Archive Artist of the Month Section from 2001/2002
Billy Idol is known for his spiky blonde
hair, his gorgeous blue eyes, and his devilish sneer. Billy
Idol burst onto the American music scene in the early 80's with
the hit songs "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell",
and "Eyes Without a Face". Billy Idol was one of the
first artist played in heavy rotation on MTV in the early 80's.
It was hard to box Billy's musical style into one category.
Some say he was punk, other say he was rock, a few have even
categorized him as metal. Billy had a unique sense of appeal.
He was able to cross over to mainstream top 40 radio, and stay
true to his musical style. He also was a favorite with the ladies.

In the late 80's Billy experienced his
first U.S. number one single with his remake of the song "Mony,
Mony." In 1990, Billy was prepared to unleash his album
"Charmed Life" when he was involved in a near fatal
motorcycle crash in Los Angeles.
The "Charmed Life" album went onto be a success, much
in part due to the success of the single, "Cradle of Love",
which became another top ten single for Billy. Against doctors
orders Billy toured to support the album.
