OK, now the tough part.

 

Can we call it a tie and be done?

[goose]

Let There Be Rock is the least listened to by me. It's their heaviest, though.

 

The original had a novelty track called Crabsody In Blue instead of Problem Child, which was lifted from Dirty Deeds for the international LTBR release.

[goose]

High Voltage is a gem

[Malignant Narcissist]

Difficult now but I'd plump for Dirty Deeds being the weakest of the Bon era. Fun album though.

Powerage is the connoisseurs choice I'm guessing - needs a few listens to let it 'breathe' for some but it's Keith Richards fave I hear so who can argue with that!

The Aussie Dirty Deeds has Jailbreak and Rock In Peace. Especially weird that the former was left off, as it is a great song.

[RUSHHEAD666]

If any Bon record is erased before a Brian Johnson album I will puke.

Soul Stripper!

[RUSHHEAD666]

I think the "Jailbreak" Ep should be in the list.

Great song! That's on the Aussie original High Voltage album. I used to have all the original ACDC imports, but sold them a few years ago. TNT and Let There Be Rock were cool gatefolds

I still have them all Allen! In a cool box set. Also on rare vinyl!!!

[Malignant Narcissist]

I seem to have the Aussie Let there be rock. Not with gatefold sleeve though :-(

Crabsody's a fun tune. I can't imagine it with Problem Child - one of fave songs off Dirty Deeds. I love it when they crank it out on the live 'If you've want blood'.

 

To be honest, I can't really choose between the run from Let there be rock to Back in Black. Obviously BIB is the smooth/well-oiled-machine-production version of ACDC but the previous ones are the dirty, sweaty rockers that got them there. Love the 1st 2 and For those too but just a tad behind the rest for me.

Well, get your bucket ready. Back In Black will probably make it to the finals.

People like me make your collectibles more valuable, lol!

A fair assessment. ACDC, Zep, Police, Van Halen...Rush, of course. What other bands have such a strong run of five or six albums?

Those first 5 Kansas albums are killer

[Lurkst]

Dirty Deeds the weakest of the remaining LPs for me.

 

[goose]

Dirty Deeds the weakest of the remaining LPs for me.

Probably the right choice.

 

I love Ain't No Fun, There's Gonna Be Some Rockin and Love At First Feel, but I don't see them being rated very high by most other folks, and I understand why. They aren't very dynamic. Big Balls is as adolescently silly as AC/DC got, and that's saying something, lol.

[The Analog Cub]

Big Balls is something only they could get away with, and have it be a decent rock song, and only with Bon Scott.

 

I prefer DDDDC to Powerage but I'm in the minority I'm sure.

[The Analog Cub]

Of what's left I'm gunning for Back in Black to win it all. Perfect album

[Rick N. Backer]

None of these albums are "bad." None of the ones that have been eliminated are either.

I like all the Bon Scott albums pretty equally. Each has its own character. To your point about Big Balls...

Incredible album. I remember hearing "Big Balls" for the first time in my bedroom. I had to rewind it and play it again. Epic. BON SCOTT RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
