Heh. Here it goes

The "Blender Approved"

Back in Black
Highway to Hell
If you want Blood

Surprised IYWB is this high. All got 5 stars

The "Great" albums

Let there Be Rock
Powerge

When they did this, I thought Powerage would get ranked 1 lower. Both
albums got 4 stars though. Sure they are worthy of 5, but I'll take 4
stars considering who made the list.

"Check it out"

High Voltage
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
For Those about to Rock

all got 3 stars. I like to think FTATR deserves 4.

"Be Careful" albums

The Razor's Edge
Live
Ballbreaker
Flick of the Switch

The first three albums here got 3 stars. Flick only got 2 stars.

"For Fans only"

Blow Up your Video
Stiff Upper Lip
Fly on the Wall
Who Made Who

Stiff and BUYV got 2 stars, other 2 albums got 1 star.

BUYV sucks, it didn't deserve a star at all. Stiff Upper Lip we all
like, but I really can see how casuals would not like it.

The biggest joke is the placements of SUL and Flick, especially
considering that Ballbreker got 3 stars. That's fucking laughable.

Here's my quick list

The Great:

BIB
Flick
Powerage
FTATR
LTBR
HTH
SUL
IYWB

The good (I could list just about all as great, but I'll be semi:
reasonable)

TNT
Dirty Deeds
The Razors Edge
Live 2CD


The Decent:

Ballbreaker
Fly on the Wall
Who Made Who

The bad:

High Voltage (I don't like much of it, Aussie version that is)

The steaming shit that should never have been produced:

Blow Up Your CD player (after hearing this crappy album)

Well mark me up as a "casual."

No kidding! I can't believe Flick is that low.

Hmm. More stuff

- apparently Powerage was Keith Richards favorite album by them.

-They considered Rock Your heat out a top 20 track ever **

-They lsited Touch Too Much as a standout track on HTH. (w/HTH and
SDIF)

-They do NOt list Whole Lotta Rosie as a standout on LTBR. (wtf?)

-They DID ist UTMNiY as one for Powerage, but no DPB.

-The SUL Live DVD got 4 stars

This shithead listed Nervous Shakedown as the standout on flick, so i
think he just never listen to the album more than 3 times. (wouldn't
call it the standout track by any means)

I'd been waiting for this a while, so I'm going to nitpick it. To each
their own I guess, the list isn't THAT bad.

** - haha, only joking. I'd cancel my subscription if they did that.

Interesting. Here's where I would go with it:

5 star AC/DC records:

Highway to Hell
Back in Black
Let There Be Rock

The "great"

For Those About to Rock ****1/2
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ****
Live (yeah, gotta put it here, where else are you going to get damn near
every song you want)****


"check it out" (I'd rate 'em all between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 stars)

Powerage ***1/2
If You Want Blood ***
Fly On The Wall *** 1/2
The Razors Edge *** 1/2
Who Made Who ***
Stiff Upper Lip *** 1/2
Blow Up Your Video ***
High Voltage ** 1/2
Flick of the Switch ** 1/2

And the only one I'd rate below 3 stars:

Ballbreaker **
