GREATEST HITS
Billy Idol
(Capitol/EMI)
The Good: This 16-track set has all the solo Idol you'll ever want or need, from Dancing With Myself and Mony, Mony to Rebel Yell and White Wedding. The Bad: There's nothing from Generation X, the bleach boy's hard-rocking pre-stardom punk outfit. The Ugly: Instead, there's lotsa later dreck like Sweet Sixteen, Cradle of Love and Shock to the System. The Just Plain Weird: A "new recording" of Simple Minds' Don't You (Forget About Me). Well, maybe if you put out a CD this millennium ...
