Billy Idol
Billy Idol's recording career did such a fast fade in the early '90s that his beleaguered record label Chrysalis (since absorbed by Capitol) didn't even put out a best-of in the U.S. (Idol Songs: 11 of the Best was an interim report issued in Great Britain in 1988.) But the rise of the '80s rock radio format and Idol's own interest in a comeback ...

Rebel Yell

by
Billy Idol
A slick, carefully crafted follow-up to his debut, Rebel Yell was Billy Idol's catchiest, most consistent fusion of synth-driven new wave pop and hard rock guitar pyrotechnics (courtesy of Steve Stevens). The eerie ballad "Eyes Without a Face" gave Idol his first U.S. Top Ten hit, while "Flesh for Fantasy" and the title track became MTV staples. ...

VH1 Storytellers

by
Billy Idol
Billy Idol was still a rock & roll bad boy despite being over the hill by the start of the new millennium. Billy Idol: VH1 Storytellers captures that typical snarl without the bombast and returns to basics. The real rawness behind such classics as "Flesh for Fantasy," "Cradle of Love," and "To Be a Lover" is stripped, and the acoustic mix found on ...

VH1: The Big 80's Arena Rock

by
Various Artists
VH1's Big '80s series continues with this volume of Arena Rock, a style that actually peaked in the late '70s, but certainly endured into the MTV era. Some of these artists -- Genesis, Dire Straits, Billy Idol, or Duran Duran, for example -- qualify more as album rock than arena rock, but quibbles over definition aside, this is a pretty good ...

The British collection The Essential Billy Idol repackages the 1988 collection Idol Songs: 11 of the Best.

The synth-reggae of "Hot in the City" may come as ...

In 2003 comedian Jack Black starred in School of Rock, a comedy about a teacher who takes a pack of upper-crust private-school kids and turns them into a rock band. This idea was loosely inspired by the Paul Green School of Rock Music, whose sole simplistic mission is to teach future generations the fundamentals of rock & roll from the legends ...

Billy Idol
Billy Idol's first hits collection, Idol Songs: 11 of the Best, was released in Europe in 1988, while he was still a commanding presence on the charts. The U.S. didn't see a compilation on Idol until 2001. That collection includes other hits (and misses) which are not on this one, most notably his 1990 smash "Cradle of Love" and its followup, "L.A ...

Standout cuts from Simple Minds, Gang of Four, Killing Joke, and the Stranglers round out some of the collection's more synth-driven tracks while tunes from the Cramps, Public Image Limited, and the Ramones ...

With the glut of '80s compilations on the market it's a wonder there's room for any more of these things. It seems that every imaginable angle has been explored (girl groups, new wave, British, American, Top 40, dance) and yet, they still come. Time/Life-EMI's Sight & Sound: the 80s manages to rise above the fray (if just a little bit) by doing a ...

As far as '80s collections go, Another Lost Decade: The '80s Second British Invasion is pretty interesting. It gathers 14 songs from some of the biggest names on the U.K. scene; only instead of going for the obvious track in most cases they selected a secondary hit. For example instead of picking Duran Duran's "Rio" the producers choose "The ...
