Another band that I enjoyed: Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys. Many of you know him from Billy Idol's band. I knew of the singer, Perry McCarty as we lived about 3 miles apart when he got the gig. He was in a local band named Warrior. They had one album on MCA. I saw them tons of times playing parties and clubs. His voice has so much power. He also has a unique stage look.
As for Atomic Playboys, they have the typical 80s hair band style but with that cheesy whiz of Stevens' guitar. He does all the textbook aqua net tricks he can within the album but it's the best cheese to spread over your animalized spandex!

Atomic Playboys is the first studio album by guitarist Steve Stevens, released in 1989 through Warner Bros. Records. It reached #119 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for 12 weeks.The cover art was done by surrealist artist H.R. Giger, who designed the Xenomorph creature in the Alien film series. The title track was used in the closing credits of Australian television network The Nine Network's coverage of Formula One throughout the early 1990s, whilst "Power of Suggestion" featured in the 1994 film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
