no hassles
I'm new at ordering products online, and a little intimidated. It was very nice to deal with Amazon. This CD would have been nearly impossible to find locally, and I needed one of the songs for my son's 8th grade celebration. I was charged exactly what I was supposed to be, and received it within days. When I put "Don't Stop" in the car player, my son and I were listening to the same music I had listened to on vinyl when I was getting ready to start high school. Everything old is new again.


A big first step...
Take the pop-punk of Generation X, mix in a little eager-to-please pop and some of the trademark sneer, and you have a near-perfect EP. Don't Stop represents Billy's first step on the road to solo superstardom - a little tentative, but with great tunes. Most of the songs emerged from the last efforts of Generation X, with the cover of Mony Mony thrown in for good measure. A must-have, even for casual Idol fans.

More a "Hard-Core Fan Only" CD
The other two songs are enjoyable: "Baby Talk" is extremely catchy despite not being all that great of a song, and "Untouchables" is a cool remake of a song he did with his old band, Generation X. This album only has four songs on it, it being an EP and all, so you're not going to get a lot of bang for your buck, especially when one of the songs is "Dancing With Myself" and another is "Mony Mony" (both of which you can find on more expansive Idol albums). But the only thing that really makes this album worth buying is for the Martha Quinn (one of the original MTV VJs) and Billy Idol interview. Although Idol says a few funny things (including something I don't think I'm allowed to print here), it's still nothing more than a novelty. In other words, this is an enjoyable EP, but don't break the bank buying it.
