Billy Idol is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this weekend, but before that happens, he gets a whole day all to himself!

Friday, November 13 is officially Billy Idol Day in Los Angeles, and Mr. Rebel Yell will be presented with a decree during a city council session, followed by a celebration that includes a performance from Idol and his longtime guitarist and collaborator, Steve Stevens.

Let’s join in the fun – and honor Billy Idol!- by creating a playlist full of songs that have a rebellious streak.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs with the spirit of rebellion would you like to hear?
