Editorial Review: Description: A collection of the most popular tracks by the new romantic/pop act who formed in Birmingham in the late 1970's. Between 1981 and 1989 Duran Duran had 13 top ten hits, and they are all included here. 'Is There Something I Should Know' and 'The Reflex' were both no.1 singles. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Duran's Big HitsThe 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. Rating:  - BOYS ON FORMDURAN DURAN have earned their place as icons of 80's pop culture. Live, they still deliver today. Of course, with a back catalogue of many excellent songs, any 19 track compilation is going to be as subjective as the person responsible for its content but, fortunately, this is a fine effort with only the occasional turkey (i.e. Wild Boy) in sight. Looking back, it sends a considerable shiver up the old donkey jacket when I think of the term NEW ROMANTIC - Post-Punk was my formative era - but DURAN DURAN immediately impressed with the classic PLANET EARTH, and carried on impressing right up to ORDINARY WORLD (one of the most beautifully judged pop songs you'll ever hear and, in my opinion, the climax to a sixteen-year ... Read More: Rating: - duran duran's greatest momentsI have always been a fan of Duran Duran, I thought they were great. It took me years to get hold of their greatest hits album but now I have. Its a good album which lists all of their hits way back to the early '80s. From the likes of 'is there something i should know' with its catchy beat and memorable chorus all the way to the '90s with underrated 'come undone' this album will take you on a trip down memory lane. My favourites are 'Girls on film', 'Save a prayer' and 'Hungry like the wolf' but theres not a bad track on the album. The lyrics are genuine unlike some of the rubbish thats been in the charts. I feel duran duran's greatest rounds off their finest hits quite nicely. Outstanding cd. Rating: - greatestthe greatest band of the 8o's, this cd will keep you going on the longest journey and everyone must know all the words..... trust me they will go on and on greatest 2 on the way hopefully! Rating: - Near Perfect Compilation ...The return of the original lineup of Duran could be more than just an exercise in nostalgia ... I caught them 'live' when they came to Singapore recently and was privy to a couple of new songs that will be in their upcoming album this fall (2004). I found one of the songs to be extremely catchy; it had a nice folk-pop arrangement. With regards to this compilation, it is near perfect and supercedes their previous Decade. My only complaint is that they left out Out Of My Mind, the single from the soundtrack of The Saint. It is definitely better than say, Serious or All She Wants Is, either of which should have made way for it. If I were to nitpick further, they could have considered other songs like My Own Way, Careless Memories, New ... Read More: |
