You mean songs about rebellion? What's rebellious about being one of the boys?
I'd go with this one:

I looked at the lyrics and they aren't rebellious. The song is just about having a good time, not about rebelling:
Well i feel pretty good
And i guess that i could get crazy now baby
Cause we all got in tune
And when the dressing room got hazy now baby
I know how you want it child
Hot, quick and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you're doin'it right
Let me up on the stand
And let me kick out the jam
Yes, kick out the jams
I want to kick'em out !
JESUS!!! 70s Punk passed you lot by did it???
Here's one for you Peter. Loved this as a teen:
and
Some obvious ones:
The Who -- My Generation; Won't Get Fooled Again
The Beatles -- Revolution
Sam Cooke -- A Change is Gonna Come
Barry McGuire -- Eve of Destruction
Clash -- Rock the Casbah
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
"Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening", according to Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the MC5's far left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging innovators of the punk movement in the United States.
I believe that means 'rebellious'.
Well said. And I don't think that being an aggressive teenager is really rebellious either: it's what teenagers are supposed to be like.
Within rock orthodoxies, I want to be straight by Ian Dury was quite rebellious, I think. And I'm straight by Jonathan Richman. For that matter, his I'm a little dinosaur was more rebellious than The Sex Pistols.
Perhaps Living in the past?
In a genre where 3 chord tunes, 'baby' lyrics, and 2 minute songs are the norm, prog rock is as rebellious as it gets...

Well, I first identified with that song as a teenager who was very influenced by glitter rock (Mott, NY Dolls, T.Rex) while living in the deep south when the simple act of growing one's hair shoulder-length was still considered to be rebellious and anti-social, even amongst your peers. I had previously lived in So. California where even in the mid-sixties such behaviors were better tolerated. So it all depends on the situation. By the time we got to the era of the Sex Pistols, I had already gotten all that teenage angst out of my system, anyway. In fact, I thought that most of the english punk scene was a joke, and in many ways I still do.

^ you should've lived in my house. I was allowed to wear my hair long once I got into 10th grade (1972) as long as I kept it clean and combed. "Rebellion" was a bad word & frowned upon. I love my mom, but she was controlling & domineering with me to the point of near suffocation. Interestingly, my folks were pretty flexible with the music I listened to.
My parents weren't a problem. They, themselves were considered young at the time, being around the same age as any of the famous rocks stars of the day. My dad was still not quite 20 when I was born in 1958. They were moderate conservatives, but probably more tolerant of the changes in popular and social culture during that time. They certainly overlooked small stuff like the art and fashion choices of their children, unless the choices themselves became a distraction from the more important things.
It really is a joke. So much more pretension than I've found in ANY prog band. I never saw angst as something I looked for in music. I seemed to skip that phase entirely as a teenager ... I was always the calm, thinking type. I still am. Adrenaline rush has never been in my vocabulary.
