Billy Idol- Greatest Hits CD They arrived in very good time, faster than the time indicated in my confirmation email. I was very happy to be able to find not one, but TWO copies of this CD, both in excellent condition. This was a very satisfying purchase and transaction. Kudos. (Oh, and the CD is awesome too!!!).
Great CD with no hassles
Excellent experience!. I really like this CD and had no problem in getting it from the seller.
For Idol Idolisers
Billy Idol released some great rock songs over the years, and this has them all.
Awesome!
I got this because it has most of his best songs- although I am not crazy about Shock to the System. I grew up in the 80's listening to Billy on my mom's record player and now am still listening to him on my MP3. I also don't understand why some of his other soulful works are not included on any "greatest hits" albums. I would have liked for "Prodigal Blues" and "The Loveless"(Charmed Life) and "Worlds Forgotten Boy" (Whiplash Smile) to have been included here. Even so, it remains a must have for any Idol fan. Other great Billy albums are Charmed Life and Whiplash Smile as well as his latest, Devils Playground. Idolize Yourself (another hits compilation) will be released later this month with 2 new songs. Billy Idol remains "the man" of punk and rock. He is still rocking in his 50's and gorgeous as ever. I would highly recommend this CD. One word of caution: the live version of Rebel Yell does contain some audible expletives, not to be played in front of children. I'm glad my 5 year old wasn't in the room when I first heard it. .
Blast from the past
"Rebel Yell"
always a favorite! The only down side I've never been a favorite of live
recordings on CD's tapes etc. Good songs like you remember them if you are an Idol fan. They always sound bad. I'm paying to hear
good quality music. The live recording is what you expect. Can't carry a
tune in a bucket haha other than that the rest of the songs are good. -1
for the live recording.
