Alright, now listen...,
This review is from: Duran Duran:Greatest (Audio CD)
Apparently there are lots of reviewers on Amazon saying that they think Duran Duran is bad. And everytime people mention the eighties, there always seem to be someone laughing at how music and fashion were in those days. If you don't like the fashion because the colours are wrong, fine. If you don't like the music because the synthesizers scare you, fine. But if you say you don't like it just because it's old, then YOU are the problem!I'll let you think just what you want about the 80's as long as you have another reason than "it's too old". If you lived at the time and you think it wasn't good, then you have every right to think so. Or if the music just isn't your kind, then everybody must respect that. But if the only actual reason for you not liking it, is that it happens to have been made a couple of years, decades or even centuries ago, then you simply have no taste. Maybe you're just trying to be popular by following the modern fads, is that it? Well if you like what's on MTV right now, you can start telling yourself that you don't know anything about music in itself, becuase that's a fact. I was born in 1987, so I don't remember much of the 80's at all. Most of my friends find 80's stuff too strange for them. But I like it. I didn't grow up during the 80's, my parents don't listen to 80's music. Actually, there's no particular reason for me liking the 80's, but I do! And I also like the 60's and 70's. I'm a teenager of the 21st century, and I like what I missed. Ironic like hell, but the 80's is one of many tastes of music and style, and that is more than you're ever going to have if you keep disliking stuff that isn't new. I see that one of you advice us to buy AudioSlave's new album instead. Will you like that album by 2008? So listen you taste-less non-polite whoever-you-are, if you don't like the music you bought this year at the day you grow old, I'll be glad to laugh at you for all the huge ammounts of money you wasted on albums you can't seem to like more than as long as it's being advertised. Just leave music and put your money on something that you understand. Duran Duran is almost just what I like when it comes to music and style. So my personal opinion will be 4 stars out of 5.

Greatest, Nuff Said.,
This review is from: Duran Duran:Greatest (Audio CD)
Say what you like about Duran Duran but they were among the best and most influentual bands of the 80's. They started as a new romantic band in the late 70's dressing with fancy clothes and using makeup, hit the chart in 1981 at the same time as a certain channel called MTV which gave the unlimited airplay and was a big help that they reached such a big audience. Duran Duran's video's was very exlusive and well made so it was obvious they got attention. However, they were a very gifted synth band that made lots of great pop songs, with smart lyrics.Simon LeBon Nick Rhoades and the Taylors from Duran Duran self titled debut album gave them the hit singles "Planet Earth". "Girls on Film" witn a very special video and "Is There Something I Should Know?" All were strong meliodic catchy trademark Duran Duran singles. The second album "Rio" was released shortly after, the title song become a big hit in 1982. It's a classic by now. It starts with heavy percussion, and a unique guitar sound and synths. LeBon's charismatic lyrics are strong and very memorable. 2 other songs from the "Rio" album become big hits too, the midtempo "Save a Prayer" that sound a bit like a videogame when it starts with it's synth sound. "Hungry Like the Wolf" is a true classic, a pop song with remarkable lyrics and sound. "Seven and The Ragged Tiger" Came in 1983 and it also had 3 hits "New Moon on Monday" which is a typical Duran song "Union of the Snake" a very charismatic pop song too, but "The Reflex" however was the biggest hit, and one of their biggest aswell. A catchy pop song that stands out. On "Arena" only one new single came out "Wild Boys" a song with synths and percussion, and catchy sound. On the upcoming album "Notorious" the title become a hit, there were other singles on the album but didn't work out. Duran Duran also made the title track for a Bond Film. " A View to a kill" a midtempo song with catchy sound and good lyrics. After that it was quite silent, some members tried solo project and eventually left. "Liberty" from 1990 has no songs on this album but it wasn't a big success. 3 years later they unpredicted got a big hit with "Ordinary World" a power ballad. The rest of the songs on this album are quite forgettable, like "Come Undone" and "Electric Barbarella" for axample. But this is the best of Duran Duran, and the album is more or less complete. If you liked the New Romantics area with bands like Spandau Ballet, ABC and Duran Duran you'll defenitely enjoy this album. It includes many pop classics.
