Alright, I am new to the whole blogging thing and all its protocols etc. So I have to be upfront that I am basically hijacking this topic from a fellow blogger. Who you should check out! http://everyrecordtellsastory.com/ I like his stuff!
Anyway his topic was basically regarding what is the worst AC/DC album of all time. I am revising the premise a bit because I think most people I know and certainly my thoughts are everything after “For Those About to Rock” although there are some gems is a huge jump the shark for the Aussies.
So give it to me! What you got? Write your thoughts down below.
I’ll save my answer til after a few replies.
Just a disclaimer. I am a huge AC/DC fan just curious which of their earlier releases does not stack up in other fans minds.
All apologies to “Every Record Tells A Story” If I stepped on any toes! Love to have you weigh in as well!
Cheers!
Mike, you can hijack my blog whenever you like! For what it’s worth, I think the weakest album there is “For Those…” because title track and maybe one other track aside, I think the band sound neutered and constrained by Lange’s production. Cheers.
Man … “For Those About to Rock” … can’t really remember specifics, but that was the last AC/DC record I bought … it turned me off that much!
I would have to agree with “For Those About to Rock” I like it, but every other album in my opinon is better.
Wow, unanimous so far, you all think For Those About to Rock is worst. I was thinking Dirty Deeds. A few great songs and some of their worst material ever as well.
But which is their best? My latest blog post asks this more positive question…
What do you think?
Definitely a more positive question! I was picturing me and a few friends, all AC/DC fans discussing which album does not quite stack up to the others. It is a valid question, but, yeah in this format maybe a bit negative sounding. I think ‘Best’ is an easier question. Almost no doubt Back in Black is their pinnacle, their most classic, best selling, best written and produced. Although as a fan I could argue Highway to Hell and I love the others too but Dirty Deeds still has a few clunkers.
