The Profile

English music group formed in Birmingham in the late 1970s. They rose to international popularity in the early 1980s (notably with Rio), combined striking visuals with pop, funk and synth sounds, experienced lineup changes (Andy Taylor, Roger Taylor, Warren Cuccurullo) and have released albums from the 1980s through the 2020s.

Formed in Birmingham; core members include Simon Le Bon (vocals), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), John Taylor (bass); lauded for Rio (1982); career spans over 40 years; credited with selling over one hundred million records (mentioned in DeBaser reviews).

DeBaser's reviews trace Duran Duran from their Birmingham new‑romantic/new‑wave origins to their present-day albums. Rio and the early 1980s work are repeatedly celebrated; mid-career years and some later albums attract mixed reactions. Recent releases such as Future Past are praised, and covers projects (Danse Macabre) draw varied opinions.
