    I couldn’t agree more. I’m three years older but found them at the release of If You Want Blood. Then bought all I could find.

    Thanks for this. Not quite enough attention given to Bon's voice. IMHO a big reason why those albums are so great.

    I always thought while AC/DC wasn't the first rock'n'roll band, nor the last, but they were the most pure yet fully realized version of their form. The subtleties in those riffs interplaying with the drums, really are so creative. For a band criticized for playing more and more of "same old", I can name off the song from any of those first 8 or 10 albums in about 5 seconds. To me its the most fully realized form of American rock n 'roll, be damned with the Scottish and Austrailan roots. There's no beatles stones or even yardbirds cream or zeppelin here. Dare I say--- free from the Andy's English aesthetic?!?

    The verse on back in black sounds great as Angus and Malcolm play power chords but the bass player adds the thirds to create a combination of power and harmony.

    Huge AC/DC Follower since 76 (seen em 48 times and met all the band regularly in those early days) when I bought High Voltage & Dirty Deeds, Agree From Let There be Rock to Back in Black, their best years 77 - 80 also agree on Touch Too Much in my Top 7 AC/DC Songs , But Let There Be Rock is Their Most Fiercest and Title Track plus Whole Lotta Rosie, Overdose, Bad Boy Boogie that album is IMHO The Greatest Rock Album of All Time closely followed by Powerage , Great Review , and yeah after FTATR They did slide away , but How could they follow up Those Epic Albums , They Were Blueprint Rock 👌💯🔥🎸🎸😈

    For me, it has to be the live version of LTBR. It just explodes out of the speakers, with an almost impossible level of energy, which never flags for even a second.
    Nice one, Andy.

    “Flick of the Switch” and “Razor’s Edge” are great AC/DC records post-For Those About to Rock. I do agree that those earlier records are damned near perfect.

    Agree. Bon Scott was one of the greatest personality in rock-music, if not the greatest to date. Singer, songwriter, frontman, he had literal it all. Just the image above all. Not to take any away from Jagger, Mercury, Plant, and so on. Bon was just something special.

    Very cool vid Andy. Angus was the reason I picked up a guitar. I also have developed into a prog head but always come back to that AC/DC sound from time to time. Shoot to thrill for me. Its a juggernaut of a track, and Angus just goes into beast mode.

      One of the forgotten bands. Those guys went from selling out stadiums during the early 70’s to rarely being mentioned. They have an interesting catalog of music, and hits that have you saying “oh yeah, I remember that song” when you hear them. A few years ago I saw them play live, and unexpectedly I really enjoyed them. They still played great. I think one or two members have sadly passed away since I saw them.

  • @Captain_Rhodes

    For me the First 3 ACDC albums are easily the best, High Voltage/TNT/Dirty deeds. I always thought the Australian producers were the best and the band was at its dirtiest and most punk. When Bon Scott dressed like a school girl and they did baby please don't go it was so funny but great. I liked mostly everything up until back in black but not as much. I think thats a good album but nothing more. After that its take it or leave it for me. I never disliked them

    I have always found AC/DC, post Bon Scott, too stolid and less playful. The playing has remained impeccable and there have been great songs released but without Scott they have become of less interest to me.

    Sorry - maybe Back in Black which can be used in drum lessons to show 16 parts grouped in 3rds.
    But personally, I can't stand AC/DC, and experience it as "primitive" noisy music, where neither the singer nor the drummer moves a shit, in my opinion :D
