Eurythmics - Greatest Hits

Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart had already failed once as a band when they reinvented themselves as a duo with a drum machine and a borrowed studio. What followed was one of the great runs of eighties pop, and this collection gathers it all in one place.

The range is remarkable. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "Love Is a Stranger" are icy synthpop classics, "Here Comes the Rain Again" adds sweeping strings, and "Would I Lie to You?" and "Missionary Man" swap the synths for full-throttle rock and soul. "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" features a harmonica solo from Stevie Wonder, while "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" pairs Lennox with Aretha Franklin for a feminist anthem that still lands. Through it all, Lennox's voice is the constant, cool one moment and volcanic the next.

First released in 1991, Greatest Hits topped the UK albums chart and became one of the best-selling compilations of its era, the perfect entry point to a catalog that shaped synthpop and pop-rock alike.

Eighteen songs across two 180-gram LPs. Every hit you need, in one sleeve.
