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

Customer Reviews:
Classic 80's rock
I know that most of these songs are older than myself but I really this collection of 80's New Wave rock music. Not A single track in the album was skipped. My favorites on this ablum include the awesome James Bond Theme song "A View to a Kill" "Electric Barbarella", "Notorious", "Girls on Film", and "The Reflex".
Nice intro album 
This disc covers most of Duran Duran's biggest hits, many of which I have been hearing on the radio for years. Most are from the early 80's, including songs from the album "Rio". There are a couple of songs I think are overrated, including "A View to a Kill". However the others are great, and "Come Undone" along with "Ordinary World" are beautiful songs they released in 1993. Hardcore fans would probably own all of the albums but I'm happy with this album (for now). It includes most songs you would want in a single disc, but if you're into B-sides and other rarities you're out of luck.
Nice to have so many of their songs in one place.
Mostly a lot of good songs. A few so - so ones but who does`nt try to dump in a few lesser songs in a CD?
Nearly forgot how much I liked Duran Duran as a teen in the early 80s.
Buy it and you will love it as much as I do.
You'll Love This Album
When you talk 80's music you are talking Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, & Pat Benatar. Duran Duran are "the" band of the 80's and this album has all of their hits that made them "the" band of the 80's. The remastered mix on this album sounds clearer and more precise than the original albums. You'll love the quality of the audio.
Music CD
The CD was shipped faster than most products purchased online and the quality of the CD was impeccable.
