Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face (Chrysalis)

I used to think Mr. Idol was a complete twit until his Rebel Yell LP came out last year and I fell for its blend of disco, rock 'n' roll and daft horror-movie imagery. This song is my favourite on the LP and it's warmer, more atmospheric, and more melodic than any of the blond bombshell's previous singles. Although he doesn't have a great voice and the words are utter drivel, somehow he sounds affectingly sincere. Single Of The Fortnight. (Neil Tennant, Smash Hits, June 7, 1984)

Note: I can totally hear Pet Shop Boys covering this song, actually.
