Thank You is a cover album by Duran Duran released in April 1995, they followed up on 1993's . It did well on the charts (reaching number 19 on Billboard 200), but was received very negatively by critics.

The album has garnered a reputation as one of the worst music releases of all time. Q the ranking magazine's editor was number one on their 2006 list, "The Worst-ever 50's Album!" In 2014, Brian Boyd from The Irish Times says that LP "is accurately known as 'the worst album in the history of recorded music'."

The title cover ("Thank You", originally by Led Zeppelin) originally appeared in edited form (5:06) on the 1994 movie soundtrack With Honors . A shorter edit (4:32) then appears in Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin , a month before the full version was released on this album.

Critical reception

Two singles from the album are covers of Grandmaster Melle Mel's "White Lines (Do not Do not Do It)" and Lou Reed's "Perfect Day". "Lay Lady Lay" is one in Italy and in Brazil.

JD Considine of Rolling Stone says "[S] Some of the ideas played here are stunningly wrong, like the easy-listening arrangements given by" Watching the Detectives "from Elvis Costello or the" Thank You from Zeppelin "" Sounds like a band covering Chris DeBurgh. But it takes a certain crazy genius to recognize Iggy Pop's "Success" as Gary Glitter's song is meant to be or to repeat "911 Is a Joke" so it sounds more like Beck than like Public Enemy. "

"Perfect Day" was the first single from Thank You and was a moderate hit, peaking at number 28 on the UK singles chart. In the US the song almost failed to break the Billboard Hot 100, just reaching as high as # 101 from June 24th to July 8th 1995. The B side of this single is The Velvet Underground's version of the song "Femme Fatale", previously available on in 1993, at Duran Duran's The Wedding Album .

Lou Reed told an electronic press device accompanying the album that the Duran Duran version of "The Perfect Day" was "The best cover ever completed from one of my own songs".
