Greatest Hits is a compilation of Billy Idol's most popular
singles, released by Capitol Records in 2001. The album includes
two previously-unreleased tracks: a live recording of one of his
most popular songs, "Rebel Yell", plus a new version of Idol's
longtime producer Keith Forsey's "Don't You (Forget About Me)".
Although Forsey originally wrote the song with Idol in mind, Idol
turned it down and eventually the song was given to Simple Minds
who would go on to make it a worldwide hit in 1985. Greatest Hits
was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2005.

If you enjoyed Billy Idol in the 80`s you probably bought vinyl or tapes, with this Best of album it has all remasterd tracks for excellent quality sound, Billy sounds great now as he did in the 80`s. A great buy if you enjoyed his alternative rock music, with an additinal new track "Don`t you forget about me".
