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, with the title track (their first bona fide classic), "China Lady," and "The King" showing the first glimpses of the power and energy that would soon turn Accept into Germany's most successful metal band -- second only to the Scorpions. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Forming in Germany in 1971, Accept is lauded as one of the originators of the German heavy metal movement. Led by razorblade-gargling vocalist Udo Dirkschneider and guitar god Wolf Hoffmann, Accept took the melodic elements of fellow countrymen Scorpions and infused them with the back alley menace of AC/DC. This led to a string of Billboard Top 200 charting albums and the band's signature song in 1983, "Balls to the Wall." Since the late '80s, the members of Accept launched successful solo careers, but every now and again, they reunite to give the world another dose of streetwise aggression.
