Favorite AC/DC Album?
 

LIST OF ALBUMS! I'm still hoping for a CD set similar to Family Jewels.

DaveWadding 10-22-08 10:51 PM

High Voltage. I loved Back in Black, but I'm so sick of it now I can barely stand to listen to it.

Ginwen 10-22-08 11:43 PM

Back in Black. I've listened to it about 5 million times but I'm still not sick of it.

The Razors Edge for me, so many great albums to choose from, in my opinion AC/DC only made one lousy album and that is "Blow Up Your Video"

nodeerforamonth 10-23-08 12:07 AM

WHAT?!??! YOU DIDN'T PUT "POWERAGE" ON THERE?!??!?!

Shame on you! Most hardcore fans I've met say that's their favorite. Many bands say it's their favorite too (from Redd Kross to Mudhoney). And it's mine too.

How could you put Fly On The Wall and Ballbreaker on there but not Flick Of The Switch?

I consider Flick Of The Switch to be their last great album.

Highway To Hell. Has their best song ever, "Touch Too Much" and my second all-time favorite "Night Prowler". Never understood all the love for the title track but "Girls Got Rhythm, Walk All Over You, Shot Down In Flames" are as good as anything on Back In Black.

Dirty Deeds Austrailan version with "Jailbreak"

macnorton 10-23-08 08:46 AM

Highway to Hell without question, then Powerage, then Back in Black.

However, I disagree with rw2516, "If You Want Blood (You Got It)" is the best song on Highway, then "Touch Too Much".

My vote for best album cover too. :up:

I've always found that having the Live Collector's Edition and then a couple of other key albums is all the AC/DC I need, as they seem to all sound alike, so the 2-disc edition of Live is what I will pick to listen to about 90% of the time.

Rocketdog2000 10-23-08 09:59 AM

For me it's Highway To Hell. Back in the day, I literally wore out three copies of the album on vinyl from playing it so much. It was also one of the very first CD's I ever bought, not too long after those first came on the market, too. I also agree with macnorton that the album's highlight is "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)".

And while I don't feel quite the same about it, nodeerforamonth is right that you should have had Powerage on that list. It should be there instead of Ballbreaker, which is easily one of the band's weakest albums.

Absolutely agree with this.

yoshimi 10-23-08 12:11 PM

"Dirty Deeds" for me. Ride On might be my most played song ever. I can put if on repeat for hours.

GuessWho 10-23-08 12:32 PM

I forget which album, but it's the one with that song that talks about "rock"

:lol:


Also, sorry guys if I left your favorite AC/DC album off the list. It was hard to choose 9.
Look on the bright side, at least I left Blow Up Your Video off the list. :D

High Voltage!

Hokeyboy 10-23-08 01:14 PM

Highway To Hell so easily I don't have to think twice about it. While less "raw" and more polished than their earlier efforts, in terms of songwriting, musicianship, and production this is their most consistently high-quality album ever released.

Except "Love Hungry Man"... that's the only tune I never really liked.



Wait someone voted for "The Razor's Edge"? REALLY? Ugh... :(

astrochimp 10-23-08 04:21 PM

Powerage is also my favorite AC/DC album. I have never heard a single track from this album ever played on the radio which is a damn shame...

Can't wait to see them in concert again in a couple weeks... Too bad the closest venue was Toronto. But it's worth it and now I'll be able to say I've traveled to another country just to see them live. I'm consistently amazed at Angus' level of energy and physical exertion during the entire concert and he is the primary reason that they are the best concerts I've been to! To Angus' credit, it's really saying something when I can admit to getting excited to see another man performing a striptease. :D2:

:rock:

I was wondering the same thing. Flick seems to be the forgotten AC/DC album for some bizarre reason. It's got a lot of great tracks, though.

Highway to Hell

HTH - it came out when I was a freshman in HS. Love it!

Highway to Hell

Hixx 10-24-08 01:01 PM

Back in Black, sure a lot of it is played out but that doesn't change the fact that it's one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time.
