Duran Duran pretty much epitomised and dominated the UK 80s music scene, and along with The Teardrop Explodes were one of the few good acts to spawn from the New Romantic movement. Instantly memorable catchy numbers.
Okay, due to popular demand - I'm back. Sorry folks for the brevity. I didn't realise my paragraph was so enticing. Must try it again sometime.
Back to the Barbarella-esque old timers:
Compilation of the tracks is well thought out. Some bands actually spend longer organising their albums than recording them. The advantage of CDs obviously is that you can shuffle the playlist for your own preferences. So not much of a deal nowadays. Personally, though, and I think you'll agree, it should open with Planet Earth.
The tracks included on the compilation are:
1. Is There Something I Should Know? 2. Reflex 3. View to a Kill 4. Ordinary World 5. Save a Prayer 6. Rio 7. Hungry Like the Wolf 8. Girls on Film 9. Planet Earth 10. Union of the Snake 11. New Moon on Monday 12. Wild Boys 13. Notorious 14. I Don't Want Your Love 15. All She Wants Is 16. Electric Barbarella 17. Serious 18. Skin Trade 19. Come Undone
Sound quality is pretty good too, as you can expect.
If you've got a yearning for a trip down 80's boulevard complete with tea towel around your shoulders, this'll keep you happy for a while.
That about wraps it up for now. Cheers guys. :)
Anyone likes my prose style, I'm hungry, er, like the wolf, to chuck down some more stuff somewhere.

Welcome to Ciao, a decent first op but one that can be improved on for sure! It's a pity that some people have decided to rate you Not Helpful on your very first op. That isn't cool. Oh, and I've got this album, it's great innit?
