toscanobarga Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 just sayin' I got into AC/DC around "if you want blood..." then the brilliant Highway to Hell came along. Drifted away around "For Those About to Rock", the Johnson incarnation just didn't/doesn't do "it" for me. I have been buying alot of vinyl recently, yes I know it's trendy but I only stopped when they stopped making them, and I came across Powerage and bough tit blind as I hadn't heard it start to finish. It's a real gift, like discovering "new" Bon Scott-era songs. Long live the album as a format, this type of gem with great deep cuts would never exist in a single-song-release mp3 ibastard society. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Every second of Bon's era is a treasure for mankind! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Their masterpiece, no question. FTATR is still a fine album. I drifted after that as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 AC/DC is one of those bands I never really have a chance- I like quite a few of the songs I know of theirs, but I've never bought an album. The Bon era was a bit before my time. But I know there's some stuff I'd probably be into. I was the same way with Judas Priest for a long time, and now I really like a few of their albums that I know. So...I might just... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, if you're not a Brian fan, I can seeing taking a pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Total pass on Brian save for B in B which I had to get back in the day for curiosity's sake if nothing else. Let There Be Rock is my all time favorite by them and at least in my top 10 rock albums all time. Start to finish not a dud in the bunch. The first AC/DC album I ever bought and still my favorite to this day. I was lucky enough to see them with Bon once a few months before his death on the H to H tour. Was incredible... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritz44 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 This album was the first AC/DC LP I bought and it blew my socks off - March/April '78 i think, The original European LP included Cold Hearted Man, but not Rock 'n' Roll Damnation and was much the better for that. Love the lyrics to Damnation, but the guitar drives me nuts - not a favourite track. There isn't a poor track on the original Euro LP and Down Payment Blues may well be the greatest AC/DC song of all time (IMHO). I've said it before and I'll say it again, Flick of the Switch is Powerage's bas**ard son or a brother from a different mother - very bluesy, even if it is BJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Anything in the Bon era is great. Powerage, high voltage, dirty deeds, highway to hell are all good. I really don't know much from them post-for those about to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the first four ac/dc on vinyl - import versions that I picked up in Germany back in the day. Then I have FTATR, Fly on the Wall, Blow Up Your Video, and Who Made Who. Somewhere along the line I lost my Powerage through Back in Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I CANNOT stand any AC/DC post Bon Scott. The new/replacement lead singer ( whatever his name is ) is painful to listen to and watch. The new guy cannot come close to Bon. :codger: http://youtu.be/s3nEAmt5AZ8 Edited July 5, 2015 by custom55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
