Title: "A Comprehensive Collection"
Review: Greatest hit collections are a dime a dozen these days and some of them aren't as complete as we'd like them to be. However Billy Idols Greatest Hits is a comprehensive collection of songs spanning his career. From his Gen X days to the ill fated Cyberpunk album this is a fairly definitive collection of Idol's material."Eyes Without A Face" and "Catch My Fall" are easily some of Billy's most creative and beautiful songs."Cradle Of Love" over time, has not lost it's luster or charm.I especially liked the live acoustic version of "Rebel Yell" and even moreso Keith Forsey's: "Don't You Forget About Me" (as I understand it Keith Forsey actually wrote this song for Billy to perform back in the 80's before it was offered up to Simple Minds).I felt the Idol/Stevens team rocked Forsey's song out in great style and form. It was a perfect ending to Idol's Greatest Hits, and this CD is worth buying just for that one song alone.Two thumbs up for this collection of songs.
