There really are a few great songs on this cd. Virtually everyone must remember the song "Cradle of Love". Well, perhaps they do not remember the song but virtually every bloke I have ever spoken to remembers the video! There are, however, a few other good songs on this release, including "Prodigal Blues" and "The Loveless". Some of the songs are quite mellow - think "Eyes Without a Face" and these are the ones that I like the most. Although, even for me "Cradle of Love" is by far the most memorable. The entire cd is not wonderful but there are certainly some good numbers.

BILLY'S BEST
3 May 2005
Format:Audio CD
"Charmed Life" was recorded during a bad motorcycle accident that Billy had, hence as I recall, the title.
By 1990, Billy Idol had matured into a rock artist and this album is miles away from the youth appeal of "Rebel Yell." It shows the former Gen-X punk wanting to grow his music and it works.
From a kickass version of "The Right Way" and "Prodigal Blues" (the originals) to "LA Woman" to "Endless Sleep" (the covers) - this album is well produced, well-written and will grow on you. There really isn't a bad track on this.
Steve Stevens had left the fold to pursue a solo career at this stage and Mark Younger Smith shows his guitar chops. The change of style is refreshing.
As a songwriter, Billy peaked with this one. I didn't much get into "Heroin" - his next album. This and "Rebel Yell" remain indispensable parts of Billy's collection so get it if you can.

Great CD from Billy Idol. If you are a Billy Idol fan, then this is definitely a title that you will want to add to your collection. This CD has all the heart and snarls of the previous CDs. Great job Billy! Keep on rockin'!

Billy Idol Rules!
11 Jun 2002
Format:Audio CD
I love this CD! I bought it for "LA Woman" and "Cradle of Love", and I absolutely love all the songs. "Pumping on Steel" is a total rocker and I think that it should have been a hit. "The Loveless" is also rockin'. A message to all Billy Idol fans that don't have this recording - buy it today!
