442 - Accept I'm a Rebel 1980

Coming off a less than stellar first album, Germany's Accept showed a marked improvement with 1980's I'm a Rebel. The production values still leave something to be desired, but both the band's trademark guitar crunch and vocalist Udo Dirkschneider's gravelly shriek are evident for the first time on this album. Their songwriting skills are also evolving rapidly, for instance with the title track (their first bona fide classic). Interesting to watch long-haired Udo.
