Duran Duran are a seminal part of the Second British Invasion from the early 1980s.  Their music has stood the test of time and proved not only to be influential with many an artist (including Franz Ferdinand and the Scissor Sisters) but also to have withstood the withering critiques from rock music critics throughout the years.  Their music keeps evolving and progressing and the strength of their live shows highlight their keen musicianship.  They more than belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  Now is their time.
