Best AC/DC Album
« on: April 23, 2009, 10:45:38 AM »
Come on then, what's the best?

I'm going for Powerage
Second Back in Black

I've not got them all so need to see if I'm missing any gems....

If You Want Blood (the Bon Scott era live album) is the best by far in my opinion  :D

Purely studio albums, it has to be Back in Black.

I've not got all albums either but my favourite is "If you want blood... you've got it" live album. Love playing along to it. Such great raw aggressive tones and playing.

Back in Black is probably second for me but Black Ice is growing on me more and more.

Did anyone see them at Manchester on Tuesday? It was a fantastic show! Sure it was predictable with the same stage props (cannons, big inflatable Rosie etc) but that's what I went to see and it was very entertaining. Too bad we had the cr@ppiest seats in the house but the band played great. Good mixture of old classics and new material.

Back In Black for me, but it depends on what your personal preference is, most die hard AC/DC fans would probably think it was sacrilege to pick an album without the original singer Bon Scott.

If you want blood... gets my vote :D

I'd be hard pressed to nominate a studio album as "better than all the others" though.

Back in Black is up there, Highway To Hell would easily have beaten it (for me, that is) if production-wise it wasn't the "almost-there" transition between the old sound and the more commercial sound they peaked with on BiB... Probably my favourite studio album is Powerage though... (that's the one I listen to most, anyway :lol:)

Powerage
Back In Black
If You Want Blood
Highway To Hell

Then generally any Bon album in preference to the Brian albums (sorry Brian...).  I like the very early albums because they're a bit more varied in style (but also a bit more patchy).

I can't decide.

I'm going to have to make it a tie between Powerage and Back In Black.

Black Ice is in my AC/DC top 5. Great album.

I dont like Black in Black much either because I get sick of the vocals. So annoying.

As the obvious ones have been said, in the spirit of the OP looking for hidden gems:

Check out Flick of the Switch. Much underrated and with some great sounds. Much rawer than BiB. Self produced, wasn't it?

Also Stiff Upper Lip, was, IMO, a return to form, with a great blues-club feel to it. Quite laid back, and with better (if simpler) set of songs.

Don't forget Who Made Who for some instrumentals. Also 74 Jailbreak and...oh, anything really.

BTW, if the guy asked for your favourite albums, how negative is it to chime in with the album you don't like? What's the point dude?  :wink:
