As the title suggest, this is Duran's greatest work November 9, 2008
Featuring all of Duran's mega 80's hits, and a few 90's ones you may not be familiar with, this collection of hits is an excellent compiliation of the bands best work.
Almost timeless hits on here which quite rightly get their due, a Duran Duran greatest hits had been long overdue, and in 1998 with their commercial success at an all time low, this release was a timely reminder of how good they are.
Re-released in 2004 to even better commerical success during a sell out UK tour, Duran Duran proved that chart success may only be temporary, but class is permenant.
Duran's Big Hits April 1, 2008
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.

DURAN 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 high).
All of which adds up to a pretty impressive career - most of which you'll find on this worthy CD. Check it out.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I 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.
