Top 5's - a game

Nice list there Spectre-man, Flick of the Switch as #2? I'm gonna have to give that a listen to, maybe I'm missing something on it that you see? All the early stuff is just bad ass, but it's only fair to throw in at least one Brian Johnson album too.

I didn't get turned on to AC/DC until about '84 or '85 so FOTS was a pretty new album. Maybe I like it for sentimental reasons or maybe I like the rawness of it. It sounds like a really honest album to me.

Sidenote: I didn't realize until recently that Simon Wright did not play on FOTS. He came aboard after recording was finished.

AC/DC

1. Let There Be Rock
2. If You Want Blood, You've Got It
3. Powerage
4. Highway To Hell
5. High Voltage

None of the Brian Johnson albums made the top 5. But Flick Of The Switch would be my main choice.

AC/DC
1. High Voltage
2. Highway to Hell
3. Dirty Deeds
4. Let There Be Rock
5. '74 Jailbreak

Flick is the best Brian album bar none.

When it comes to the Brian Johnson albums I'm really only interested in the first 3, of those Back In Black is so overplayed that I'll never be able to listen to it, For Those About To Rock has a few songs but has the same problem with radio killing it...Flick Of The Switch is the only relatively unharmed by radio.

for me it's Flick, Ballbreaker and then Salute and occasionally Video that I jam.

AC/DC

1. Powerage
2. If You Want Blood You've Got It
3. Highway To Hell
4. TNT
5. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

The Bon era is my favorite, I like a few of the Johnson records, but not enough to beat out any of the others. But my picks from those would be: Flick Of The Switch, For Those About To Rock, Fly On The Wall. Back In Black is killer, but I dont need to listen to it for about 20 years.

AC/DC was another band I got into real young, most of these records actually mean alot to me.

Queen:
1. A Night At The Opera
2. A Kind Of Magic
3. A Day At The Races
4. Queen
5. Innuendo




AC/DC:
1. Highway To Hell
2. Flick Of The Switch
3. If You Want Blood You Got It
4. Powerage
5. Fly On The Wall

Sweet, good to see some more love for Fly On The Wall, I thought I was the only one who liked it.

the recording on Fly On The Wall is atrocious, that's why I haven't listened to it in years. It gave me an earache the first time I played it. LOL.

I got into that real heavy, because it was the newest AC/DC record at the time (aside from Who Made Who, but that doesnt really count). So, alot of it's nostalgia, but there's some killer tracks on there.

That's an album that should be re-recorded. Good tunes, horrible 80's production values with the big triggered drum sound.

I HATE that drum sound, that's why I ditched alot of the albums I did. Especially Ram It Down, except for the title track, I can't take it. It's such a soulless sound.

AC/DC

1-Highway to Hell
2-If You Want Blood You've Got It
3-Powerage
4-Let there Be Rock
5-High Voltage

Queen

1-Queen II
2-Sheer Heart Attack
3-Queen
4-Live Killers
5-A Night in the Opera

Nice to see "Live Killers" in there. That's one of those 70's live albums without overdubs, the mistakes are left intact which makes it all the more real.

It's all in the timing......... FOTS was the first AC/DC I bought when out came out that year, then WMW and FOTW when it came out. There's a lot of good tunes on those three and Flick doesn't have tunes that have been overplayed on the radio. WMW actually introduced me to older AC/DC, "Ride On" is still one of my favorite tunes(another non-radio tune).

I love all AC/DC albums, but the production on 'Fly On the Wall' is horrid but at the time I did not care, it was a new AC/DC album and got to see them live on that tour with Yngwie opening.

Who Made Who didn't introduce to older AC/DC. When Maximum Overdrive entered my life (still one of my favorite movies to date) I was in full AC/DC mania, so I snapped it up and loved it just like the others. I still like the original songs on it alot, but I don't usually listen to the whole album anymore

I am a huge fan of live albums especially those released in the 70's

next band:

THE BEATLES

1. Abbey Road
2. The White Album
3. Past Masters Vol. 2 (late period singles)
4. Revolver
5. Sgt Peppers

Ugh! I hate the Beatles...but mine would go:

1. Revolver
2. Rubber Soul
3. Help!
4. A Hard Day's Night
5. Please, Please Me

I love the Beatles!


1. BEATLES FOR SALE
2. LET IT BE
3. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
4. REVOLVER
5. PLEASE PLEASE ME

I got a ton of Beatles stuff including a supposed "unreleased album" of sorts called 'Primal Colours'.
