5 out of 5 stars Buy this Squier   February 2, 2008

Even though I live in England I had to order this CD from those lovely folks at Amazon.com as Billy is not exactly a household name over here. In actual fact if I wasn't a massive Queen fan I wouldn't know him either as none of his classy rock songs are played on the radio over here. As the liner notes to the CD state Billy Squier not only toured with Queen but recorded with Freddie Mercury too. On the brilliant Love Is The Hero Freddie's distinctive background vocals lend support to the song perfectly.

Remastered in 2005, all the songs sound great and every one is a winner on this compilation. Although having two live songs added on to the end of an album can sometimes not merge well with the rest of the record, in this case they work well. Both well chosen songs as they are two of Billy's biggest Billboard hits. All an artist like Billy Squier needs is for one of his songs to appear in summer movie blockbuster and he'll be re-discovered by a new generation. Until then though I'd advise anyone reading this to buy this excellent compilation.

This compilation, while maybe not really comprehensive is still very good, all the good songs of Billy Squier are here and the sound is great. I'm quite pleased with it. I feel that Billy Squier has been underrated, he certainly deserved more credit, among the hard rock of the 80's. This disc brought back so many memories and I really like it. Recommended to anyone who likes Billy Squier.

No problem with a five-star rating. This selection is "cream of the crop" blending in most of Mr. Squier's top hits along with two live tracks which I found sensational. This release pulls together everything a Squier fan could want. Not a boring moment of rock 'n roll here. A nice compilation. Happy listening!!!


5 out of 5 stars Absolute Hits - The best greatest hits album for Billy Squier, by far!!   December 30, 2005

I've looked at all of Billy Squier's greatest hits albums and I find this one to be the best out of all of them. I know that their are quite a few of them, but this one is more widely available and has ALL of the great hits that you hear on the radio. I've looked around for his greatest hits albums and this one is the only one I've ever found. And it also has every song that you need from Billy Squier. A+ album!!!
