Generation X burst onto the scene at the same time as the other British punk bands of the time, the Clash, the Sex Pistols, the Dammed. And while they enjoyed some moderate success in their homeland, Generation X would become better-known as the launching pad for their singer, Billy Idol, who would go on to achieve great commercial success come the 1980's. Originally formed in 1976 and was comprised of guitarist Bob Andrews, bassist Tony James, drummer Mark Laff, and fronted by Idol. The group eventually signed with Chrysalis Records, resulting in a self-titled debut album in 1978.
