Summary: Back To Basics
Comment: AC/DC is a true power rock band. Every song on there electrifying debut is rocking all with the same basic rock beat and cool guitar riffs. Starting off with Its A Long Way To The Top it just goes from there every song on here is rocking(well except maybe the bluesy Little Lover) But still the album is AC/DC when they were young as it says in the booklet. Lock up your daughters because this album is a non stop rock thriller and is perfect for any person who loves basic rock n roll and not concept albums.

Summary: Lock up your back door and run for your life
Comment: Being a rock guitar freak of two decades' standing, it is with acute embarrassment that I confess to only having heard this record right through for the first time in my 39th year.
Clearly I went to the wrong school and hung out with the wrong, self conscious types, and stupidly we looked askance at this bogan rock. More fool us.
What a remarkable, single minded, self-assured, exuberant record this is, and what a master stroke for a bunch of scot-inflected teenaged Aussies to have settled on such a perceptively observed formula and executed on it so flawlessly (and stuck with it for the thirty years since!). All of rock's evolved extravagant frippery is discarded or reduced down to its elements. The drums mark out a thumping 4/4 on-beat; stereo guitars crank out a primordial syncopated boogie. Bon Scott wails talentedly and indulgently - even cretinously, as the Amazon reviewer puts it - about rogering everything that moves and getting the clap.
All of rock's anachronistic knowingness is jettisoned and in its place the sort of smutty wailings you'd expect from a bunch of teenage dirtbags. The result: a hilarious, ecstatic, and utterly irresistable rock record.

Summary: Rock You Like A Hurricane
Comment: Killer album, one of the best items on here. She's got the Jack, Yeah! Thanx Pepsi & Amazon. Well worth digging through dumpsters looking for points. Meet some interesting folks there.

Summary: The title says is all!
Comment: Simple straight forward high powered Rock n roll!! No need for complexity. The power of High Voltage and Live Wire, coupled with the fun of Little Lover and Can I Sit Next To You Girl added to the not-played-enough Its A Long Way To the Top and over-played TNT make this a must have album in your collection. Only true AC/DC fans know this and other albums deeply enough to appreciate all the great music they made. Go get one for your own!!

Summary: bagpipe in rock excellent
Comment: This cd has some very good songs from early ac/dc with Bon Scott. It is worth your pepsi points to get it. The bagpipe in the first song isvery exceptional
