Which Billy do you prefer?

Both were popular and successful in the 80s.

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.

Rebel yell
White wedding
Eyes without a face
Flesh for fantasy
Sweet sixteen

I like him, but Squier has nothing close

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.

Billy Idol, cuz it's the closest thing to a Vince Neil solo album!

This one was close........I have one "greatest hits" CD from each,.......Squire is more consistent, but Idol has some real standouts.
Idol>Squire "by a (pubic) hair".....

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.

Squier rules, but Idol is king.
