I've always loved Fly on the Wall...I always thought it was highly underrated... Its in my top 3 AC/DC albums...but as I always say...to each his own.
I respect your take. Thank you for watching my ranking.
@metallic thunder it might move up a few spots if I were to do a new ranking video later this year. None of my rankings are etched in stone.
Same!
a lot of songs are great, and i love the visuals. when watching the music videos, it!s weird, because for once it seems like the camera isn’t focusing on the band as much.
1. Powerage
2. Back In Black
3. Highway to Hell
4. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
5. Let There Be Rock
6. High Voltage
7. Flick of The Switch
8. The Razors Edge
9. For Those About to Rock
10. Power Up
11. Ballbreaker
12. Blow Up Your Video
13. Stiff Upper Lip
14. Rock or Bust
15. Black Ice
16. Fly On The Wall
Great list! It’s close to my list. Thanks for watching my video. Did you like seeing the album covers flash up on the screen?
Shit man I love Fly on the Wall... big time underrated!
I always relisten to these albums and it could move up in the rankings in the future, but I’ve never connected with that album.
It’s fucking shite
Blow Up Your Video isn't a bad album, but I love the hell out of For Those About To Rock. Spellbound is a bit of a hidden gem from that album.
I agree. Spellbound is a great song.
Spellbound is that Hidden Gem 💎 in my top 20 AC/DC Songs
@michaelhcnyl it’s a good song.
Back in Black #1, Powerage #2, Flick of the Switch #3, For Those About to Rock #4 and to finish my top 5 is Let there be Rock. Bon was a legend and great front man but man you got to give it to Brian Johnson who had the courage and the big ass balls to step up and in and wrote the lyrics to the best rock album of all time and a top 3 album seller of any genre.
Yes, Brian Johnson is a great next man up and has been their front man for 43 years.
New to your channel. Enjoyed your ranking and views. Concise and to the point. Thanks.
You’re welcome. I like to cut the boring parts to keep the video moving for the viewer. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
Good ranking I won't give away my ranking til I do my own video! But enjoyed yours!
Cool, I will check it out. I read this earlier this morning without my reading glasses on and I thought that you were referring to the band Ghost. 😆
16. Rock or bust
15. Black Ice
14. Blow Up Your Video
13. Stiff Upper Lip
12. High Voltage
11. Power Up
10. Fly On the Wall
9. Ballbreaker
8. Razors Edge
7. Dirty Deeds
6. For Those About to Rock
5. Highway to Hell
4. Let There Be Rock
3. Back in Black
2. Powerage
1. Flick of the Switch
The last 3 albums are almost tied but if I had to pick I'd choose them in that order. I'm not sure what it is about Flick of the Switch but I fell in love with the entire album when I first heard it and it still remains my favorite. I started listening to AC/DC in 2012 and while they're far from my favorite band these days due to my current musical interests, I can still listen to Flick of the Switch in one sitting and enjoy every minute of it. Same goes for Powerage. Back in Black is a little too overplayed and I got tired of it but I still admire the album for what it is and what it managed to accomplish.
I like it, those top two are still fresh because they weren’t overplayed.
I 100% agree with you on Flick Of The Switch. As a metal fan, I love the raw production. Also glad to see Fly On The Wall not ranked towards the bottom.
@@cernunnos5625 I’m also a metal fan these days which is probably the reason I like Flick so much as well. As far as Fly on the Wall goes, I love the album for the song writing because is has such a raw and powerful feel to it like flick of the switch does, but the effects on the vocals are just not really too good in my opinion. If the vocal effects weren’t there, Fly on the Wall would be in my top 5 easily.
You forgot their EP album Jailbreak
Nice Ranking!
Thank you

Great list! Thanks for taking the time to provide it.
Nice ranking
Thank you
Good job man.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
6:25 - The original Australian version of "Dirty Deeds" is the ULTIMATE "bad-boy" album! With the pool hall cover and two great tracks that did NOT appear on the US version: "rock in peace" and "jailbreak"! (Was that version ever given an official CD release in Australia?)
I know someone that has a cd of Dirty Deeds with the Australian cover art. I have Jailbreak ‘74 and Backtracks with those missing songs.
I have the Aussie release of Dirty Deeds on CD. Bought it sometime around year 2000 from Amazon.
@@wallofrock6725 I know someone that owns it, I like the cover art.
bought the Australian imports back in 70s Nottingham. cost an absolute fortune though. long gone i'm afraid. crabsody in blue was always a favourite on let there be rock (instead of a repeat of problem child), but too young to understand what it was really about
Hate to break it to you, but Powerage is the best
TNT
I can’t disagree with you, really.
In my ranking ‘powerage’ is the worst imo
In your opinion.
@@gogoyubari366 yes in my opinion
I enjoyed your review! Like John.G who commented a few days ago, I quit AC/DC after Flick of the Switch (except I did buy Who Made Who, which is mainly a compilation album, but the two songs on it from Fly On The Wall convinced me that the new material wasn’t up to the mark). Obviously it’s impossible not to have heard Heatseeker, Thunderstruck or Rock ‘n’ Roll Train but even those great songs didn’t make me give AC/DC’s new material a chance.
I still listened to the old stuff of course, but i didn’t listen to a new AC/DC album until Power Up, which has catchy songs, great production and a great vocal performance by Brian Johnson.
Inspired, I then went back to Fly on the Wall, having no recollection of the two songs included on Who Made Who. You do see a few people who comment that this is their favourite AC/DC album, but it’s almost universally panned. So an almost unbelievable 37 years after it was released I gave Fly on the Wall a try and do you know what, I didn’t think it was that bad at all. Reviewers complain about the lead vocals being too low in the mix, and it is on the title track, but the remainder of the album sounds okay to me. It’s as if some reviewers have only listened to the first track.
I don’t do resolutions, but after also listening to Rock or Bust (just once so far, which was unmemorable) I intend to work through the rest of the AC/DC catalogue this year.
In the meantime, if you are still with me, my top 3 albums are 1. Powerage, and I can’t separate the next two but I usually give as my 2 Back in Black to give Brian some love and then 3 Highway to Hell. To quote another favourite AC/DC track, those three albums leave me Spellbound ! 🇬🇧
I agree, those 3 albums are great. If I were to revise my ranking Fly On The Wall might move up 2 or 3 spots, recently someone said that he turned off the video when he saw what #16 was. 😆
@@excelsiormusicreviews it’s an occupational hazard when compiling a list like this that some people are bound to be upset ! 🤪
@@stewy62 yes, I’ve found that AC/DC fans are the most serious.
Brian's voice was the best during For Those About to Rock. If he maintained his voice that would have been splendid
@@eijiroinouye4115 very true, and now I believe he needs to retire unfortunately.
Fly on the wall, 74 Jailbreak, High voltage, Back in black, Powerage, For those about to rock are my favorites. A little nostalgic over Who made who and Blow up your video as well.
Right on, you like what you like. There are no wrong answers.
Great video! I mostly agree with the ranking, but I would rank "For those about to rock" and "The razor's edge" higher. I think having a strong opening track lays a more solid foundation to the album. Please rank the albums of my favorite band Judas Priest! 👍👍🤘😎
Excellent! Yes, believe it or not, I’ve been collecting the Judas Priest albums that I was missing and that ranking will be coming in a month or less.
Great List! Here's My Top 5 (But changes constantly)
#5 Let There Be Rock
#4 Back In Black
#3 Powerage
#2 T.N.T. (Australia) / High Voltage (U.S.A.)
#1 Highway To Hell
Your top 5 is hard to beat.
IMO, flick of the switch is my #2. All of the songs on that album are incredible. And fly on the wall deserves to be higher in my opinion. But, we all have opinions. Let there be rock is probably number #3 for me with highway at #4. I haven’t thought about a full list but that’s my top 4 (Back in black number #1). Oh and I also think razors edge is a bit over-rated but it does have some great songs on it, just too many songs for me.
That’s fair. Flick Of The Switch has a raw sound and no tracks that I ever skip.
Totaly agree mate👊👊.
BADLANDS is may the best song for me after For those about to rock we salute.
@@kjellesperas5132 badlands is so good I agree! Every song of that album is amazing
Powerage: Nothing else is even close except, of course If you want blood, which doesn't really belong on the list. Highway: By far the sweetest and tightest sound of them all, and all time classics like Beatin' around the bush, Get it hot and about eight more. Demerits for Mutt Mange. Dirty Deeds: Love at first feel, Ride on. End of story. Let there be rock: Fucking Dog eat dog and Overdose. High Voltage: The first birthday of the best rock and roll band of all time. Jailbreak: Malcom plays some lead. Back in Black and For those about to rock: The gold standard of hard rock for all time and space. The rest I haven't listened to in years.
I can’t disagree, Powerage is great and forever new.
I agree also Powerage - a stand out Big Time!
liked for sure, and I would agree with your rankings, I might have ranked For Those About to Rock a little higher but like you pointed out this gem had the unfortunate circumstance of following Back In Black OF WHICH I would say could be said of all the releases up to Razor's Edge...........but I think Load was Metallica's best stuff\,
having been a fan of Highway to Hell at the wee ol' age of 9 or 10 in '79, I clearly remember using my paper route money and buying the Back in Black album release in 1980-it was a double album deal with a AC/DC tshirt, the other album was Dirty Deeds, being so young I didnt know Bon Scott had died or was dead, I accidentally played the Hells Bells side first wanting to CRANK Back in Black which I had heard prior to purchase, we had a kick ass Marantz stereo and when that bell started gonging on 10(11!) instant hit!, but I favored Dirty Deeds AT THE TIME because I preferred the voice/singing of Bon Scott not knowing I was hearing two different singers,
my point is I'm positive on this memory and it was 1980-summer time if I'm not mistaken and school was about to start again, 1st day of school I wore my AC/DC tshirt as did about 8 others and we started singing Dirty Deeds at each other making that opening guitar riff noise with our mouths-BECAUSE the Dirty Deeds album was the prize in that deal
That’s a great and I’m happy that you have classic memories of this iconic band.
Very interesting list. I think that Ballbreaker could be a little higher. I agree that it is certainly not one of their best albums but it was the only one I bought it when it first came out and it just stuck with me. These are the only AC/DC albums I own, in the order I prefer them.
1. High Voltage
2. Back In Black
3. Let There Be Rock
4. Highway to Hell
5. Dirt Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
6. The Razor's Edge
7. Powerage
8. Ballbreaker
9. For Those About To Rock
10. Stiff Upper Lip
11.Blow Up Your Video
High Voltage is amazing, I agree.
I like your list but I would move "Fly on the wall" up to #9. It has great grooves & is highly underrated
If I did a deep dive of Fly On The Wall again it might move up a bit in the ranking.
AC/DC was my first favourite band. My friend across the street, who was a year older than me, started playing For Those About to Rock for me and I loved it. His younger brother loved Big Balls. I got FTAtR as a birthday present in 1982, when I turned 11. I soon got High Voltage and Dirty Deeds. AC/DC was my gateway into heavy metal. I had all but Let There Be Rock of their first eight albums. I thought Let There Be Rock was a live album because of the cover. I liked Flick of the Switch but it was my least favourite. Then came Fly on the Wall. It was okay. Then Blow Up Your Video, and I didn't buy another AC/DC album until Black Ice, which, I agree, is too long but has some great songs.
Thank you. As long as you’re listening to this great band every album is valid. Bon Scott was the best.
My top ten AC/DC studio albums:
1. Powerage
2. Highway to Hell
3. Let There Be Rock
4. Back in Black
5. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
6. High Voltage - International release
7. Flick of the Switch
8. The Razor's Edge
9. Black Ice
10. For Those About to Rock
Yep, that works for me.
My personal favorite is let there be rock. Its just the pure essence of the band, loud fast and pure rock energy
That’s a great album.
@Rammelhammer Damn!! Nice analogy. I never really thought about it like that but I love your take!!👍
Spot on!

2. For those about to rock
1. The razors edge
There you go, no wrong answers.
Pretty close to mine. I’d actually have Rock Or Bust or Ballbreaker last.
I really like Blow Up Your Video, it’s underrated. I’d also swap FTATR and Flick Of The Switch.
Great points, yes Flick Of The Switch could go up another spot if I gave it one more listen tomorrow. Thanks for watching the video and sharing your takes. This is a great band.
Top 3 for me are
3. Let There Be Rock
2. Back in Black
1. Powerage
Hey Chris! I'm with you. Those three would be my top three in that very order as well. Great minds think alike.
I've always loved the Powerage album. There are no weak tracks IMHO and they flow so well. My first concert was AC/DC in Nov 1979 on the Highway to Hell tour. They were great, no gimmicks just came on stage and played.
You can’t go wrong with those 3 for sure.
Very good job man . And the day we DC fans are agree, the band is over. For me it's For those about and Flick of . Just now, it's changes all the time.
BADLANDS NORWAY DC
Thank you. Yes, and my ranking might be a little different if I made a video today.
Dude how can you not mention one of the best live albums ever If You Want Blood You Got It!! I think it's number one in my book, back in black number 2. Give it a listen you will absolutely enjoy it!!
That’s a great live album, but I was only talking about studio albums. I actually mentioned that live album, ‘74 Jailbreak and Who Made Who just to say that I wasn’t including them, but I didn’t want the video to be too long and cut that section out from the beginning.
I'm glad that all of the Bon Scott albums were on the high end of the rankings. Loved their sound with him much more than Brian Johnson. I actually liked For Those About To Rock better than Back In Black personally, regardless of the album sales.
Yes, the Bon Scott era was the best.
tnt is a really good album and deserves to be high, but the original high voltage would probably rank last for me.
1. Powerage
2. Let there be rock
3. Highway to hell
4. Back in black
5. Fly on the wall

Great ranking! I like where Power Up landed too.
Nice Ranking!! I would only have to flip flop 4 albums to have the same list!🍻👍
@@chriskarley384 good deal, that works too.
My top 3: 1= Powerage, 2= For Those About To Rock, 3= Flick of the Switch.
Powerage is certainly their most underrated album for sure.
great ranking album... personally I put Highway to Hell in 1st place 👍🎸
Yes, that’s a great album for sure.
@@excelsiormusicreviews it's sure: Highway to Hell and Back in Black are the 2 best albums of the group... their best period
@@mjack7445 I absolutely agree.
Here in the UK, there was a similar situation during the Bon Scott era of import-only albums, different Aussie and UK versions of the same album. The albums I keep coming back to decade after decade are Highway To Hell, High Voltage and Powerage. Back in Black was a triumph as a comeback album - many fans at the time were sceptical that Bon Scott could ever be replaced, and Brian Johnson had a lot to prove - but for my money it still doesn't top the best Bon Scott albums.
Yes, I like Bon Scott more, but Brian Johnson kept the band going for over 40 years and is a decent second best.
I think all AC/DC albums are great, but I tend to gravitate to the earlier catalogue, as I became a fan in 1982. Albums like "Highway to Hell", "Back in Black", "High Voltage" and "Let There be Rock" rank high for me, as does "Powerage". Incidently, the Australian catalogue such as TNT, is no longer officially in print. The International catalogue is now distributed worldwide after Columbia acquired the back catalogue from Atlantic. All the missing tracks from the Aussie releases are made available on the box set, "Backtracks". My no.1 pick is "Let There be Rock".
Yes, I have Backtracks. High Voltage is so high for me because of the TNT tracks for sure. Bon Scott is hard to beat for me too. You know this already, but 4 of the songs from the Australian High Voltage were on ‘74 Jailbreak.
@@excelsiormusicreviews '74 Jailbreak is a great EP that deserves the same credit as the full length albums.
@@mark_beastpriest5539 yes, Pete Pardo from Sea Of Tranquillity included it on his AC/DC ranking, but I didn’t want to include an EP just studio albums. I almost mentioned it along with If You Want Blood You’ve Got It and Who Made Who, but I didn’t want the video to run too long.
My Top 6 - 1. Highway To Hell 2. Powerage 3. Back In Black 4. Let There Be Rock 5. High Voltage 6. Dirty Deeds
That’s a great top 6!
16: Blow Up Your Video
15: Rock or Bust
14: Black Ice
13: The Razors Edge
12: Stiff Upper Lip
11: For Those About to Rock
10: Powerage
9: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
8: Power Up
7: High Voltage
6: Ballbreaker
5: Highway To Hell
4: Flick Of The Switch
3: Back In Black
2: Let There Be Rock
1: Fly On The Wall
Love all albums in the top 10, and the others are not bad! Also Let There Be Rock and Fly on the Wall share 1st place!
Good deal. Sorry, that I didn’t respond earlier, UA-cam hides the comments from me sometimes.
@@excelsiormusicreviews No worries! Great review (though my list is better ;))
I can't tell what good production is all about to be honest.
Always hard to rank this catalogue, But last year I came up with this:
Back In Black
Let There Be Rock
Powerage
Highway To Hell
TNT
Dirty Deeds
Flick Of The Switch
High Voltage
For Those About To Rock
Fly On The Wall
Razor's Edge
Power Up
Black Ice
Stiff Upper Lip
Blow Up Your Video
Rock Or Bust
Ballbreaker
I feel if I did this today Power Up would be higher.
This a great list. It’s a little different from my list, but not far off. I like that Powerage is #3. Thanks for watching.
Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't think too much of Ballbreaker! Never been able to connect with that one---far as their 90s output, I think it's actually overrated.
1. Let there be rock
2. Highway to hell
3. Back in Black
4. High Voltage
5. Powerege
That’s a great top 5 for sure.
Highway To Hell, Back In Black, Powerage, Let There Be Rock, High Voltage
Yep, those are great albums. An untouchable top 5 from AC/DC.
Shocking list tbh
Some have moved up since I filmed this. What’s your top 5?
ranking their albums would be very difficult but i think highway is #1. back in black and those about to rock are up there. let there be rock is pure rock n roll. black ice was good, powerup is good. all of them are good. flick of the switch way under rated. i also like stiff upper lip and rock or bust that no one mentioned
Yes, they don’t have a lot of duds, but maybe some average ones in my opinion.
I don’t know what it is about AC/DC and Blue Öyster Cult, but their latest albums are as enjoyable as the classics.
Yes, it’s great that legacy bands are still giving it their all. I’ve heard that some of the newer Deep Purple albums are good, but not the covers album.
@@excelsiormusicreviews The covers album of Deep Purple is amazing. I Listen to it all the time. :)
Back in Black for sure. Eforthless
I agree
Yeah, I would probably rank Back in Black at #5, with Powerage and Highway at #1,#2.. High Voltage at #3, and Let There Be Rock at #4, probably due to the fact that I was listening to AC/DC for 4 years before Back in Black came out.. I bought the first 2 albums without ever hearing the band before.. because the albums looked cool..
Right on, every ranking is valid as long as you’re listening to this Legendary band.
Loved fly on the wall
That’s cool. If I give it a few more listens it might go up, but I don’t have any nostalgia for it though. I’m just ranking it on the music.
I really like blow up your video, not every track but most of them Heatseeker, that's the way I wanna rock n roll, ruff stuff and my favourite Brian Johnson era song Two's up, never tire of that track, my number 1 would be Let there be rock, not a bad song on it, a true classic.
That’s cool, the ones that I have ranked higher than it are hard to beat imo though.
1. Powerage
2. High Voltage
3. Highway to hell
Let there be rock
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
Back and Black
For those about to rock
Flick of the switch
Everything else you can put it the way you want
Right on, that works for me.
Yessss. A smart man knows that Bon rules and Powerage is the pinnacle
@@Strimbles right on
To each his own but good grief. Highway to Hell is pure AC/DC (Love Hungry Man is the hidden gem here IMO and Phil swings on this one and I'm a huge Phil Rudd fan), Let there be Rock is AC/DC at it's rawest best and my favorite songs to see them play live, Back in Black, can't knock it from track first to last near perfection. Not as raw as Let there be Rock but the songs are unreal (Givin' the Dog a Bone is the hidden gem). Every other album however you want to rate them all had great individual songs on them but those three I mentioned for me are the top three. The one I've listened to and played along on drums most with though is Let there be Rock. Hell ain't a Bad place to Be, Bad Boy Boogie, Overdose, Go Down. To me that album is AC/DC to the bone.
Yes, my top five or six are all great and could go in any order and work for me. True, all of their albums have at least 2 or 3 outstanding songs.
He also forgot if you want blood you got it😢
I love that live album, but I was only ranking their studio albums.
My fave is Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap really love Ride On also title track
I love that album too. Ride On was the last song that Bon Scott ever recorded, he did a re-recording with a French band a little bit before he died.
The top 7 are must have albums.
Absolutely
Группа творит Историю, они Великие, однажды протёр джинсы под Рифы Диси, колени горели
This is pretty hard, cuz even weaker tracks fall within their formula. So what's that tiny percentage of difference that makes some stand out? Beats me. But they're consistently pretty damn solid.
16 Power Up*** I haven't really gotten to this yet. I can't accurately place it.
15 Flick of the Switch. I love Guns for Hire, not much else.
14 stiff upper lip. Title track is cool. Not much else memorable
13 Ballbreaker...Hard as a Rock
12 Black Ice. RnR Train is awesome. Not much else stands out ti me.
11 Dirty Deeds
10 High Voltage
9 Blow up your video
8 Fly on the Wall
7 The Razors edge
6 Rock or Bust. My sons and I absolutely love this, covet to cover
5 Powerage
4 for those about to rock
3 Let there be Rock
2 Highway to Hell
1 Back in Black
This is a solid ranking! I can’t help but to put the Bon Scott albums higher on my list though.
Always liked Fly on the wall, if it had been better produced it would have been better received
True, I may have been a little too harsh on that album.
I think it's perfect. My personal favorite.
The songs are good, but there is too much echo on the vocals for me,but fuck! it's AC-DC!!!
Can’t disagree with the top 2. Both are perfect album imho. All killer not a hint of filler.
Excellent! Thank you for watching and listening to this great band.
H2H is my #1 but there's a reason people get burnt out on the albums they do and it's because they're very good albums.
I agree, we play them over and over again because they’re great and we need a break from them after a number of years to avoid burnout. H2H is Bon Scott’s best for sure.
Highway to Black
Favorite Bon era Powerage
Favorite Brian era Flick Of The Switch
Two great albums for sure.
Powerage, let there be rock , highway to hell are the best. Fly on the wall doesnt deserve to be last. Its better than any of the newer stuff
And Flick of the switch is very underrated. Id put it way higher
Yes, at the time Fly On The Wall was last, but now it has moved up a little bit for me. Flick of the Switch might go up slightly, but nothing other than Back in Black can move past the Bon Scott albums.
i think for me ‘powerage,‘highway and ‘let there be rock all play better start to finish which all have excellent equally quality great songs☝🏻were as’back in black is a little bit up and down in regards to consistency to be ranked NO1😩
That’s cool, those are great albums too.
If Brian Johnson sang with the same voice that he sang with when he was with Goerdie, would that have been great as well❓️
I’ve actually never heard any of the Geordie albums, are they good?

@@magicbus63 that’s cool. I own Who Made Who, but I wanted to stick to the studio albums. Some people have put Live albums in their ranking, whatever works for you.
@@excelsiormusicreviews Who Made Who is a studio album
@@Cookie-hg4xb I have to respectfully disagree, it’s a hits collection/ movie soundtrack with the title track, D.T. and Chase The Ace being the only new songs, how is that a studio album?
My fav is Flick of the switch.
That’s a great ‘80s album.
Back in black is number one then there's all the rest
I agree with you completely, Brian Johnson started out on fire and is a good second choice to Bon Scott.
Tenho todos em vinil .
Very cool! They’re all great to have on vinyl.
74 jailbreak ep 4 songs were on Australian high voltage album jailbreak on Australian dirty deeds
Yes, I skipped over some of that just to stick with the International studio albums.
Flick of the switch underrated... Top five
That’s a great album, I agree.
The song Flick of the Switch is AC/DC greatness.
How can you say Bon Scott is your favourite singer and then not pick him number 1? 😢
Because Back In Black is a Juggernaut of an album and one of the best ever made.
@@excelsiormusicreviews fair enough but I can’t put anything by Bon Scott lower than Brian.
Really think Powerage is better than Let There Be Rock?
Hmm... I have a similar top 5, but at slightly different order:
1. High Voltage
2. Back in Black
3. Highway to Hell
4. Let There Be Rock
5. Dirty Deeds
Powerage definitely clocks in at #6, tho! It's a great album.
Yeah, some people have Let There Be Rock at #1 and a few have Powerage at #1. I like that you have High Voltage at #1.
AC/DC has an album for every decade (pwrup included In 10´s album)
Jk, they all rock
That’s true. I wonder if Pwrup will be their last one. If so, it’s a good way to go out.
2:55 - I'd rank "Black Ice" a LOT higher! I think it's their second best with Brian Johnson...!
Good, I like that album too.
I think Black Ice and Rock or Bust are both fun as hell and whale!!!I love those songs!!👍
i am nearly same oponin with you...
Awesome! My list my change slightly if I were to rank them today, Fly On The Wall would move up a spot or two.
I wished mutt Lange would of produced Flick of the switch
Acdc did a good job
But it needed his touch
Me too. Some people prefer the rawness of that album, but his production is sorely missed.
Their performance of flick of the switch live is incredible
FLY IS A WICKED ALBLUM AN FLICK ....ITS BACK TO ROOTS HARD BLUES
Cool
If I had to generalize I would say every album including Back in Black and before is great. Everything after that is either OK or pretty dull. Just my opinion of course.
You’re not alone with that feeling, but still some good from Brian Johnson though.
1. POWERAGE!!!
2. Let There Be Rock
3. TNT (Aus)
4. Dirty Deeds (Aus)
5. Highway To Hell
6. If You Want Blood
7. High Voltage (Aus)
8. Back in Black
9. For Those About To Rock
10. Flick of The Switch
11-17 Whatever 😅
Powerage at #1, excellent!
@@excelsiormusicreviews I used to think I was unique having Powerage as my favorite LP even back in the 80's.... but as of late it seems it has become the big fan choice for #1
@@Strimbles yes, I think it grew on a lot of people because it never got overplayed.
Always been a tie between powerage or the let there be rock international version with crabsody in blue, I just can’t stand problem child
That’s cool, Powerage will never get old for me. I don’t mind Problem Child, but I don’t want to hear it very often.
for me Ac/ Dc 'died' after Mutt Lange got hold of them. The sound became more polished and more commercial for the American market. As such Highway To Hell was such a let-down after Powerage and especially Let There Be Rock. Aside from the odd track thereafter the band lost their 'balls' in favour of commercial success.
Fair enough, they certainly got more commercial with Mutt Lange.
HUH? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Highway! Best album of their career, IMHO. After that (well, okay.................after Back In Black) they became too hit-and-miss for me.
ALL BON SCOTT END OFF.
Yes, all in the top 6 for me.
This is how I rank them to which I also have the imported versions;
Let There Be Rock (Australian Release)
Powerage (European Release With Cold Hearted Man)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Australian Release With Full Length Version Of Title Track)
T.N.T. (Australian Release)
Highway To Hell
Back In Black
Black Ice
High Voltage (Australian Release)
Power Up
Flick Of The Switch
For Those About To Rock
Ballbreaker
Razor's Edge
Stiff Upper Lip
Rock Or Bust
Blow Up Your Video
Fly On The Wall
Right on, that’s a great list. I like the songs on the original Australian versions too.
Highway To Hell and Powerage tied for 1st!!
Those are great albums
Powerage.
Great album
Fly on the Wall has some good songs on it but the production is absolutely abysmal: Brian Johnson sounds like he is singing in next door’s outhouse; the drums sound awful, and the entire thing sounds like you’re listening on a pocket radio - for those who remember those things.
I agree. That’s a huge part of the problem with it.
Makes sense that he sounds like he's singing in an outhouse--he sounds constipated throughout that one!
Fly On The Wall slays…couldn’t disagree more. His vocals are great on that.
@@cernunnos5625 I respect your opinion
powerage and let there be rock is best
They’re great for sure.
Never got into powerage. Suffers being between two of their very best albums and the songs are not as memorable.
That’s true, but I think some people like it because it doesn’t have the songs that got overplayed on the radio. Some people like the deep cuts over the hits anyway.
He forgot who made who😢
I love Who Made Who, but it’s a compilation album and the soundtrack to Maximum Overdrive. I only wanted to rank their studio albums.
Some rankin had FLY at no. 1???!!!,i agree with u, it is bad
Thank you. One guy said that he turned the video off when he saw where FOTW was ranked.
1 . Flick of the Switch
2 . Highway to Hell
3 . The Razors Edge
4 . Back in Black
5 . High Voltage
6 . Powerage
7 . Let there be Rock
8 . Fly on the Wall
9 . Dirty Deeds
10 . For Thouse about
And all Albums after The Razors Edge are 4/10 !!!
Albums worst but Arena full😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That works for me. 🤘
After Flick of the Switch (which is better than FTATR), I quit listening to AC/DC. The albums from High Voltage to Flick is one of the best run of albums in rock period. After flick the albums are almost indistinguishable from one another. Brian's voice was gone, and the band with a few exceptions made the same music over and over without much energy.
Yes, I don’t blame you for ending there, it’s hard to beat those early albums.
Top 5! ✌️
1 Highway To Hell
2 Stiff Upper Lip
3 Back in Black
4 For Those About To Rock
5 Who Made Who
This works for me too. Great ranking!
#5 and #4 GOODBYE!🤣
You’ve got it right, there are no wrong answers as far as I’m concerned.
@@excelsiormusicreviews I know everyone has a different ranking. It's just that when I hear "Let there be Rock" at 5??? and think about the band Playing Those songs LIVE!!!!!!!!🤯Seriously!!!🙄Those songs ARE ROCK AND ROLL!!!
Seen a few people in America talking about Fly On The Wall saying Danger is one of the better songs on the album and it surprises me lol. Always hated it, the lyrics are stupid and it's just a by the numbers chugging filler track. There are underrated songs on that album but I really don't think that's one of them. 80's were a weird time for the band for song writing, sometimes they'd knock it out the park but often their hits would be padded on albums full of rubbish.
I can’t disagree with you. Danger was a single and video from that album and I have to mention it, but it’s not even in my top 40 of AC/DC songs.
