Whiplash Smile is Billy Idol’s third solo album, and (at least until 2005’s highly disappointing Devil’s Playground) the final Idol album to feature both guitarist Steve Stevens and producer Keith Forsey. While not quite up to the level set by the preceding Rebel Yell (what is, really?), it’s still …

Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …

Fresh out of Generation X, Billy Idol certainly hit the ground running with his eponymous solo debut. While I wouldn’t consider it his masterpiece (that would be his follow-up tour de force Rebel Yell), there are still a lot of great songs here which I still enjoy as immensely …
