Rock 'n' Ready!
AC/DC at their peak, with "Highway To Hell" and "Back In Black", are wonderful. Always a rich full sound, meaty driving rock, with no bull****, no pretention, they never pander to trends or try to do a ballad or experimental stuff or whatever. They just stick to their unreconstructed, uncompromised, almost uncouth rock 'n' roll, straight from the heart, mean, well hard, mighty magic. Angus is simply ROCK, Bon Scott was a man-slut sleeze squeeze with one of the best rock voices ever, Brian Johnson screams and shouts his guts out, pure passion, the band always plods along with a majorly addictive groove.
Fun, life affirming, refreshing, epic, they're the best at what they do.

I am proud to say that the very first concert I ever attended was AC/DC. When I was in 7th grade (1990), I wrote a letter to my aunt stating that the best Christmas gift I could ever receive is going to the AC/DC show that upcoming November at the Met Center in Minnesota (Met Center is no longer in existence). Sure enough, a few days before the concert, she drove two hours to pick me up unannounced and drove me to the Twin Cities suburb on concert night. She listened to stuff like Indigo Girls, so AC/DC was definitely not her band of choice and she hated city driving, but she went out of her way to provide one of my best memories ever. She also somehow got us main floor tickets only 13 rows back and smack dab in the middle so pretty much the best seats possible. They put on an outstanding show, of course. Even my aunt was entertained by Angus.

My father basically raised me on 24/7 AC/DC, it's literally all he listened to, Back In Black and Highway to Hell have been the only CDs in his car for almost 10 years. I'm heading to my hometown after my shift today to start restoring my truck with him, going to blast those two albums the whole way there, ultimate dad rock, untouchable.

I think Back in Black was awesome, and most of their early stuff was either hit or miss. The best early album was Dirty Deeds.
