1001 Albums Day 126 – Back in Black

Back in Black – AC/DC

AC/DC are like that factory employee that comes to work regularly, does a good job, is consistently producing quality materials, but I really wouldn’t want to have to watch him work all the time. If I owned the factory, I would walk the floor and occasionally stop to see that he is still doing the same quality work, and then move on to other more important things.

With that said, this was sort of the first day on the job for AC/DC with the new singer and man did they start off with a bang, or really more of a bong… or series of bongs. “Hells Bells” with that slow churning but escalating guitar riff just might be the best hard rock opening tune to any album ever.

  1. This was the first album I bought with my own money, I think I was 10-11!

    1. That’s awesome – it was one of the first that I bought too – I had a bunch of AC/DC around the time this came out. My, we were precocious musically weren’t we!
