Generation X

This was the flashy guys from the Punk area, Generation X had the more pop-sounding snaps on their songs and they had the Sexiest frontman of all the Punk Groups... the one we've learned to love as Billy Idol!!
Gen X fell apart in 1981 when Billy moved to New York to do his own solo thing, but one of the biggest artists and sex-symbols of the 80's still had a lot of punk in his songs even tho they all had 80's style primarily!!
Anyone else see the resemblanse between this young Billy and David Bowie ???



As a matter of fact, one of Billy's biggest solo hits and his very first, was actually written with Gen x bass player Tony James but was never released as a Gen X song, it became Billy Idols first singel instead... and Billy and the lads sure did Dance an awful lot with themselves...
