This is without doubt the greatest AC/DC album of all time in terms of sales alone. Musically I think its predecessor is better but it is a close run thing. Against the backdrop of the loss of Bon Scott and the arrival of Brian Johnson. The album nearly didn't get made at all. The album opens ominously with Hells Bells which has become a classic of the band's live show. The track is also featured in the soundtrack to the Stephen King film Maximum Overdrive. Next we have Shoot To Thrill which is another classic and has made it into film in Iron Man 2. What Do YOu Do For Money Honey is typical AC/DC fare. Given The Dog A Bone is the weakest track on the album for me. Then we have another cheeky innuendo laden song which would become the trademark of the Brian Johnson era. Let Me Put My Love Into You is yet again classic AC/DC. Then we get a set of the most famous guitar chords in history as we move into the title track. This is a genuine classic track. Then we have another saucy little number. You Shook Me All Night Long is a track about a night spent with a beautiful woman. The video which I saw on television which features the glamour model Corinne Russell was set in and around Huddersfield. We then have another couple of tracks in Have A Drink On Me and Shake A Leg. To wind down at the end we have an unsung classic. Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution is an anthemic track which certainly states my opinion on the music.
Recommended track - You Shook Me All Night Long
