If you have been waiting for the definitive Billy Idol Greatest Hits package, you are in luck this disc has them all plus a few nice bonuses for those who liked the singles but never bothered to buy the full-length albums. You get Rebel Yell, Dancing with Myself, Eyes Without a Face, Catch My Fall, White Wedding and Cradle of Love. Sadly, one of the best tracks from the Rebel Yell album, "Blue Highway", is missing. Then again, it wasn't a major hit like the other tracks featured from that disc. Also included: Billy's cover of The Doors "L.A. Women" and a great remake of the Simple Minds hit "Don't You (forget about me)." 

This is a worthy addition to any CD library but if you like Billy's music you might be better off buying the full length CD's as his best music wasn't always his hits.
