Customer Reviews:

Was a good song writer.......2006-08-19

He was never a respected artist but, in hindsight, he was a very gifted songwriter. 20 years later, his songs still sound good and not antiquated. I think Billy Squire was an overlooked artist that never got his due. He would be a great act on the oldies circuit

What's up with THIS?.......2005-09-30

How can you possibly have a Billy Squier Greatest Hits album and NOT include Lonely is the Night? Who produced this record? Did they ever listen to Billy Squier? I refuse to buy this "greatest hits" album because of such an idiotic omission.

late 80's crusin Rock and Roll.........2004-06-11

billy had his moments back in his glory days. i've great memories of some his stuff.it sounds a little dated like most 80s music does but when played every blue moon it's not bad.now adays it's when i play it it's fun to just sit back and remember. ahhhhhh those were the days. caireen where are you.

Budget-priced Squier compilation.......2003-05-09

One of the greatest rock stars of the 1980s is, without question, Billy Squier. While many musicians were experimenting with different styles of rock and roll, he gave us straight-up rock with none of that experimentation. Like many other musicians of many genres, a budget-priced compilation in the Ten Best series was released for Squier. How does it measure up? Read on and find out.

If you're looking for Squier's biggest radio hits, you'll find most of them here. In The Dark, The Stroke, My Kinda Lover, and Everybody Wants You are all here. Unfortunately, this compilation omits a key track: Lonely Is The Night. Ironically, the non-budget-priced Squier compilation, Sixteen Strokes, omits the same track, despite the fact that it was one of his biggest hits! There are also several lesser-known hits here for your listening pleasure, though.

Final verdict? Budget-priced compilations are usually worthless pieces of ... , but this one actually isn't too bad. If you buy this and the Don't Say No studio album, you'll have all of Squier's big hits. Still, if you're going to get a Squier hits compilation, I recommend getting Sixteen Strokes, unless you're poor and this is all you can afford.

great material, but not enough variety.......2001-08-24

the best compilation would be from earlier works (eg 'Piper' or 'Tales From....') and then albums after 1989's Hear and Now. It's a good collection to keep in the CD changer of your car - excellent driving music!!!
