AC/DC Back in Black. I remember it so well. I bought 45s but this was my first album. I regard it as a masterpiece

@JimboSaturn yup. I got it within the first few days it dropped and it was a long anticipated release. It did not disappoint. Every song on it is a banger. ..pretty much like most of the Bon Scott stuff before.

Back in Black is why AC/DC wont ever release a best hits album. It goes back and forth with Michael Jackson's Thriller as highest selling albums of all time. They don't want to possibly take away from those sales because you can't release a best hits album without including songs like Back in Black, Hell's Bells and You Shook Me all Night Long and those might be the only songs any greatest hits type of a consumer might recognize from the album BiB.

I remenber listening to it for the first time. B side first. Right away when I first heard the Johnson's vocals in Back in Black, I told my friend, "he sounds kinda like a cat." Then he (BJ) said "I got 9 lives, cat's eyes..." Me n Steve looked at each other with eyes wide open, saying WTF! 😳
