The definitive 5 greatest

[Christmas Ape]

Oh yeah.....

1. Gone Shootin'
2. Back In Black/Hell's Bells (can't split them)
3. Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
4. Highway To Hell
5. Touch Too Much

 

[HevyDevy]

It seems I'm the only one that rates Let Me Put My Love Into You.

To me it's just the greatest AC/CD track of all time, which is a bit weird because it's different ... but I love it. There's emotion but it's still AC/DC.

And I would also add that Blow Up Your Video is an under-rated album. Songs like Meanstreak, Go Zone and of course Heatseeker are great tracks. Kissin Dynamite kicks arse.

Nah I rate it... Bon had this way of putting emotion into tracks without it coming across as cheese, he had the unique world-weary tone to his voice (Ride On anyone?).

 

[CC_Eagle]

Completely disagree.

I think the production on the early Bon albums is awful, especially TNT and Let There Be Rock. It's muddy and inconsistent from track to track.
Having said that, Powerage (the last Vanda/Young album from that era) is superb. Brutal guitar sound and chest-caving drums. Although, I reckon Mark Opitz (engineer) might have had a lot to do with that.

Mutt Lange picked up where Powerage left off and took their sound to another level. I don't think any of the 3 albums he produced sound 'polished' at all.
Highway To Hell through a good sound system is still one of the most powerful listening experiences in rock music, Back In Black speaks for itself and For Those About To Rock is hugely under-rated.

I'll admit Mutt wasn't afraid of piling on the cheese (Foreigner - 4, Def Leppard - Hysteria) but I thought his AC/DC output was awesome at worst.

The LTBR may be "bad" production wise, but imo has such a raw, live sound which epitomizes the band's sound.

Personal taste I guess I perfer the LTBR sound over FTATR for example.

I agree re: Powerage though. It is by far their best sounding and imho, equal best overall album. All killer, absolutely no filler. Probably my "favourite" album.

SUL is their best sounding album since FTATR. Musically and production wise.

Let Me Put My Love Into You was recorded by Brian though?

 

[HevyDevy]

Yes I was about to say that.

Incidentally, Brian's voice is different on Back in Black compared to every other album he has made since. Just an interesting observation. It's more gravelly afterwards.

 

[hillbillyjazzer1954]

my five greatest ACDC songs are in no particular order
1. Baby Please Dont Go (to me this song sums up what ACDC are on about.....the first song on their first album was an old blues song from the late 40s by Big Joe Williams and Sonny Boy Williamson imo they are a Blues Based Boogie Band with a liberal helping of Rockn Roll)
2. Let There Be Rock
3. Bd Boy Boogie
4. Rocker
5. High Voltage
