Nobody talks to Billy Idol that way!

Yes, we're straying well in to Wedding Singer territory (and I like that - it's one of my all-time fave movies!) This guy just rocks the casbah. Really good, clean production, poppy (not that there's anything wrong with that) deceptively simple sounding songs, and gutsy vocals that light up a VU meter like the best of them. And you just know that he'll be one of those gems that grows old ungracefully. Onya chap!

Oh and this pick has absolutely nothing to with the lads at work calling me Billy when I come to work after having the living crap bleached out of my hair. I prefer Spike comparisons myself, but it's a little warm for a leather overcoat I guess...
