Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and transport your mind to the 1980s.
It's a magical land where the clothes are bright, everything tastes like purple, and vinyl LPs have been left behind for the superior technology of the cassette tape.
Now try to think of every '80s band you can — go ahead, name them, one by one. It's hard, isn't it? The '80s were a time of big personalities where one-name artists like Prince and Madonna seemingly ruled the airwaves.
But, it turns out there were actually plenty of bands, and not just holdovers from the '70s. In fact, one of them got so big that they were dubbed the Fab Five by the press.
Which totally rad band earned this moniker?

Correct Answer: Duran Duran
The answer is: Duran Duran. Duran Duran, the band responsible for hits including “Hungry Like The Wolf”, received the nickname The Fab Five from the British press during their meteoric rise to fame in the '80s. The nickname would seem to imply that they were the modern heir to the throne of The Beatles, who were known around the world as The Fab Four at the peak of their fame. Duran Duran had a wildly impressive career, selling over 100 million albums, but would never come anywhere near the roughly 183 million albums sold by The Beatles.Source
