An underappreciated “Billy Idol” gem

In my dream last night, I heard a song I haven’t listened to in ages: The Dead Next Door, a little-played song from Billy Idol’s biggest album, Rebel Yell. It’s one of my favorite Billy Idol tunes, and I always thought it was an unexpected, underappreciated gem.

It’s been stuck in my head all day, and if you dare play it, it might get stuck in yours too.
