BILLY SQUIER – Icon [Greatest Hits] (2013)

*

As part of their ‘Icon’ series, Capitol / Universal is releasing a very nice BILLY SQUIER compilation / greatest hits, including all the songs you really want to hear – not unnecessary fillers, at a very cheap price (only 5.99) to treasure it on CD.
Taken from the original tapes remastered not so long ago the sound quality is very good, and while the packaging leaves a lot to be desired as it only consists of a fold-out paper insert with credits and the tracklisting, the important thing is that you can get a well pressed, original disc for a few bucks.

You really can’t go wrong with this CD if you like the Capitol years of Billy Squier when he saw his biggest success.
In 1981, when MTV was mastering the business of putting a face on music fame, Billy Squier was just the image they had in mind. When the video for “The Stroke” went into heavy rotation, the party anthem rocketed to No. 3 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, launching Squier’s solo career.

All of Billy Squier’s big hits including “The Stroke”, “Lonely Is The Night”, “My Kinda Lover”, “Rock Me Tonite”, “Don’t Say You Love Me” and “Emotions In Motion” are featured here in a cool track sequencing.
This compilation takes you back to the ’80s when solid rock was King and made you feel good.
Easily Recommended.
