Billy Idol has the dubious honor of having a youth culture named after his former band, Generation X, the British musician's work as a solo artist gave him mass acceptance. His solo impacted the charts, but Generation X's punk music helped shape a genre. "Dancing With Myself" launched Idol's solo career, when he included a club remix of the song on his 1981 Don't Stop EP, which also featured a cover of the Tommy James & The Shondells' "Mony Mony." In 1982, living in New York and working with guitarist Steve Stevens, Idol released his self-titled debut album, which featured the top 40 hits "Hot In The City" and "White Wedding" the latter's video marked Idol's emergence as an MTV star, making his signature snarl and blonde spikes fantasy pin-up fodder for teenage females.
