indomitable ensemble was at its peak during those mercurial '80s. This greatest-hits CD and DVD 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

Advantages: Marvelous videos Disadvantages: Not any interviews with the band apart from DVD ROM
I thought it was time I reviewed DuranDuransgreatest on DVD.
This is a two disk set and also a region 0 that means it can play on any DVD player.
The packaging on this is very nice and quite simple, white box and when you open it up bars of colour on the inlay covers. The disks have no fancy pictures on but are nice silver disks with Greatest I or II on them.
As you put either of the disks on the menu has GREATEST and you can navigate through the letters on each disk that bring you into the menu of songs or features for that letter on each disks. Very clever.
All of the songs are the original music videos unless I state otherwise.
I shall take you through what is on it :
Disk 1
The letter R contains:
Planet Earth. This is one of their first videos on one of the earliest videos that was released and shown on top ...
Advantages: Excellent price for CD and DVD package Disadvantages: DVD could have lasted a bit longer
on their career with some of the same beat.
Recently you can compare DuranDurans work to the sound of "Blur" as the group have got a slightly different pace to them in the 2000's and more of a guitar background than they used to have. Simon's lyrics have got more into the spirit of talking about feelings and there are a lot of songs on this album that have benefited from that otherwise this would have not been a very good album. This pace is what they needed for the new millennium to move on.
This album has twelve songs on which I thought was very good for this album, there are mixed fast, middle, and slow paced songs and this is one of their albums that is most underrated.
Also in this package there is a bonus DVD which includes their live tour at Wembley 2004.
Tracks on this are :
1. Reach up for the Sunrise
This was one ...
Advantages: The best of the New Romantics with some catchy 80's songs. Disadvantages: Some of the later songs not quite as good as eariler stuff
DuranDuran were part of the New Romantics music craze which swept the uk in the early 80's.This consisted of other bands like Adam and the Ants,Spandau ballet,Visage,Japan and ABC.The orginal line up of the band consisted of Simon le Bon (vocals) Roger Taylor( Drums) Andy Taylor ( guitar) John Taylor ( bass ) and Nick Rhodes(keyboards). The group hailed from Birmingham and stood out with their dress sense and style. Their first hit Planet Earth set the formula for their future success, stylish video mixed with bombastic lyrics created a heady pop mix.
Greatest contains their hit singles from their first album DuranDuran though to the wedding ablum. Hits include Girls on film, hungry like the wolf, Rio,wild boys and ordinary world to name a few.They hold up surprsingly well with their catchy lyrics and Duran always were a classy pop ...
