry Like the Wolf" on Kiss-108 (WXKS) in Boston.  I
liked it more then than now.  The video is pretty good though.

I think they have catchy tunes.

I never bought a Duran Duran album, so I don't know what they've done
besides their pop hits, but my favorites are "Is There Something I
Should Know", "The Reflex" and "Rio".
