Duran Duran

"Greatest"

(Capitol)

-Chris Kelly

If any band could possibly sum up an entire decade of music in about an hour, that band is Duran Duran.

With classic titles like "Rio," "Hungry Like The Wolf," "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone," "Greatest" symbolizes their entire sparkling career, blow by blow.

Their career, which has existed since 1981, is quite remarkable: the band has sold over 60 million records worldwide.

"I'm pleased the greatest hits is coming out now," says Simon LeBon, lead vocalist. "The simple fact is we've got a repertoire that starts off in 1981 and carries on right up to now."

This summary of their glamourous career will evoke memories from longtime listeners and allure those who missed the era that belonged to Duran Duran.
