A hits compilation by the punk-rock poster boy who sang and sneered his way to fame in the '80s! "Eyes Without a Face," "Rebel Yell," "Mony Mony (live)," "White Wedding," "Flesh for Fantasy," "To Be a Lover" and more.
Capitol's 2008 collection Idolize Yourself: The Very Best of Billy Idol is only the second Billy Idol hits album to be released in America, following the first — 2001's Greatest Hits — by just seven years — but otherwise this is built upon the same core 14 hits as Greatest Hits. This means that either compilation would serve the needs of most Idol fans well, but Idolize Yourself gets the edge, as the latter-day songs are just a bit better.
Idolize Yourself spans a total of 18 tracks, adding two OK new songs to the mix (the moody "John Wayne" and the ham-fisted "New Future Weapon").
