Now that we're more than two decades into the era in which pop artists' music videos are at least as important as the music itself (if not more so), it's easy to forget just how innovative and interesting the videos turned out by Eurythmics throughout the '80s were--at least until you take this 21-song anthology for a spin. From 1982's "Love Is a Stranger" through 1989's "Angel," Eurythmics Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, working with a variety of producers and directors (sometimes including Stewart himself), turned out a remarkable array of clips. Often enigmatic, usually arty, sometimes rather cold and humorless (if not unamusing), they are never less than thoughtful and provocative, with an extraordinary range of ideas and techniques. Those same adjectives apply to Lennox, who's not only a sultry, soulful vocalist but a fascinatingly chameleonic visual presence. She assumes dozens of different personas, from red-haired androgyne to Monroe-esque vamp, from mousy homemaker to leather-clad dominatrix and beyond (she and Stewart both play some 15 or more different roles in "The King & Queen of America" alone), and is rarely less than riveting. It also doesn't hurt that the visuals accompany some outstanding songs and performances, like "Sweet Dreams," "Here Comes the Rain," "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" (with Aretha Franklin), "Who's That Girl?", "Missionary Man," "Miracle of Love," "Would I Lie to You?", and many more. And while the synth-pop style of the earlier recordings sounds a bit dated these days, the videos have lost none of their appeal. Put simply, Eurythmics: Greatest Hits is a treat. --Sam Graham

 an interesting retrospective August 3, 2008
F. G. Macleod
I was impressed with the selection from this uniquely talented duo. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart exude an intelligence, sadly lacking in today's musical performers.
The songs are sometimes political, Sex Crime (1984), sometimes playfully satirical, The King and Queen of America, and sometimes softly lyrical, Miracle of Love.
Annie Lennox's acting ability is beautifully showcased, particularly in Beethoven (I Love to Listen to). As is her, sometimes disturbing, androgyny.
I would recommend this collection, rather than the later compilation of their work. A good buy!
 It's just ok! May 29, 2007

False advertisement, there is no 5.1 Dolby surround sound in this DVD,there is no bonus menu, no Subtitles or close caption , no lyrics, It has the best songs but also some others less known and kind of boring.

One of the best (next to Orbison Black and White Night) stirring music and a hot Annie Lennox, what's lacking - nothing
The DVD that burns itself! August 27, 2004

Includes "Sweet Dreams", "Who's That Girl?", "Love is a Stranger", "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Right By Your Side", "It's Alright, Baby's Coming Back", "Sexcrime 1984", "Missionary Man", "Would I Lie To You?", "There Must Be an Angel" & many other great, great hits.
VERY recommended!

There are a handful of gems in this collection of videos that span the years of 1982-1989, with the talents of the great Annie Lennox, and producer/instrumentalist Dave Stewart.
All songs are credited to Lennox/Stewart, except for "When Tomorrow Comes", which is Lennox/Stewart/Seymour. Total running time is 1 hour and 35 minutes.
Even in the songs that are rather mediocre, Lennox is a fascinating performer to watch; with her androgynous beauty, a strange angular grace, and her diva's aura.
The song list is:
1: "Sweet Dreams". The first big hit, with a wonderful melody that keeps playing in your head, long after the song has ended.
2: "Love is a Stranger"
3: "Who's that Girl ?"
4: "Right by Your Side"
5: "Here Comes the Rain Again"
6: "Sex Crime (1984)"
7: "Julia". With chant-like simplicity, this focuses on closeups of Lennox's face. it's a marvelous song, and a stylish video.
8: "Would I Lie to You ?". Jazzy and brassy, this one is fun.
9: "There Must be an Angel". This is probably the one I find the least interesting.
10: "Sisters are Doin' it for Themselves". A superb duet with Aretha Franklin. Two terrific voices making a perfect blend, and they both look knock-out good. I think this is the best video of the lot.
11: "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)"
12: "When Tomorrow Comes"
13: "Thorn in My Side"
14: "Miracle of Love"
15: "Missionary Man"
16: "Beethoven (I Love to Listen to)"
17: "I Need a Man"
18: "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart"
19: "Don't Ask Me Why"
20: "The King and Queen of America"
21: "Angel".
