Well, I must let my dark side to show up and say I used to like Billy Idol
first couple of albums. IMHO Rebell Yell is a pretty nice 80's album (I even
have it on CD!!!).

Regarding the topic about reformed bands:
I dare to say without a doubt that "the kings of return and success" are
Aerosmith, they returned to became a huge, huge act.
Van Halen could count too, although I guess they never split after the
departure of David Lee Roth, when Sammy Haggar came up, they turned bigger
than they were before.
