I'm a fan of AC/DC - not a huge fan - but a fan. So I have 4 of their CDs -High Voltage, Highway to Hell, Back in Black and Live and just haven't gotten too much into the newer albums.
With the exception of Live, these are all classics in the rock canon; I'm not going to be able to shed any light on these that other vastly superior writers than me haven't already covered. I will say this, if you don't have any of the albums, Back In Black is absolutely required and the other two studio albums aren't far behind. Live isn't bad, but isn't a notable live album.
I used to work as a cook in Chili's and it was common for me to close on Saturday which meant leaving typically between 1:00 - 2:00 AM and turning around and opening Sunday at 7:30 AM. We had a required set of listening we did during prep to get us up and moving before the restaurant opened, and Back in Black was always #2 or 3 on the list (Master of Puppets was always the first - ALWAYS - ...but I'm getting ahead of myself).
I've found myself really enjoying High Voltage since re-ripping; it always got overlooked while I was shuffling my songs. The tightness of the grooves is evidence of a band that had been playing together for a long time. The build-up into to "It's A Long Way to the Top..." is hard to beat.
