Duran's Big Hits - By: gnagfloW, 01 Apr 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 & 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 & such song should have been included (OK, Violence of Summer) but can not find any real faultin the selection. The sound quality is fine which should not be a surprise; the sound quality of DD was always top class.
BOYS ON FORM - By: Kelvin J. Dickinson, 07 Aug 2007 
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, & 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.

duran duran's greatest moments - By: holly richardson, 03 May 2006 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 & 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' & 'Hungry like the wolf' but theres not a bad track on the album. The lyrics are genuine unlike some of the rubbish thats beenin the charts. I feel duran duran's greatest rounds off their finest hits quite nicely. Outstanding cd.
greatest - By: , 04 Jul 2004 the greatest band of the 8o's, this cd will keep you going on the longest journey & everyone must know all the words..... trust me they will go on & on greatest 2 on the way hopefully!
Near Perfect Compilation ... - By: , 21 Jun 2004 The return of the original lineup of Duran could be more than just an exercisein nostalgia ... I caught them 'live' when they came to Singapore recently & was privy to a couple of new songs that will bein 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 & 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 Religion (a concert fave), Do You Believe In Shame, or even Violence Of Summer, but hey, there's only so much space on the CD (as evidenced by the inclusion of shorter single versions).
Good enough to whet your appetite for their new album .. if it is as good as The Bangles comeback album (Doll Revolution), I would be reasonably happy!
