I'll admit I've been digging hard on those first few Brian Johnson-era albums lately.




:nice:

Flick of the Switch is probably the most under-appreciated album in their entire catalog (Brian OR Bon)...

I just learned that Back in Black is the second best selling album EVER behind only Thriller. I had no idea. That’s fucking amazing.

We have a standing rule at our house that if ever Rock and Roll ain't Noise Pollutiion comes on I am allowed to play it at 11 regardless of time or situation.

All credit to my wife, she has stood by me on the few occasions I have taken the opportunity to wake the neighbours when it's come up on shuffle.

She's a keeper.

I only learned relatively recently that Bon Scott's famous 1974 motorcycle accident, which indirectly led to him joining AC/DC, happened right near my house, on the street that adjoins ours.

While others might question this logic, to me it makes good, good sense.

If I can ever finish this Genesis deep dive, I’m thinking AC/DC will be next.

I think this is a grand idea.

Started today. High Voltage- 1974 (Australia/New Zealand only)

Nothing really remarkable. Hints of licks that will come later. Everything really sounds similar to most other guitar-based rock of the era. Foghat, Thin Lizzy, Grand Funk, BOC, KISS, all are in a similar mindset. One has a longer, composed intro a la Boston or Kansas and then goes into an acoustic ballad titled Love Song. Not good. I guess the most interesting tune/riff is You Ain’t Got A Hold On Me.

Pretty forgettable album, but I guess there’s enough for the diehards to think it would be cool to get one of them at a show.

TNT- 1975 (Australia only)

Starts off with the baddest ass rock ‘n’ roll tune to feature the bagpipes, It’s A Long Way To The Top, and then we hear that song over and over again. The riffs on this seem to have a different attitude than the the first album, but they’re practically all the same. All but 3 songs are the same tempo and 5 out of the 9 tracks are variations on the same theme the opening number provides. Other than the 3 swing/boogie/blues beat tunes, the only riff that sounds remotely different is the title track, TNT. I’m starting to get the idea that their popular cuts are popular simply because they’re different from all the sameness.

This one does have 2 of their most classic tracks, but other than those, no real reason for any repeat listens.

Next up: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 1976- Australia, New Zealand, Europe- only release.

I don’t think I can do any more of this. Everything just sounds so alike.
