Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style, and fury of punk rock. His lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV's first megastars. Idol created a pioneering new sound by bringing the spirit of '77 to the dance floor, going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation, and rock'n'roll decadence. Available on vinyl for the first time, 2008's Idolize Yourself: The Very Best Of collects 16 of Idol's signature hits like "White Wedding," "Hot In The City," "Rebel Yell," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh for Fantasy," "Catch My Fall," "To be A Lover," "Mony Mony" and "Cradle of Love" plus the two then previously unreleased numbers John Wayne" and "New Future Weapon."
