 ... in me. His voice is very lonely and deep and he brings a lot of passion to this song, although not in a frenzied rock way, but in a really simple and caring way. The instruments in the background are quite minimal and it is easy to focus solely on his voice. Two of the faster tracks that I enjoy are Mony Mony and Rebel Yell and both of these are ones that you have to get involved with, even if it is only the chorus. They are quite "crazily" sung in my opinion with his voice going a little haywire inte...more

Premium Review Greatest Hits - Billy Idol: Greatest Hits for my time. (456 words)

Billy Idol was the first person I ever so live in concert at Wembley Arena way back in about 1992 I think. I have Idolized him ever since and actually really enjoy his songs even though he is on the more outer edges of my type of style of music. This album brings together 16 of his songs that totally mean Billy Idol to me. They are all songs that he produced around the time I was really into him and therefore it's not only a blast from the past when you listen to this but also a remembered love and enjoyment of his music. My favourite track on this album is Sweet Sixteen. I can visualize the video when he sings this and it really stirs up emotion in ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A mix of Idol (1069 words)

Pop punk may now be a genre of over-heated political naff-ness to be honest, but back in the 80's it was a different story. One of the members of the pop punk movement of the 80's (and early 90's) was Billy Idol. In 2001 this album was put together before his return. The disk contains most of his classics such as "Sweet Sixteen", "White wedding" and "Rebel yell". Now an indivual break down song by song. 1. Dancing With Myself 2. Mony Mony 3. Hot In The City 4. White Wedding (Part 1) 5. Rebel Yell 6. Eyes Without A Face 7. Flesh For Fantasy 8. Catch My Fall 9. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Greatest Hits - Billy Idol: Idol Worship (2229 words)

Rating:

For some reason, pop-punk, or power pop, seems to be pretty big at the moment. Although they’ve just split, Blink 182 really brought the genre back into the mainstream in recent years, allowing bands like Green Day, who had been carrying along quietly in the background to hit centre stage again themselves. Indeed, with Blink 182 now gone, it seems that it will be Green Day who will carry the pop-punk banner, as their latest album, “American Idiot” is gaining great reviews. There are a few young pretenders in the wings as well, with both Sum 41 and Good Charlotte having made it big with power pop records in recent years, although whether they will have the ...  Read the complete review

Very Listenable Some tracks sound similar

wildly eclectic terrible lyricspatchy vocals

Nostalgic voice not as good as it was

This is hobo music. Acoustic with bottlenecks and harmonicas aplenty If you're wanting buzz saw guitars and heavy grungy tunes to naval gaze to, forget it.

When the band hit form they are fantastic This serves to highlight they didn't hit form that often

Goth - 1989
