This is the BMG-manufactured release. It has a different cover than shown.

Better collection than "Greatest"

"The reason I say it's better is that it has the FULL VERSIONS OF THE SONGS INCLUDED, except edits "Hungry Like the Wolf". My friend has "Greatest", and I listened, and was horrified to see that "Rio" is cut long before it really ends. Anyway, this compilation is awesome! From their first song, "Planet Earth", all the way to the so-called "embarassment" "All She Wants Is", this album shows their changes, whether it was through the line-up, or emotion. I'm also happy to say that "A View to a Kill" is included, which I always blast. WORTH BUYING, IF YOU CAN FIND IT!"
Duran Rocks, but I want you to notice something!!

"Duran Duran, was the eighties, the fashion, the attitude, the videos. They are best known for their music from the 1981 to 1985 period with the Original five, Andy, Simon, John, Nick and Roger. This features their biggest commercial hits, the great chessiness of Girls On Film (still my favorite Duran song to this day), the driving Hungry Like the Wolf, the teeny bop favorite Save a Prayer, the funk of The Reflex and the driving A view to a Kill. BUt I Want to say something in my opinion Duran has been BETTER after this period, their albums more thoughtout and better written. Just look at this compilation, 3 of the better songs on Decade are after this period. "Notorious" is a brilliant piece of funk, "I Don't Want your love" can have you dancing all night and "All She Wants Is" has one of the coolest synths I've ever heard. Duran is more than just style. Buy the stuff after 1986, you won't regret it!!"
Utterly Fantastic!

"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 HISTORY

"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.
