Awesome 80s Albums: Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

This is part 8 of my however many part i feel like doing series of awesome albums from the 1980s.  This album is a little bit of a departure from most on the list - as it tends to have a little different edge than most album i will include in this series (mostly straight ahead pop/rock).

This album was released in 1983 by Billy Idol, who seems to be a little more punk edged.  It sold decently and was re-released in a 1999 expanded edition.  In my mind, the quality of the rest of the album are not nearly as good as the singles - though the singles are good enough to put this as a classic 80s album.

Notable Singles:
* "Rebel Yell"
* "Eyes Without a Face"
* "Flesh For Fantasy"
* "Catch My Fall"

Other Songs:
* "Daytime Drama"
* "Blue Highway"
* "Crank Call"
* "(Do Not) Stand in the Shadows"
* "The Dead Next Door"
