Back In Black

edited February 2006 in Other Music
This is truly one of the best rock and roll albums of all time.

Hells Bells!
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Yes, and I've discovered that it is the greatest CD to listen to while working out.

    i really love "Let Me Put My Love Into You"
    and "Hells Bells" is one of the greatest album openers ever!

    but you i must admit i actually prefer "Let there be Rock" and "Highway to Hell" more but still..this album rocks from start to finish.
    VH1's Back in Black special was also an awesome show.

    It's easily the best Brian Johnson album....but I agree....the Bon Scott era was top shelf.

    me neither. Back in Black and Moving Pictures play a serious role in my childhood.

    wasn't the songs and lyrics pretty much written before Scott died? just not recorded. I don't think Johnson really had to do much but sing. Imagine this album with Scott?

    Back in Black is a classic for sure. The songs are timeless. It's been what? 25 years now? The songs still kick my ass.
    On the whole I like Bon Scott better too, but how many bands out there were able to be as successful with a second lead singer as they were with their first, if not more? I can only think of one other, whose original singer I prefered as well, but still loved their stuff with lead man #2.
    I have to see AC/DC. I cannot believe I still have not.
    Flick of the Switch is my favorite Brian Johnson album.
    My favorite AC/DC song is hard to pinpoint, but I LOVE Jailbreak! He made it out.....with a bullet in his back! Jaaaaailbreak...

    Flick of the Switch is the best after Back in Black ( Johnson era) for sure. Seems to be a forgotten album, ive never seen it mentioned up there with AC/DC best albums which is a shame, really heavy stuff.
