ICON - IDOL,BILLY

Universal's 2013 budget-line collection rounds up 11 big hits from Billy Idol, including Generation X's version of "Dancing with Myself." This means his solo hit version is absent, as are a few other notable singles but what is here -- including "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell," "Eyes Without a Face," "Flesh for Fantasy," "To Be a Lover" and "Mony Mony" -- are songs that are among his best and best-known, so this functions as a good sampler and introduction. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
