Duran Duran Album: “Decade: Greatest Hits”

If you want to get into 80s music, forget all the other bands and focus on Duran Duran. They have a talent that is un-paralleled, and this shows on this hits album.

If you don't know what album to get, but want to get into this band, buy Decade, as it has every single hit they've ever recorded - "Rio", "Hungry Like The Wolf", "Girls On Film", "Save A Prayer", "A View To A Kill", "The Reflex" and "Wild Boys", amongst some other fantastic tunes.

Pop-tastic, in the 80s way.

This is strange for me to rate, as I am generally a rocker at heart, but the 80s are my weakness, and Duran Duran are my biggest weakness from that time. And yes, I am going to see them in about three months and can't wait.

But seriously, this album is absolutely AMAZING, and everyone must own it who likes this type of New Romantic music.

This is a good collection of DD's best songs from the eighties, though it does leave out The Chauffeur (which even Greatest didn't have) and New Moon on Monday along with other songs that I liked that didn't do as well. In a way it's better than Greatest because it leaves the songs alone rather than butchering them to fit a time limit. Except for "Hungry like the Wolf" which only has one "Hungry like the wolf" in the instrumental break. The CD also leaves out two of the best DD songs, Come Undone and Ordinary World, along with quirky hit "Electric Barbarella". But if you like their 80's songs best, this is great.

I'm realistic. I expect that about two minutes after this is posted there will be a non-helpful vote. I'm not paranoid. I just think it's weird when I post a bunch of Duran Duran comments (or edit them) in one day and about ten hours after they're up (or maybe even less time) there is a non-helpful vote for each and every one of them, even the obscure Arcadia CD. Is it just me, or do the DD-haters need to get a life?

Reading past comment I was laughing very loud.

Although everyone has its own opionion I believe that this compilation is worths the buying.

DD made history. This is not an opionion. This is a FACT. Then you may say if you agree or not and that is correct. We all have opionions. But FACTS are FACTS.

Now, further to that, if you wanna take a junmp into DD history I wuld probably reccomend the laytesta Compilation, that is DURAN DURA GREATEST HITS. It contains all major hits until 2000 (medazzaland cd included).

But htis compilation is nice too: songs from DURAN DURAN, RIO, SEVEN and the RAGGED TIGER. Believe me: they made pop music change. Forward.

Cheers,

While including most of their earlier hit singles, this album misses out on what made Duran so good, their artfull, well crafted and poetic album tracks, and even some of their best singles. Pop fizz is here but not the involving depth of songs like the Chauffeur, the Seventh Stranger, New Religion and Sound of Thunder. If you don't have any Duran albums and would like to check them out, start with a proper album like Rio, and don't get the wrong idea about them.

My best friend gave me the cd as a christmas present and I religiously play it whenever I clean. I hate cleaning so I really need some inspiration! The music brings me back to the simple life of big hair/multiple colored hair, too much makeup, neon clothes, leg warmers, head bands, wearing socks with your shoes, michael jackson's face before his 878th plastic surgery and when mtv had little talk and all music. It's great to feel 14/15 again at least a couple times a month! I really miss the three taylors because they all contributed their own style to the music. I see this cd as a tribute to the REAL DURAN DURAN!
