Re: Billy Idol vs. Billy Squier
Great poll, and closer than it appears... but I give it to Squier by a pink tank top for better tunes. Without the videos, Idol just doesn't hold up.

Re: Billy Idol vs. Billy Squier
Squier had some good tunes like "The Stroke", "Rock Me Tonite", "Lonely Is the Night", "My Kinda Lover", "In the Dark", "Everybody Wants You", etc., but Idol wins by a hair thanks to "Rebel Yell", "Hot in the City", and "Eyes Without a Face". That's a near perfect threesome there.

Re: Billy Idol vs. Billy Squier
This one was close........I have one "greatest hits" CD from each,.......Squire is more consistent, but Idol has some real standouts.

Re: Billy Idol vs. Billy Squier
Squier is one of my top artist ever, so I voted for him.
But there is no doubt, he doesn't come close to the hits that Idol had

I respect both Billys. I listen to Squier way more than Idol.

I respect all musical Billys. Not eyelash tho.
