Generation X (also known as Gen X) were an English punk rock band, formed on 21 November 1976 by Billy Idol, Tony James and John Towe.

Valley of the Dolls was Generation X’s 1979 second album and was produced by Ian Hunter. The album contained the UK hit singles: “King Rocker”, which reached No. 11 in the charts in January 1979, the title track “Valley of the Dolls”, which made No. 23 in April of the same year and “Friday’s Angels”, which got to No. 62 in June 1979. The album is only indirectly related to the novel and film of this name, and the title cut is an original song.
