This greatest-hits collection documents the band's ambitious beginnings as a funky glam-rock outfit and follows its gradual transformation into a high-tech pop band with loads of commercial appeal. --Mitch Myers . While English pop monarchs Duran Duran have remained active for two decades, it's clear that the indomitable ensemble was at its peak during those mercurial '80s. Although the young quintet that performs "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "A View to a Kill" has little in common with the posh, aging trio featured on 1997's "Electric Barbarella," vocalist Simon Le Bon provides some impressive continuity to these proceedings. Featuring now-classic tunes like "Girls on Film," "Rio," and "Planet Earth" as well as more recent songs like "Ordinary World," Greatest focuses on Duran Duran's u... see description |

This CD has to be owned by every 311 fan for two reasons. Track number 16. How Do You Feel? and number 17. First Straw. These two songs are only available on this CD. The price was low enough for me so I totally had to have it. The two songs are totally worth it and it's a great mix to pop in when you just want to hear some good summer tunes. I've been a 311 fan since Music came out in the early 90's, seen them in concert a few times. All in al this is a pretty good collection of 311's work.

If you are looking for a collection with a particular feel you might want to single out one of thier albums. However, if you're looking for a hits collection with a broad range of 311... see description |
