Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
While English pop monarchs Duran Duran have remained active for two decades, it's clear that the indomitable ensemble was at its peak during those mercurial '80s. This greatest-hits collection documents the band's ambitious beginnings as a funky glam-rock outfit and follows its gradual transformation into a high-tech pop band with loads of commercial appeal. Featuring now-classic tunes like 'Girls on Film,' 'Rio,' and 'Planet Earth' as well as more recent songs like 'Ordinary World,' Greatest focuses on Duran Duran's unending string of hit singles. Although the young quintet that performs 'Hungry Like the Wolf' and 'A View to a Kill' has little in common with the posh, aging trio featured on 1997's 'Electric Barbarella,' vocalist Simon Le Bon provides some impressive continuity to these proceedings. --Mitch Myers

- Absolutely love it!
I've always been a big Duran Duran fan back in the days, but I completely forgot about their hits until I went to their Red Carpet Massacre concert a few months ago. It was awesome!!! I then had to have their greatest hits CD. I absolutely love it, and it makes the car ride so much fun!

- Definitive Duran Duran.
"We used to be a very chi-chi name to drop in '79, but then the Fab Five hype started and something went wrong. Something went really wrong."--John Taylor.

I confess. I became hooked on Duran Duran's "Fab-Five" sound from the very first time I saw the Godley & Creme video of "Girls On Film" (banned in Britain and heavily-edited for MTV) in 1981. It was that video (featuring women pillow fighting and mud wrestling) that prompted me to hunt down copies of Duran Duran and Rio at my local record store. Those two albums, with a big push from MTV, sparked a worldwide Duran Duran version of Beatlemania for the polished, yet Wild Boys in the band: Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor, and Simon Le Bon. By 1986, the hysteria had waned and the band was losing much of its momentum due to fatigue and tension.

Greatest is an update of the band's earlier, ten-year anniversary compilation ... Read More

- Duran's Big Hits
The CD has all the main hits (pre Astronaut) plus a few lesser known hits. Some songs are edited versions so if that is an issue, beware. This is especially evident on the Rio tracks and Ordinary World. For most people, though, these are the versions they know having heard them on the radio for 20+ years. I could say that such and such song should have been included (OK, Violence of Summer) but can not find any real fault in the selection. The sound quality is fine which should not be a surprise; the sound quality of DD was always top class.

- Great
Great CD. I has the most popular tracks on it. Very good length for a CD with 19 songs. Does not dissapoint.
