Recommend me some good AC/DC tracks

[steve_1979]

Hi everyone

I've liked them for ages but I've only just bought my first AC/DC album today. :rockout:

AC/DC have never released a 'greatest hits' album so I've just bought the Iron Man 2 movie soundtrack compilation instead. It was only £3.75 from Amazon.

Are there any other really good tracks/albums that aren't on this CD which I should look out for as well? :?

Interesting...

How did I manage to miss that?

:rofl:

AC/DC have done some really good stuff. Production values tend to be high too, so great sound quality. The 1st track on the above album is my favourite - Thunderstruck.

Thunderstruck is my favourite track too closely followed by 'Highway to Hell' and 'Back in Black'.

Can't go wrong with the Back in Black album! Always try out the bigger speakers with that.

You missing a lot of good stuff...

But AC/DC is better live so I'd recommend the the 'Let there be rock - live in Paris" (Blu ray or the album 'If you want blood you've got it' which is an audio recording from that show), the 'Live at Donnington' (excellent stuff) and the 'No bulls' which was recorded during the Ballbreaker tour in Spain.

I couldn't find that one anywhere. There is an AC/DC 'Hells Hits' album but from what I've read in the reviews it's a dodgy Russian bootleg album. It's a bit pricey too at £15.

I'm listening to the Iron Man 2 soundtrack on YouTube at the moment and loving it. :dance:

The albums to own are a few either side of Bon Scott's death (another Kirrie lad ). So basically:

Highway to Hell
If You Want Blood... (the live album)
Back in Black
For Those About to Rock

All the rest you can ignore (IMO)

 

[John Duncan]

Oh yes there is a classic Donington set, not sure if it's that one ^^

 

[steve_1979]

Let there be rock - live in Paris

Live at Donnington

No bulls

Highway to Hell

If You Want Blood... (the live album)

Back in Black

For Those About to Rock

Thanks everyone.

I'll give these a listen on YouTube over the weekend (shame they're not on Spotify ).

Looks like High Voltage is a Russian Bootleg too. http://www.discogs.com/ACDC-Warning-High-Voltage-Greatest-Hits/release/2471386

The Iron Man 2 compilation looks good, it's pretty much got all the ones I like on. Back in Black is the only 'proper' album I have. When my new speakers turn up I might have to drag the Bluray player out of retirement and give one of the live ones a blast.

I've listened to Iron Man 2 all the way through and apart from the song 'Cold Hearted Man' every track on it is really good.

I just add one more:

1975 TNT ooooh great album!

I'm from 71, and i have two older brothers, bottom line, i was raised listening to AC/DC. 8)

I turn out OK, i think... :roll:

Back in Black is an absolute classic, as previously mentioned, however, give Overdose a spin, track 6 on Let There be Rock, DC's fourth studio album (1977).

I've heard this track a thousand times but it still makes the hair on my neck stand up. The recording's a little bright but the intro is amazing, and it's a great example of their early, raw, crashing sound.

Dog Eat Dog and Go Down are fantastic and Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be is great too.

Angus at his best IMHO. :rockout:

ENJOY!

+1

And the "If You Want Blood You've Got It" live album.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

AC/DC Bu-ray live at Donington is brilliant!

this was the first album I listened to on my adm40s. The start of Hells Bells was my reason.

A favourite recent track is WAR MACHINE.

i do agree though, that Live is the best way to listen to them, I have the same feeling about Iron Maiden (pretty much most rock, really)

 

[ACE92]

I agree with all the previous posters, back in black is a fantastic album from start to end, and out of the vinyls I have is one of the best sounding.
The Iron man 2 soundtrack (though very few of the songs on it featured in the film!) lives in my car CD plater, I think its a really good collection of their hits, 'specially shoot to thrill and thunderstruck
