Billy Squier knows his music is all right. He knows because he's got razor sharp hooks, air-tight choruses, and the Big Beat. Though his former band Piper wasn't the next Kiss both were managed by Bill Aucoin, Squier plays with the big boys right out of the gate on his first solo Tale of the Tape deftly welds heavy licks to hard funk on a level with world-dominators Queen. Both beatboxes and muscle cars blasted You Should Be High, Love and Big Beat. But the artist's gentle melodic touch always surprises. Billy Squier. Released 1980. The Tale of the Tape Tracklist.
