Powerage is their greatest album in my opinion. I don’t expect many to agree but I’m surprised it isn’t talked about more. Too many classics for it to get lost among I suppose. Great list, hard to argue with most of it.
(Powerage)I’ve never understood why there were two versions of this album? The first version was the best but missing R&R damnation I had to buy it on a 7’’ and again better version than the 2nd pressing.
Enjoyed your video very much. 'Powerage' is my favourite album, mainly because the lyrics are so brilliant. Bon is very much underrated as a songwriter and 'Powerage' showed what he could do when he made the effort. I also appreciate the fact that you put 'Razor's Edge' mid-table, because I really enjoyed that album and thought it was a return to form when I first heard it.
I recently made this list for a video on the Sea Of Tranquility site, so I had it all ready. :) I didn't include the first two Aussie-only albums. 15) Black Ice 14) Ballbreaker 13) Stiff Upper Lip 12) Blow Up Your Video 11) Rock or Bust (35 minutes is the perfect length for an album at this point in their career!) 10) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (If I never hear the title track or "Big Balls" (which I've always hated) again it will be too soon.) 9) Fly on the Wall (This has some nostalgic value for me.) 8) For Those About to Rock We Salute You (Always felt like Back In Black leftovers to me. Except the title track.) 7) Let There Be Rock 6) The Razors Edge (Though the lack of an apostrophe in the title has always annoyed me.) 5) High Voltage 4) Flick of the Switch (Over the years this one has continuously risen in the ranks for me.) 3) Powerage 2) Back in Black 1) Highway to Hell (Touch Too Much is, hands down, my favorite song of theirs.) Thanks for your list!
I'm very surprised because no one mentioned 74 'Jailbreak. It's an album with only five songs but what awesome songs. They all have a lot of energy and I can't stop listening to them. The rest of the list seemed very good with great descriptions.
because its not an album! it is a compilation, the song jailbreak was from dirty deeds and the rest was from high voltage only released in australia from 1974.
16 - Black Ice 15 - Stiff Upper Lip (2000) 14 - Blow Up Your Video (1988) 13 - Rock Or Bust (2014) 12 - The Razor's Edge (1990) 11 - Ballbreaker (1995) 10 - Power Up (2000) 09 - Fly On The Wall (1985) 08 - Dirty Deeds (1981/U.S.) 07) - High Voltage (1976/U.S.) 06) - For Those About To Rock (1981) 05) - Flick Of The Switch (1983) 04) - Let There Be Rock (1977) 03 ) - Highway To Hell (1979) 02 ) - Powerage (1978) 01) - Back In Black (1980)
I may swap one or two namely Powerade up the list a couple of places but this is a great assessment of my favourite band. Let there be rock was the first album I bought
You know...Powerage is NOT the most overlooked album! EVERY fan is talking about it! Fans LOVELOVELOVE it and even people, who aren't like hardcore. The most overlooked one is IMHO "Flick Off The Switch"! Only thing i do not like is the mixing. It lacks "OOMPH!", BUT the songs are great.
1) Powerage 2) Back in Black 3) Highway to Hell 4) Let There Be Rock 5) For Those About to Rock 6) High Voltage 7) Fly on the Wall 8) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 9) Flick of the Switch 10) The Razor's Edge 11) Blow Up Your Video I quit buying their new albums after The Razor's Edge.
Back in Black......first song I heard was Hells Bells. Highway to Hell..... just awsome For those about to rock. Theese are my 3 go to albums If you want blood... not a studioalbum, but rocked the living daylight out of me. And last, Dirty Deeds. Never did like any of the albums that came after For those about to rock.
My top ten AC/DC albums are 1 Powerage 2 highway to hell 3 let their be rock 4 high Voltage 5 back n black 6 for those about to rock 7 dirty deeds done dirt cheap 8 flick of the switch 9 razors edge 10 ball breaker
Generally speaking I like Blow up Your Video and Rock or Bust more than you. And I agree with you in that I like Fly On The Wall more than most seem to. I don't like Ballbreaker or Flick of the Switch as much as you do.
Whatever anyone's preferences, the fact for me is that "High Voltage" changed my life - age 10, I'd only heard 70's pop until that point. If you'll pardon the pun, it was almost literally electrifying.
An interviewer in a press conference asked the band (and I'm paraphrasing here): "What do you think about people saying that you've simply made the same album 12 times?" to which Angus replied: "Well we've actually made 13 albums, so they're wrong". Also, being Australian, the sight of that alternative album cover for "Dirty Deeds' is simply abominable. And the ultimate #1 here is an album that I'm not even familiar with. But I get that these are international releases.
Powerage is the best AC/DC album to listen to while passing around a joint with your buddies. Pure groove and somehow energetic and laidback at the same time, the band are locked in tight and the smooth production ties it all together in a lovely bow
LTBR. The raw honest intimacy of the cranked amps, it's recorded in Australia by the Young family, with Bon. You can virtually smell the whiskey on his breath. Not over produced, very live. Nothing else like it.
Just a severely deformed Dio Lol. Just messin with ya Old guy here. Hate typing. So. You getwhat ya get. Go listen to Powerage. Way up high That's the boys at the top a their game
My top 7, with my two favorite tracks on each... 1. Powerage, quintessential AC/DC. Riff Raff, Rock n Roll Damnation 2. Back in Black - Sensational. Shoot to Thrill, Have a Drink on Me 3. Let There Be Rock - Whole Lotta Rosie, Bad Boy Boogie 4. Highway to Hell - Shot Down in Flames, Girls Got Rhythm 5. High Voltage - Rock n Roll Singer, Long Way to the Top 6. Dirty Deeds - Problem Child, Dirty Deeds 7. For Those About to Rock - Put the Finger on You, COD
Agree 100%. Stiff Upper Lip is my least favorite of their albums, but I still like listening to it and it has great songs and way better than half of the other crap on the radio these days.
Fly On the Wall is one of the most criminally underrated albums in history. It just needs a remaster to touch up the production errors but apart from that the riffs and songs are epic.
I would argue that the problem with Fly On The Wall is OVER productuon. They polished it up too much and Simon Wright's drum sound was really 80s pop sounding. They made a good move when they went back to Vanda and Young to produce Blow Up Your Video.
@@livewire2759 An interesting take on it and you may well be right. Can't be hard to fix though because I still say that the music is excellent add with some of the best riffs they ever came up with. I loved the ultimate production that Vanda and Young reached with Powerage and wish that they had still produced the rest too.
@@billfreeman5201 Yeah, FOTW has a lot of great songs on it, but it's nothing like the "live in the studio" production they used in the late 70s, and I agree that they should have stuck with Vanda and Young. When they sought out a new producer to try to get some hits in America, it's almost like they sold out a bit. I can't blame them for wanting to sell more records here, and I'm glad they did, but Lange overproduced Highway To Hell. I find it odd that Back in Black doesn't have the same overproduced feel to me that HTH does, but after that, all the 80s albums just feel like there is something missing, and I think it's that Vanda - Young production.
@@grooverstone9553 Brian's voice sounds great on FOTW in my opinion, but I don't care much for the reverb effect he used, just like the reverb effect Simon Wright used on his drums. Hell, even Angus (and maybe Malcolm too) used some overdubbing on his guitar parts. The whole album was way overdone and overproduced.
Yes it is true that Angus's amplifier caught fire during the Let there be rock sessions. It was during the take of Whole lotta Rosie that ended up on the record. Angus supposedly wanted to stop playing and try to save the amplifier but George signaled to him to keep going. They could always get a new amplifier, but a take like that might only happen once. I don't know if this is true, but I once read that they were so happy with the recording of Whole lotta Rosie that they seriously considered using it as the title track. But then George (or it could have been Malcolm) looked at the smoking remains of the dead amplifier and concluded that Let there be rock would be the best choice.
Powerage was their best album of all time- I think this because it is the perfect balance between blues and hard rock. It's perfect and the way that the band put these two similar but different genres together is flawless. "Gimme A Bullet" is my all time favorite AC/DC song ever.
Who cares but here you go: 0. Album (favorite track) 1. Fly on the Wall (Back in Business) 2. Powerage (Gone Shootin') 3. Ballbreaker (Burnin' Alive) 4. Back in Black (Shoot To Thrill) 4. Highway to Hell (Touch Too Much) 5. Let There Be Rock (Overdose) 6. Flick of the Switch (Flick Of The Switch) 7. For Those About to Rock (Evil Walks) 8. High Voltage (Live Wire) 9. The Razors Edge (Shot Of Love) 10. Rock Or Bust (Sweet Candy) 11. Stiff Upper Lip (Damned) 12. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Squealer) 13. Blow Up Your Video (Some Sin For Nuthin') 14. Black Ice (Decibel) 15. Who Made Who (D.T.) EDIT: insert 'PWR UP' between 6 & 7 (Kick You When You're Down)
Love love love Flick of the Switch. Wish Brian’s voice was turned up a bit more, but far and away one of my fav AC/DC records. This record has a grittier and an even more straight forward rock record - if that’s possible. 👍
Great video. Looking at most of the comments, I agree. Powerage is AC/DC's best album. " Two faced woman with your two faced liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeess "
My ranking is, 1. Powerage, for me the very best AC/DC Album if its only for "down payment blues", great lyrics. 2. Highway to hell my youth 3. Let there be rock 4. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap 5. High Voltage 6. Back in black Rest do like you want. To say it simple and clear I'm a huge Bon Scott fan.
You should do a worst to best video ranking your worst to best videos from worst to best. Re: the bagpipes on IALWTTT. George Young thought about putting them on there and Bon volunteered to play them, having played in a pipe band when he was younger. What he didn't tell Young was that he had been the drummer in the Pipe band and had never touched a set of bagpipes. But he played the flute in Fraternity (his previous, very successful band) and he figured he'd be able to give it a go. The problem is that bagpipes are not chromatic and its very difficult to get them to play in any key other than A. IALWTTT was recorded in Bb and all sorts of jiggery pokery had to be jiggered and pokered to get the overdub to fit - and the Albert studios at Burwood (basically a concrete box in a run down industrial suburb) wasn't exactly state of the art (they had a better studio in George St in Sydney but Vanda and Young usually worked out of Burwood - George St was apparently freezing cold and Burwood was closer to home) for doing such things. Subsequently, the band played the song live in A to accommodate the pipes. Bon mimed them for the famous video and the pipes were finally destroyed by rioting fans at a gig in Hobart in 1977 - an even which Bon Scott called the happiest day of his life. Bon got doubly fortunate at that gif because that is, apparently, where he met the famous "Rosie" (although some say that happened in Launceston). Another bit of IALWTTT trivia - if you use even a second of the recording of that riff in your video, they'll copyright cancel you. It took them 8 minutes. I was impressed.
The thing I remember about being in college in the late 70’s was how prevalent disco was. I thought disco was the worst thing ever created, but then I heard rap. Anyway, AC/DC is what got me through that nightmare.
"Highway To Hell" for me, it's got the lot. Brilliantly written songs, that Bon Scott swagger and the great bluesy "Night Prowler", which would have to be my all-time favorite AC/DC song.
Good choice. Night Prowler never gets mentioned but it's one of their absolute best. That Mork and Mindy quote at the end is pure Bon. A hell of an album too.
Well, that's very much down to Lange's craftsmanship. If you listen to demos on Bonfire, he turned them 'round completely into totally different songs to make 'em radio-friendly, predominantly for the American market. Just everything on that album, production-wise, is absolutely marvellous! He raised them to an entirely different level without stealing anything away from them, identity or style-wise. Thank God they ditched Eddie Kramer who was the initial suggestion from the Atlantic bigwigs! He was the one who suggested they do a cover of Gimme Some Lovin'. After which Malcolm (who else, 'DC were primarily his "baby" after all!) called Ian Jeffrey, I believe it was, the then manager and said, "Look, we need somebody else who knows what he's doin".
This is the first AC/DC album I ever heard in 1979 and it's still my favorite! Not a bad song on the entire album. Touch too Much is my favorite AC/DC song!
1:45 I'd say Can't stand still on Stiff Upper Lip is a pretty unique song as far as AC/DC goes. Maybe closest compared to Thunderstruck but very much has it's own identity and is one of my favorite tracks of theirs.
It's nice to see LTBR up there. It's such a heavy, fantastic album. When youngsters tell me AC/DC is "not metal" (an argument I have no interest in either way), I tell them to play this and any thrash album out there, and then we can talk about heaviness. Back In Black is the obvious choice for most people. It's definitely one of my favorites. It's also unique in that, like it or not, it's a flawless album, a once-in-a-generation accomplishment. Song writing, playing, production and selection are perfect. There's no way to improve on that album.
Wonderful...at last someone who has confirmed their favourite album as being 'Let There Be Rock' I assumed at the beginning of the video that Back In Black would be no.1 so a great surprise. LTBR was A/c D/c at their very best and, for me, they never came close thereafter to the brilliance of this album.
Good list. Great description of LTBR as the no. 1 15. Stiff Upper Lip 14. Ballbreaker 13. Rock Or Bust 12. Fly On The Wall 11. Blow Up Your Video 10. Black Ice 9. Razors Edge 8. For Those About To Rock 7. Flick Of The Switch 6. Back In Black 5. Highway To Hell 4. DDDDC 3. Let There Be Rock 2. High Voltage 1. Powerage
My favourite band. Dirty Deeds would be higher in it's Australian format. High Voltage would be lower in its Aussie format than I've placed the International version. Any of the top 4 could be #1. 1: Powerage 2: Highway to Hell 3: Back in Black 4: Let There Be Rock (International)... Prefer the Australian version. 5: High Voltage (International) 6: Flick of The Switch 7: Dirty Deeds (International) 8: For Those About To Rock 9: The Razor's Edge 10: Fly On The Wall..... Absolutely awful production and mixing. Very good to great songs though. 11: Black Ice 12: Stiff Upper Lip 13: Ballbreaker 14: Rock or Bust 15: Blow Up Your Video
Excellent review, I was very pleased to hear your thoughts about Bon Scott, and voting Let there be rock with Bon’s vocals as your number 1. I really miss the old AC/DC band especially Bon Scott! Brian Johnson is good, and today’s younger generation for most part haven’t been exposed to Bon’s greatness! I burned through collection after collection of ac/dc cassette tapes, then moved to DVD’s, and now I’m collecting and playing the Bon Scott era vinyl albums! Saw (3) Bon Scott ac/dc live concerts, and at 57 yrs old still feel they were the best rock concerts I have ever witnessed! My ears rang for a good week after concert! RIP Bon Scott, and Malcom young! Crank up “ can I sit next to you girl” written by Malcom in junior high with perfect Bon’s temple, will rock you at any age! Or “little lover” exposes true Bon Scott talent Cheers
Australian versions of TNT and Dirty Deeds are simply the best, the overseas versions are absolute garbage and unlistenable. Also the song 'problem child' does NOT belong on LTBR, never has, never will. It replaced 'crabsody in blue', if that's a song you don't like, reduce it to a 7 track album, problem child should not be there, it belongs on the Aust DDDDC. And may I add, the international ddddc album cover is the most appalling, idiotic, abomination I have ever seen, the Aust cover was brilliant
@@starlinyn9292 in order; dirty deeds, aint no fun, there's gonna be some rockin', problem child, squealer, big balls, rip (rock in peace), ride on, jailbreak. And don't forget to check out the original album cover showing cartoon bon and angus in a pool room
@@starlinyn9292 dirty deeds does not sound anywhere near the same as both versions! on the australian there is freaking jailbreak for crying out loud, how could you not know that?
It's not just the track listing that's different. With the international version they shortened the endings of Dirty Deeds and Ain't No Fun. They've discontinued the Australian version of the album so you can't even get it here in Oz anymore. This is an outrage! Something must be done immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! (I didn't get a harrumph out of that guy.)
I think the "cock wagging" is part of why they have lasted. Putting on one of their albums is a return to adolescence and most of us became fans before we were all that mature. They were never the type of band to get sensitive and bring out an acoustic guitar, they were the antidote to "Poison" (either the band or the Alice Cooper song).
While other bands change/evolve/experiment, i was glad to hear AC/DC's new single last year on radio. I honestly thought it was some mid 90's AC/DC track that i hadn't heard before. Still the same meat & potatoes.
Powerage and Let There Be Rock are pure raw energy, specially the former. IMO Powerage is the greatest rock album of all time, all killer no filler (despite Rock 'n' Roll Damnation being technically a filler, that riff still gets me pumped). Never again will humanity achieve such a sharp guitar tone combined with melancholic, wicked bluesy lyrics.
The 8 year break did it, ac/dc was way to big with the hardcore fans, regardless of the black ice Walmart newbies.your right about more love for Black ice
Stiff Upper Lip at 14!!!! Shows that most people don't even know the musical roots of AC/DC in the 70s and what made them popular in the first place. The first half of the album has a lot in common with their classic 1970s AC/DC sound which is no surprise due to it being produced by George Young who also co-produced all of AC/DCs albums prior to Highway To Hell. To many long-time fans this was seen as AC/DCs prime years with Bon Scott on vocals. You can hear the dramatic change in style with Highway To Hell where the band started their new style of anthem driven stadium rock to break the US market. The band still had enough creative juice left to pull it off however they run out of steam in the 1980s and apart from the odd song here and there they've settled for the safe formulaic style as we can hear on their latest album. Still a great band and in my all time favourite bands list.
I’m glad someone else put blow up your video last on their list. Even as a kid, i didn’t really like it. But now that you mention it, Malcolm was out of commission at the time. So it kinda makes sense
Recently listened to flick of the switch for the first time in the last few weeks - and man is that record up my alley. I was given the impression that most of the 80's records were subpar so I just ignored them. Flick of the switch has a real hard edge that I like
any of their stuff is worth buying and listening to....highway to hell is not only their best but one of the best rock albums in history....every song is great..not a single weak track that you have to skip.phil rudd was in rare form. from the opening riff of highway to hell to the nanu nanu every second blows your face off.
This is what music reviews should be like, intelligent, articulate, respectful and honest. ACDC are all electric power and this review has done them something that all great music deserves . . . justice.
Very interesting list. It would really be nitpicking to quibble with the order you put them in. I've always had a preference for the Bon Scott years. He was the epitome of a rock and roll front man.
Man, your review of each album is so eloquent! I’m impressed just listening to your reviews. AC/DC was my first favourite band. The first three albums I had were High Voltage (international edition), DDDDC, and For Those About to Rock, so all three have a special place for me. I liked Flick of the Switch well enough, but Fly on the Wall and Blow Up Your Video both put me off the band. By that time I was into lots of other music anyway. Once again, excellent video! I should take a few pages from your book!
Ha! I'm from western Sydney and ACCADACCA was holy, it was everywhere, and every panel van had them on constant rotation. To my shame, I never cared for them much until Blow Up Your Video came out. Heatseaker and That's The Way I Wanna Rock'n'Roll changed all of that. I'll always have a special place for the BUYV album.
Why do you like ACDC but not Punk? Look at the Talking Heads or Blondie. They turned pop and disco on its head and incorporated the many sounds of NYC. In America, Punk is not a response to metal, it's a response to disco, and soft rock. Don't like punk? Blame Dan Fogleberg. UK punks look like American hardcore and metal heads. Go figure.
I've always wondered the same thing. AC/DC and the Sex Pistols were not that dissimilar musically speaking. I don't think AC/DC were ever political but both were about stripping rock n roll back down to Chuck Berry level with a little extra adrenalin.
The closest we get to a remix of ‘Fly on the wall’ is the slightly remixed versions of ‘Sink the Pink’ and ‘Shake your Foundations’ on ‘Who made Who’ that do push the bass a little and make Beanos vocals sit on the top.
Love Powerage and would call it my favorite. Let's remember that Let There Be Rock contained arguably their most impactful tunes Whole Lotta Rosie, LTBR,, Bad Boy Boogie, Hell Aint a Bad Place to Be plus Go Down, Overdose, and Dog Eat Dog.
1. Powerage Angus and Malcolm have both said it was their best, and most fans agree. 2. Let There Be Rock The title says it all, there's no better album to rock your ass off. 3. Dirty Deeds The first album of theirs I heard all the way through, and the album that made me a fan, so I put it higher than most. 4. Highway to Hell. Most people put it higher, but in my opinion Lange overproduced it. 5. Back in Black It's freakin' Back in Black... 6. Ballbreaker Hard blues rock, one of my favorites and very underrated in my opinion. 7. Flick of the Switch There's some filler on it, but the songs that rock, ROCK HARD. 8. TNT (Aus) It has rocker on it... ROCKER! ...and High Voltage... and... shit every song on that album is a classic, I even named my channel after one of them. 9. Black Ice and Rock or Bust I can't decide which one is better... some filler on both, but some of their best songs on both as well... Keep listening to ROB, it has to grow on you. 10. Fly on the Wall It's a bit overproduced in my opinion, but... Shake Your Foundations! 11. Blow Up Your Video Some like it, some don't, but it's got several great songs. 12. For Those About To Rock They tried to make another BIB... but there's only 1 BIB. 13. Razors Edge and Stiff Upper Lip. Razor is overrated, Lip is underrated, both good albums though. 14. High Voltage (Aus) A good first try, everyone who's heard it knows what's good and what's not so good... but hell, every band has to start somewhere.
Here’s my own List From Worst To Best: 16. Who Made Who. 15. Flick Of The Switch. 14. Blow Up Your Video. 13. Stiff Upper Lip. 12. Fly On The Wall. 11. Rock Or Bust. 10. Black Ice. 9. BallBreaker. 8. For Those About To Rock. 7. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. 6. Powerage. 5. The Razor’s Edge. 4. High Voltage. 3. Let There Be Rock. 2. Highway To Hell. 1. Back In Black.
While i dont agree entirely with your list but i have to say you said what you liked about each album and your dislikes most people would just say the mid to late 80s album suck and throw them away but you said what you liked about each of them very admirable
16.Rock or Bust 15. Black Ice 14. Fly on the Wall 13.Stiff Upper Lip 12. Flick of the Switch 11. Blow up your Video 10. The Razors Edge 9.Ballbreaker 8.Power Up 7.Let there be Rock 6.Powerage 5.High Voltage 4.FTABTR 3. DDDDC 2. Highway to Hell 1. BIB

Agree with your top four, although I would switch BIB and LTBR, depending on they day. I'd put Razors Edge top 5 at least, and SUL higher, but that's just me. I like Fly too, BTW.
1) Back In Black, 2) Highway To Hell, 3) High Voltage, 4) Powerage, 5) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, 6) Let There Be Rock, 7) For Those About To Rock(We Salute You) 8) Fly On The Wall, 9) The Razors Edge
surprised you didn't even touch on the reason I think Blow Up Your Video is their worst: the production is horrible. no bass, weak, dead drums, and the guitars + vocals sound like they being recorded through a mic that's been placed about 100m away from the amps. totally ruins what could've been a decent album cause the songs are mostly good
8. For Those About To Rock 7. Dirty Deeds 6. High Voltage 5. Flick of The Switch 4. Back In Black 3. Let There Be Rock 2. Power Age 1. Highway to Hell Do not care for any of the albums after Flick of The Switch. A few songs here and there, but later albums just do not compare to their first 8.
top 5: 1- Let there be rock 2- Highway to hell 3- Back in Black 4- Razor's Edge 5- Dirt deeds done dirt cheap (australian version ... you know, because of Jailbreak!)
Richard Condie hard disagree. Powerage is the best Bon Scott album. Back in Black is the best AC/DC album over all but you cannot just attribute it to Brian. There’s a lot of Bon on the record too, at least in spirit. The best all around Brian album is Flick of the Switch.
@@jasontscott-west6037 could you give please more details about spirit in back in black. No song from album corresponding to Bon Scott participating in songwriting as I know. Powerage probably good album but there no such hits like "touch too much" in highway to hell.
@@anton5442 The band made the BIB album as a tribute to Bon. May people around AC/DC at the time have indicated many of the lyrics were written by Bon. Angus said as much in a Rolling Stone interview, saying Bon had written many lyrics since HTH. You shook me all night long sounds so much like Bon. There is supposedly a recoreded demo titled Fast Machine with Bon singing. Bon's lyric books were "stolen" shortly after his death. The Bon Scott estate recieves one third of all BIB royaltys. I know Brian is credited on the album jacket but I am certain not all lyrics on the album are his. It seems to be much more than just Bon's spirit on BIB.
@@Zoetropeification as I know you shook me all night long was written by Brian Johnson in one night, after Angus and Malcolm gave him melody and said that they want to call it "you shook me all night long". If your opinion is right that it is very strange that Bon Scott not indicated at all as author, especially since BIB was made for his memory
I believe Blow Up Video is underrated,can’t say much for the overrated Razors Edge 👎……Brian lost his voice,the guitars aren’t as dirty,maybe two good songs
One of my favourite ever bands but only with Bon Scott on vocals. Powerage is my number 1 pick simply because it has Riff Raff, for me their greatest track. Highway To Hell is number 2, followed by Let There Be Rock, High Voltage and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
Bon was the only one worthy of being their vocals. I'm not saying Brian isn't good but goddamn,you knew if bon was involved,it was a party. I've always said after bon passed,the band lost it's energy. Even Angus wasn't as hyped as what he once was.
@@smokingthereefer92 I saw them in 1977, well before they became huge and I actually touched both when Bon was carrying Angus on his shoulders as he walked through the crowd. It was a very small venue and that's something I will never forget. I have watched that River Plate concert and Brian looks out place fronting AC/DC, never in a million years can he match Bon Scott.
@@jesuschambers Sadly,I was born in 92 so I missed all the good music. Had a mom that was born in 49 and a brother born in 65 so I grew up listening to all the good music but I wasn't there to experience the lifestyle of it. And yes Brian did look out of place but never in a million years would I figure they'd replace Brian with a crybaby get my way or else type of person like axl. That was just down right disgusting.
Not a bad list, however, swap Fly on the Wall for Stiff Upper Lip and it would be closer to the truth. FOTW is an absolute stinker. Oh, and as many have pointed out before me, 'Powerage' is their best record. No ifs, no buts, no arguements! 👍
