Billy Idols Idolize Yourself: The Very Best of Billy Idol serves as a career-spanning compilation, drawing from his early solo work through his later releases. Issued in 2008, it also introduces two new recordings, placing his catalog in the context of his roots in punk and his transition into polished, radio-ready rock.

Signature tracks like White Wedding, Part 1 and Rebel Yell capture his breakthrough MTV-era sound, while Eyes Without a Face shows a more restrained, melodic side of his songwriting. Elsewhere, Dancing With Myself traces back to his Generation X days, and Cradle of Love reflects his late-80s resurgence. This CD edition compiles these recordings alongside a pair of then-new tracks.
