Eyes Without A Face

Hot In The City

Eyes Without A Face

White Wedding

It was a toss up between "Catch My Fall" and "Eyes Without A Face" so I gave the first vote of the poll to "Catch My Fall" 8)

I quite like all of these, but my favourite has always been 'Eyes Without A Face'

I picked "Eyes Without A Face" followed by "Rock The Cradle Of Love"....man, the girl in that video was cute!


I second every word of this post.

Danicing With Myself, but Eyes Without a Face is a close second.  Isn't Dancing With Myself in Can't Buy Me Love?

DANCING WITH MYSELF
Billy claims it really is about a guy, at home, by himself, dancing to his own records, and NOT what everybody thinks it's about!
They said the same thing about Was Not Was' Walk the Dinosaur. :-X

This was really hard, I like all his stuff, but I chose Dancing With Myself.

Also, She Bop and Turning JApanese

This is hard, as Billy has done so many great songs!  I went with "Rebel Yell", followed by "Eyes Without A Face".  :)

Billy Idol F***in Rocks! I chose Eyes Without A Face but I love White Wedding and Rebel Yell , heck I love them all. He can't go wrong in my eyes :)


SmithsGirl

Cradle of Love, even though it came out in 91

Tanya

Flesh For Fanstasy

I am a big Steve Stevens fan so that makes me know quite a few Idol songs. But my fav would probably be "Blue Highway", "Man For All Seasons", or "Don't Need A Gun". "Rebel Yell" isn't bad either.

8) White Wedding...Then Rebel Yell

Cradle of Love. Funny video.

Cradle Of Love

I like more then one.

White Wedding

Amen, brother!  I'll bet that girl really could rock the cradle of love!

All of his music is AWESOME!!  But my pick is 'To be a lover'.

'Dancing With Myself' was a popular video hit, but did you know it never charted as a single in the US Hot 100 or the UK Top 75?  It did reach the Canadian Top 40, which makes it somewhat confusing how we got it, but other markets didn't?

Here's Billy's full singles chartography for the UK and North America ...

The original release of "Dancing with Myself" (credited to Generation X) was a UK hit in 1980 ('81?) but I'm too lazy to look up the peak at the moment.

The '83 re-release (which is still the Generation X version but now credited only to Idol) made the Bubbling Under chart in the US, but ditto the laziness.

probably the 2 most popular songs played at our wedding reception in 1984 were Billie Jean and Dancing With Myself, everybody had a good champagne buzz going and were dancing to Dancing With Myself, it was fun.  That's an excellent song to use if you wanna dance by yourself .

My favorite video of Billy Idol's is Cradle of Love  I love that song and the chick in the video is so hot and the nerdy neighbor is so geeked out, but he's funny and did I say the girl that dances in his house is hot?

I always thought Billy re-recorded it when he went solo.  With Gen X, it reached UK #60 in 1980

I didn't think so but I've been wrong before.

Billy on the Bubbling Under chart:

1981 - studio version of "Mony Mony" - #7
1982 - "White Wedding" - #8 (re-release of same version is the one that made the top 40)
1983 - "Dancing with Myself" - #2
1993 - "Shock to the System" - #5

The other non-charters made appearances on the Album Rock chart:
1990 - "Prodigal Blues" - #35
1993 - "Shock to the System" - #7
1994 - "Speed" - #38
2005 - "Scream" - #26


Oh, and re: the poll, I chose "Catch My Fall" but it really could be that or "Dancing with Myself." I love them both. Really, Idol was/is pretty awesome.

Billy had so many great songs, it's hard to chose a favorite, but my vote ultimately went to "Catch My Fall"... great song and the video is cool as well, with Bad Boy Billy at his baddest best!  ;D
