"Cradle of Love" is a rock song written by Billy Idol and David Werner for Idol's 1990 fourth studio album "Charmed Life".
 The song is the album's sixth track, and was released as its first single.
 The song became one of Idol's biggest hits in the United States, where it reached No. 2 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, but stalled at No. 34 in Idol's native UK Single Chart.
 It was also Idol's first, and (so far) only No. 1 hit on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the U.S.
Billy Idol is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock vocalist Billy Idol, released on 16 July 1982 by Chrysalis Records.

Rebel Yell is the second studio album by English rock musician Billy Idol.
 It was released on 10 November 1983, by Chrysalis Records.
 After the release of his 1981 eponymous debut album, Idol continued his collaboration with Keith Forsey and Steve Stevens.
 The album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York.
 Initially recording without a drummer, utilizing only the electronic drum machine LinnDrum, Forsey and Stevens later decided to hire Thommy Price to play drums on some of the songs.
 Musically, "Rebel Yell" is a rock album with a strong influence of new wave music.
 The cover sleeve and images were shot by Brian Griffin.
 Idol got the idea of the album's title after attending a party with The Rolling Stones and drinking the Rebel Yell whiskey.
Greatest Hits is a compilation of Billy Idol's most popular singles, released by Capitol Records in 2001.
 The album includes two additional tracks: a live recording of one of his most popular songs, "Rebel Yell" (this live version was recorded in 1993 and appeared as a b-side for the single "Speed" in 1994), plus a new version of Idol's longtime producer Keith Forsey's "Don't You (Forget About Me)".
 Although Forsey originally wrote the song with Idol in mind, Idol turned it down and eventually the song was given to Simple Minds who would go on to make it a worldwide hit in 1985.
 "Greatest Hits" was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2005.
Cyberpunk is the fifth studio album by English rock vocalist Billy Idol.

 Heavily experimental in its style, the album was an attempt by Idol to take control of the creative process in the production of his albums, while simultaneously introducing Idol's fans and other musicians to the opportunities presented by digital media.
