Fixed that for ya.
Yes I do own BIB. I also own High Voltage, Dirty Deeds, Let There Be Rock and Highway To Hell. I prefer Bon to Brian.

BIB is the only Johnson era AC/DC I own, although I've heard FTATR, Who Made Who and Ballbreaker. I much prefer the Scott era too. I own all of his albums except for Jailbreak. I do think that after BIB all their stuff started to sound the same. At least the albums I heard and the songs on the radio. The Scott stuff was actually quite...interesting at times. And still good for some fun every now and again.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

They used bagpipes once. If figure if you're going to transcend your self-imposed mold, you might as well do it with bagpipes.

OK so maybe I would like to hear that one!

I refer you to the High Voltage album. Track 1. "It's a Long Way To the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)".

I have it and love it, along with around 10 other AC/DC albums.

I'm a bad fan: I still only have 4 albums from them (including Razor's Edge, which is not their best one).

Of course I own Back In Black (on tape however) alongside a hefty load of other AC/DC gems. I am a rock fan, not just specifically a progger although it is probably the best rock sub genre besides some of the better 60's hard rock and 90's grunge.
P.S. AC/DC's best album is Powerage! Hell yeah!!!!!!! (air guitar!)

No, because I don't really like AC/DC.

What's up with that? Does the whole Anti-Christ/Devil's Child offend your religious sensitivities?

I like a few songs though. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" and "You Shook Me All night Long" are two I quite enjoy.

No. But I like to listen to the odd AC/DC-song now and then. Plus I saw them live when they supported the Rolling Stones - and loads of people seemed to be at the gig only to see AC/DC!

I did buy a copy of it once on CD. I'm not sure if I still have it.

Got it on vinyl at the time of the release. Still worth listening to for Hells Bells and the title track. Not too bothered about the rest.

I plan to buy 'dirty deeds done dirt cheap', as I like it very much. I don't really care for the other albums albeit, their rendition of "baby pleased don't go" is rather amazing.
And as we are on a prog site, Chris Slade (Manfred Mann's Earthband) did a great job on 'Razor's edge'.

I can't say for sure ... I think I saw it (or another AC/DC record) in the stack of records I got from my parents. But I haven't quite finished going through that yet, so...

No, though I'm familiar with the album. When it was released, I listened to the radio almost non-stop, and it was impossible not to hear any songs from it. Anyway, I've never really been into AC/DC - way too one-dimensional for my tastes, though I recognize their importance.
