i cant believe no-one has reviewed this album! This is probably the best duran album of all time, it features ordinary world, too much information and come undone and a host of other great tracks such as breath after breath. For once everyone stopped hating duran and strated to love them, ordinary world won a novello award for song writing and duran were back in the public eye big time. never in there history have they achieved such a rare return to credibility and ordinary world should have been number one in the uk, i believe it was in america, but they always have better luck over there, buy this album your life is incomplete without it
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 albumDuranDuran 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 ...
Advantages: great tunes, good design, excellent value Disadvantages: cant get hold of it cheers record shops u asswipes
Well, the album flopped in the uk and the staes, hardly surpsing considering that hollywood records hardly promoted it, and the uk radio stations are more concerned with trashy boy and girl bands, does that mean that this is a bad album? No way hose! this album shows duran at there best since the weddingalbum Le bons vocals are unique and despite the loss of John Taylor two albums back, duran show they can still cut the mustard. Skip Lava lamp cos its pap, but the rest of the album shows the three duran boys on top form, someone else not me deserved to be a hit, and Hallucinating elvis should have been released as a single, instead the album seems to have dissappeared from shelves and died an untimely death, dont give up duran, you are still capable of wonderful things. ...
Advantages: Live tracks; Duran in their prime; "Wild Boys" Disadvantages: None

Children of the '80s will already own it or would once have owned it and lost it in a house move. Everyone else should investigate this fine album, but I fear they won't. Almost flawless!
Thanks for reading. ...

Album Notes
Duran Duran: Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Warren Cuccurullo. Additional personnel: Steve Ferrone (drums, percussion); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Bosco (percussion); Lamya, Tessa Niles, Karen Hendrix, Jack Merigg (background vocals); Milton Nascimento. Commonly known as "The Wedding Album" to differentiate it from their self-titled 1981 debut, 1993's DURAN DURAN was an unexpected commercial comeback for Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, spawning two hit singles, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone," that were better than anything the band had done in nearly a decade. The rest of the album succeeds in subtly updating the classic Duran Duran sound without straying too far from their '80s chart-pop roots. The politicized "Too Much Information" and "Sin of the City" (concerning a disaster at a unlicensed New York dance club), are surprisingly aggressive tunes, but elsewhere, "None of the Above" and "Love Voodoo" are more traditional Duran fare. The album's two biggest surprises are the duet with Tropicalia superstar Milton Nasciemento on "Breath After Breath," and the surprisingly reverent take on the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale."
