Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

I can't not love this song! Billy Idol may look like a poser, a fool, a dilettante, what-have-you, but he's also got a sense of humour and occasionally a keen ear for which rock'n'roll cliches work best. "Rebel Yell" is the prime example of that, written and performed with guitarist Steve Stevens and with an arrangement where they and the other musicians press all the right buttons. It was first released in 1984, but mysteriously enough not a major hit until its 1985 re-release. Today of course, an 80's classic!
