I think I've owned all but 'Thriller' at some point in life! And still listen to them now!

A quarter century after this album's release, I still play the "triplet" on a regular basis when I need a boost of energy.

Hells Bells
Shoot To Thrill
Back In Black

Those three songs never get old. They still rock!

Pink Floyd's The Wall is misleading because it was a double-album. RIAA counts double albums twice so Pink Floyd actually only sold about 12 million copies of The Wall. Still not too shabby. But I mention it only because Dark Side Of The Moon should legitimately be called Pink Floyd's biggest selling album as 15 million copies of that one was sold.

Thriller?

Serviceable pop, to be sure, but badly out of place in that group.

If I could only own one AC/DC album, it would be "Highway to Hell." "Back in Black" would be my second choice (on "Back in Black," my fav song is "What do you do for money, Honey?")

Great band and great album. Brian Johnson's best work. While it's not AC/DC's best work, I can listen to it straight through without hearing a weak song. No filler.

Their best is off of the Bonfire boxset. Two of the CD's from that are from a 1979 concert with Bon Scott. "Let There Be Rock/Live in Paris".

Best to average list IMO
1. Bonfire Box set(Two live sets, a reissue of Back in Black, and unreleased songs)
2. Let there be Rock
3. High Voltage
4. Highway to Hell
5. Powerage
6. Back in Black
7. If you want Blood (Live W Bon Scott)
8. Dirty Deeds
9. 74 Jailbreak
10. Live (Brian Johnson 92) 11. Ballbreaker
12. Fly on the Wall
13. Who Made Who
14. The Razor's Edge
15. For those about to Rock
16. Stiff upper Lip
17. Blow up your video
18. Flick of the Switch.

The best stuff was pre Back in black.

Well, the best days of just about any great band are the early days, when they broke through the prevailing trends to stand out. I was a huge fan of U2 when they first got airplay here in the States, but not so much now. They're decent, but back in the early eighties, they were a breath of fresh air. The megaselling, world famous, politically powerful group now could never create anything with the raw energy and excitement of "Out of Control," "Rejoice," or "Two Hearts Beat As One."

I recently purchased my first mp3 player, a 128 MB $30 closeout that nearly cracked open with the first 48 hours of use. But it still works, warts and all, and now have to decide what songs to stuff in it. Currently, I have Sponge, Meco (yes, THAT Meco), Weird Al Yankovic (when I really need some laughs at work), Adam Ant, Oscar-winning composer Bill Conti's Rocky soundtrack, and my current favorite band, Puffy AmiYumi.

I still think of AC/DC as a guilty pleasure due to the devilish themes in their music. But any rock fan whose blood isn't pumped by "Hell's Bells" is already dead.

As I was listening to the chill-inducing track "Going The Distance" on the Rocky soundtrack (see above post), I was trying to figure out which songs contain the most musical adrenaline. Both "Distance" and "Gonna Fly Now" fit into that category, and so do songs like Queen's "We Will Rock You," The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop," The Call's "I Still Believe," and LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out."

Any nominees?

Excellent thread, you can all "Have A Drink On Me" and lets try "Given The Dog A Bone" while we are having so much fun.

Okay, I'll stop "Beatin Around The Bush" and tell you all my favorite AC/DC song, its "Let There Be Rock".

I'll probably get "Shot Down Flames" for this post but then again I have always been a "Problem Child" but I "Shoot To Thrill" while keeping a "Stiff Upper lip"

Well "Hells Bells" that was such a lame post! lol

Well-deserved if highly belated, much like their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
