Embracing punk with relief and joy at 30 was bad enough! But that Prodigy clip is a classic of its time. And, as all feisty pop should do, it raised hackles at the time: establishment nabobs convinced it would foment teenage arson up and down the land.

Keith is not really the lead singer as such... he's one of the frontmen...dances a bit, kind of raps a bit (shouts...) on only some of the the tracks. Really the band is the quiet one (Howlett) and the others are just to feature in videos, stage shows etc. Just looking at one guy and a computer isn't really enough for Glastonbury etc.<br /><br />I pretty much missed Billy Idol ('White Wedding'? I guess I've heard that once or twice). Wasn't he kind of fake pop-punk after punk? Or am I wrong?<br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-9300920529242386582010-11-11T14:31:54.902+00:002010-11-11T14:31:54.902+00:00Okay, now it's my turn to say I have never eve...Okay, now it's my turn to say I have never even heard of this band. The song in the video is certainly catchy and I'm sure if I had still been doing the club thing in the 90s I would probably have danced to this.I do find the lead singer pretty scary though.<br /><br />Funny, I had the opportunity to see a recent Billy Idol concert on hd tv not long ago and I had to turn it off. He was still dressed exactly the same and took his shirt off (at one time this might have appealed, but his aging body and the buckets of sweat just made me feel ill). Actually, he kept changing his shirts throughout the concert and I got pretty tired of it. Even my fave song of his, "Eyes Without a Face" seemed SO tired, just like him.<br /><br />Will be posting some Canadian pop later, but I've only advanced to the 80s.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
