I think a lot comes down to the initial state you were in when you first heard, and then how things have turned out since – or didn’t hear them. I’m from Australia and I was 13 – 17 in AC/DC’s time with Bon. By the time Highway to Hell came out, AC/DC had sortta checked out. They made a big bang with their cover of ‘Baby Don’t Go’, ‘TNT’, and most of all, ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top’, but songs like Lotta Rosie were not big, they became just another rock band – a good one though. Highway came out, and yeah, just another good rock song. But Bon died, then when ‘Back in Black’ and the combination of the ‘new’ old guys screamin’ and the great songs just blew everyone. I had just learned how to play a bar chord, mostly Gs, and boy I did some horrible hours trying to copy the Youngs’ riff. 25 years later, on youtube, I hear the Bon songs again. I’m not even interested in the ‘new’ ACDC. I read a crit that said Bon’s voice was so (I forgot the adjective), you could catch a disease by listening to it. Absolutley. I watch Whole Lotta Rosie on youtube, the one when Angus breaks a string. It’s absolutely awesome. I see the other Young player, Angus’s brother (WTF, I can’t remember his name)playing those chords on the back of a truck for, ‘It’s a Long Way’ and there is no doubt in my my mind. If I had to choose an ACDC album forever it would have been one of the Bon era albums. The previous ones were produced by Vanda/Young and were more brutal. Highway had harmonies etc. Still it is awesome, and that opening lazy drum beat is a killer

Touch to much is a filler!?
come on mate it’s one of the bands best songs EVER and personally I like it better than Rosie!
Don’t get me wrong Rosie is a classic but I don’t get why you can get away with mentioning Highway to Hell without mentioning the BRILLIANT! Touch to much. ( like a hand down a velvet glove! )
But this is a question I have always asked myself. What if I could only have 1 AC/DC album?! Which on would it be? Quite frankly it gives me headaches just thinking about it as though I obviously get more out of Highway to hell than you do I get exactly what your saying about Back In Black!
It’s like Sophie’s choice to me it is really that difficult!
If I come down one way the other I will just get a headache again when I start thinking about it again so I won’t.
Just to say the band produce two top classed classic albums back to back with two great singers.
I am getting a headache just thinking about this thanks a lot lol!
