What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

BILLY IDOL "whiplash smile" cd,1986.

UK born Idol was originally a founding member of Siouxie & The Banshees...left to form another punk group Generation-X....no success there, so he relocated to New York and started a solo career...
this is his third solo set and the only one i own...
album made the top10 both here,the US and the UK(plus probably other countries also!)
highest charting single in the UK was 'sweet sixteen'(#17), two top 10 hits in the US(dont need a gun, got to be a lover), two here also(to be a lover, sweet sixteen)...
pretty sure i bought this one on the strength of "sweet sixteen"(only track on here i love)...
just been looking back over his discography and from memory i liked a lot of his early singles) so maybe a best of set would have been more appropriate here....
cant recall if i liked this one when i got it or not, but i sure as hell dont like it now!
