Although
it was ultimately an unsatisfying album, failing to live up to the
promise of its fabulous single, "To Be a Lover," Whiplash Smile still
burned clean with an immediately recognizable 1980s energy. Like Billy
Idol himself, who affected the punk archetype but cut it with a
two-dimensional, cartoonish plasticity perfect for the decade, Whiplash
Smile expands on the sound of the 1983 breakthrough Rebel Yell while
cleverly leaving its key elements unchanged. Idol's

It
was a long time coming but Naked Thunder was the first really decent
solo album that Gillan released. To the casual listener there may appear
to be little noticeable difference, but there have been subtle changes
introduced which, alongside some excellent material, has rejuvenated the
old stager. Depending less upon the synthetic power of the
instrumentation and more on the natural power of Gillan's voice, Na

The
Georgia-based pop-metal band Jackyl defied trends in popular music by
forming in 1990, just as alternative music was breaking into the
mainstream. Unlike most '80s hair metal bands, the group expanded their
following even after their sound became unfashionable. Jackyl's
eponymous 1992 debut, which featured hard rock hits like "The
Lumberjack," "I Stand Alone" and "Down on Me," sold over a million
copies, while their 1994 follow-up Push Comes to Shove, though not as

Gillan
signed to Virgin Records and scored a British singles chart entry with
"Sleeping on the Job" in June 1980, followed by Glory Road, which peaked
in the Top Five and charted briefly in the U.S. (Ian Gillan's albums
got little or no distribution in America; in 1990, Metal Blade reissued
his catalog.) Thus established, Gillan scored a series of Top 40 singles
and Top 20 albums in the U.K. over the next two years: "Trouble"
(October 1980); "Mutually Assured Destruction" (Februa

A
"theme" CD from the Finnish band with the biggest "Big Hair" in the
Galaxy. A little obsessive with the tractors and vodka, but I get a Big
Bang out of the rock'n'roll. The Red Army Choir lends its impressive
voices and instruments to unlikely hits "Jupiter Calling", "Space
Tractor", "Ulan Bator Girls" and "L.A. Doga Beach". My favorite tracks
are the plaintive "[Give Me Back My] Leningrad" ("oh no, they've gone
and named my home Saint Petersburg...") and the rollicking "Galin
