      Flick of the Switch should have been the follow-up album to Back in Black. It has the same feel and the substance and Power that Back in Black has. Not quite as strong but it's all there. AC DC were way too over ambitious when it came to For Those About to Rock. What's For Those About to Rock have besides the title track and a few somewhat Rockin Tunes like Let's get it Up and I put the finger on You and you can throw a Snowballed in there and that's about it. Go get Flick of the Switch and listen to it. It's much closer to Back in Black and once again definitely should have been the follow-up to Back in Black. Flick of the Switch is seriously underrated.

    I always loved “Powerage” the most. I think “sin city” is a beast of a song. As a guitar player I still enjoy putting this album on and jamming along. They are all great to play along to. Try to do what Malcolm does for an hour. Angus was the star on stage but Malcolm held the rhythm guitar down so tight that he deserves major props. I used to dream about what gig I would take if I could replace one rock star and Mal was my choice. Just bobbing your head and cranking out the rhythm in front of a wall of Marshall stacks.

    Powerage wins out for me as it is the bluesiest album with my favorite song, Down Payment Blues followed by Gimme a Bullet; two awesome tunes with every other song being something I can listen to on repeat without skipping. Dirty Deeds always seemed under rated in my opinion. Ride On, Ain't No Fun, Squeeler,, as a "B" side type of guy, this album was the mother load. The songs that got air play are really the ones I don't listen to anymore. Highway to Hell had to be there for Touch To Much, Walk All Over You, and Night Prowler; Pure Classics. Back In Black don't get much listening to by me anymore but this album had such an impact on me. It came out when I was 10-11 and it changed me. Razors Edge is so under rated but almost every tune kicks ass. Their last great in my opinion. All the stuff after Razors Edge kinda seem like a blend of the same type of song for the most part. I have them but rarely pick them up anymore. In any event, AC/DC kicks ass and is one of my favorite bands. Seen them over 20 times and will continue to as long as they are willing to tour.

    This is a very well thought through list for a non-Australian who didn't get exposed to the first two albums as we did in Australia. Love your work Pete. The Australian version of TNT (not released in America) is mind-blowing. Its a shame they have not performed Its A Long Way To The Top since the death of Bon. I'd really like to hear them do that one more time.

    I absolutely LOVE "Shot Down in Flames." Hey Pete, Where is Nugent? We NEED Ted Nugent!

    My fav's: (1) Back in Black, (2) For Those About To Rock, (3) Flick of the Switch. BIB and FOTS are great combinations of just enough studio with rawness. Regardless, AC/DC is an incredible band!! Thanks for covering them!

    One of my favorite bands. I personally prefer the Brian Johnson era honestly, but respect and love Bon for the legend he is. AC/DC represents the true spirit of Rock n Roll.
    Least to best for me (going by the international version for the early Bon Scott records):
    Razor's Edge
    Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
    Stiff Upper Lip
    Back in Black
    Ballbreaker
    High Voltage
    Rock or Bust
    Let There Be Rock
    Powerage
    For Those About to Rock
    Black Ice
    Highway to Hell
    Blow Up Your Video
    Flick of the Switch
    Fly on the Wall
    Yes, Fly on the Wall is my favorite. It gets a lot of shit and I don't know why. To me it's a kick ass record with a lot of balls.

    Summer of 1977 I’m 9 years old growing up on the west side of San Antonio Tx n my neighbors Joe n Roy in their early teens.. I’m in their room looking thru their album collection n I see the album cover of Let There Be Rock and I recall saying AC/DC.. in awe of the album cover they looked over at me n told me play it.. I put the needle on Let There Be Rock and instantly became one of their biggest fans...

      Bill H thx my sister n my other neighbor, Reymundo from across the street were Judas Priest fanatics, my younger brother Eddie was u guessed it Maiden fan...Moses from down the street was big on Sabbath, my brother from another mother Mike was Van Halen, my best friend Martin was into Pink Floyd and his brother was into Scorpions..
      My sister n I managed to get to the third row of AC/DC’s Flick of the Switch tour at the old Hemisphere Arena when Angus came out into the crowd a roadie knocked my sister into the ground. As I checked on her to see if she was ok, she was so excited because she had somehow managed to grab Angus by his shoe and was trying to take off for a souvenir and that’s why the roadie pushed her to the ground LOL..,that’s her brush with fame 😂😂
