Mixing a snarling punk attitude with dance-rock hooks, Billy Idol is an icon of '80s pop, an early MTV star who overcame personal demons and enjoyed an extensive career. Having already established himself in the late-'70s London punk scene as the frontman for Generation X, Idol was primed for pop stardom, quickly nabbing chart success with hugely influential early-'80s singles like "Dancing with Myself" and "White Wedding," his first of many with longtime collaborator guitarist Steve Stevens. Yet, it was 1982's Rebel Yell that codified his status as a punk-pop star, spawning a string of hits including the club-ready title track "Eyes Without a Face" and "Flesh for Fantasy." Despite changing times, he proved resilient, hitting the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 with both 1986's Whiplash Smile and 1990's Charmed Life, the latter of which featured the number two Hot 100 hit "Cradle of Love." Hard living and a near-fatal motorcycle accident kept Idol out of the spotlight for the latter half of the '90s, but he staged a comeback, making a cameo as himself in the '80s pop music-inspired Adam Sandler comedy The Wedding Singer and releasing well-received efforts like 2005's Devil's Playground, 2014's Kings & Queens of the Underground, and 2025's Dream Into It, albums that underscored his legacy as a seminal pop-punk legend.
