One of the most memorable ballads from a decade full of ballads belongs to this new wave, punk rocker. Billy Idol slowed down the RPMs considerably on this one and stepped over the banal adult contemporary radio darlings in the process. “Eyes Without a Face” was a far cry from “White Wedding”, “Dancing with Myself” and “Rebel Yell” for sure. But it didn’t put you to sleep either, revving up with a Billy Idol-inspired guitar solo halfway through the song.

“I spend so much time believing all the lies. To keep the dream alive.”
