Any 3 from their album Powerage, they've never bettered it. IMO.

The early ones have this raw sound, and they're really well produced. Powerage was the last one produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, and they've never bettered that sound. Bon Scott's lyricism and humour also make the songs what they are. No real interest in them after Bon.

One of my fave albums ever, with Down Payment Blues my fave track.
Its a cracker sara. I remember playing DPB for a mate of mine after a few beers. It was the first time he had heard it... needless to say he's loved it ever since.

I know... I missed out on them first time round, only really coming to play after hearing FTATR.... it's often the first one you hear that sticks ....

I'm sure that's true. Borrowed Powerage and Highway from the record library when I was about 14 and put them both on a D90, which I played to death.

Think you'll need to specify which ones to get them on the scoresheet.

Apologies Swannie, you weren't very specific.

Do you enjoy two other songs by AC/DC? If not, I'll give the song you voted for, one point.
