There are two songs on there dedicated to Bon Scott, "Back in Black" and "Hell's Bells", overall a wonderful album but i never felt comfortable with the choice of Brian Johnson for singer, they sounded too much like Krokus - don't get me wrong i liked Krokus but Bon Scott' s shoes were very difficult to fill, he was up there with Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Ozzy and Freddie Mercury in my opinion, one of the best singers in rock.
I have the album but those vocals really don't sound right

I can't believe all the negativity about AC/DC.Granted,their music lately all sounds the same,but these guys are icons. Bon Scott era AC/DC is great.His lyrics were clever and witty and loaded with double entendres,and his voice was gritty and dirty and unique.Albums like Powerage,Let There Be Rock and Highway To Hell are essential albums for any rock n roll fan.------------- |

Back in Black is a great rock album. This is undisputed. Much of AC/DC's Bon Scott-era output is also great rock music. In regard to the poll, some 14 million people bought BiB, maybe more (I have not seen recent numbers). Certainly a few of them are around these parts. The good songs on it are good, the others are typical AC/DC riff-fests. I've never really been able to accommodate Brian Johnson's voice. That's okay, it's still a good album. I have a remastered version. That's the one I use to evaluate the performance of any set of speakers. If You Shook Me All Night Long has the correct bottom, while keeping the empty space, it's a good set of speakers.
I think also Whole Lotta Rosie also is a good test for the correct bottom. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

0:00 through say 0:30 of You Shook Me All Night Long is as powerful as a rhythm section gets.

Perhaps demonstrating how little of an AC/DC fan I am, when I saw the thread title I thought it was asking about that Amy Winehouse album that was big a few years ago! As for AC/DC, I really can't see the appeal. I've been hearing them all my life via various friends, on the radio etc. (I listen to Planet Rock, a UK 'classic rock' station, fairly regularly and they are always on it). They bore me to tears. I have exactly the same reaction to them as I have to Status Quo. It's like they have a template and they stick to it. No variation, no light and shade, exactly the same formula time after time. ------------- Bob |

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!)

But I am a prog guy and never was really into AC/DC with Bon Scott (or AC/DC after B&B).
B&B was 22× Platinum. High Voltage sold a few few copies.
It's sad that Bon killed himself from acute alcohol intoxication.
Yet, Muse is touring this year with a song from the B&B album.
