Product ReviewsGreatest Hits by Billy Idol (CD, Mar-2001, Capitol)

Billy is Truly an Idol

Despite posing like a bad boy (whether he is or was really one, we don't know for sure), Billy Idol is a good singer and always had good intentions. His collection of tunes is one of the landmarks of the 80s, when music used to be more interesting in general than it is nowadays (with some exceptions, of course).

This 2001 compilation of "Greatest Hits" reunites not necessarily his best, but at least his best known songs. Classics such as "Mony Mony", "Rebel Yell" and "Cradle of Rock", as well as the ballads "Flash for Fantasy", "Eyes Without a Face" and "Sweet Sixteen" are here with 10 other tracks, including a nice Simple Minds cover of "Don't You (Forget About Me)", another classic of that decade.

All tracks are 24-bit digitally remastered for the very delight of every Pop Rock fan of the 80s.Read full review...

Billy, Billy

Billy Idol has an album full of hits. Some of them are his. This is for his fans. However I find the drum machine annoying. Use a real drummer please.

Danceing with Billy Idol

This Cd was worth every penny of the $6.00 I bought it for. I always like rebel yell, white wedding and dancing with myself. Really these songs are what sold the album. The rest is just filler, some live stuff, some remakes. Not bad stuff, just stuff. So in short if you like, Dancing with Myself, Mony Mony, Hot in the city, White Wedding, Rebel Yell, Eyes without a Face, Flesh for Fantasy, Catch my Fall, To be a Lover, Don’t need a Gun, Sweet Sixteen, Cradle of Love, L.A. Woman, Shock to the System, Rebel Yell (live AND acoustic) and Don’t You (forget about me) or are just trying to fill out your collection with some sweet 80’s rock. This maybe the disk for you.Read full review...
