Vital Idol
Billy Idol's post-Generation Xyears are well represented on this 1987 hits collection. True, the haunting "Eyes Without a Face" is missing, but this is, after all, a fist-in-the-air party record (check out the cover for proof). Also sad is the fact that "Cradle of Love" hadn't come out yet, but hey, genius takes time. What you do get is the platinum wonder at his rocking best on "Dancing with Myself," "Flesh for Fantasy," "Mony Mony," and a whole lot of "White Wedding," plus enoughSteve Stevensfretwork to have you playing air guitar for millennia to come.--Bill Forman
