What's your take on their album, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"? Also, did you care for "Ballbreaker", "Black Ice" or "Stiff Upper Lip"?

Dave Evans time in the band was pretty short and limited to 1 single, "Girl, Can I Sit Next to You?" / "Rocking In The Parlour" in 1974.

Dave Evans time was from 1973 - Oct. 1974. At that time he was replaced by Bon Scott, who rerecorded the songs on the "T.N.T." album in 1975 (or some may know it from the international release of "High Voltage" outside of Australia)

"Dirty Deeds..." is one of their highlights, especialy the Australian version of the album. The International version had some edits to the album from the Australian, though minor edits, still a different album.

I did not care for Ballbreaker, have not listened to anything since to know my thoughts on those other 2 you mentioned.
The Scott stuff to me was all good.

So you'd recommend "Dirty Deeds?" (I ask because it's cheap on Amazon right now)

For sure. It is a good choice.

Do you think Dirty Deeds is better than Powerage?

BastardofYoung · 06-10-2011, 12:25 PM

By a little bit. In another thread somebody said they thought Dirty Deeds was more average and for fans, as well as "High Voltage".. which is mostly true. Many may go with "Dirty Deeds" over "Powerage" since the title track on "Dirty Deeds" is one of AC/DC's most recognisable songs by many.

If you can get both for a good price, just get them both... however, if you can only get one I would personally recommend "Powerage" over "Dirty Deeds".

But as I say, probably their best studio outing is "Let There Be Rock" from those days.. as well as "Highway to Hell". Those 2 you can not really go wrong with, would get either of those over "Dirty Deeds" for the newcomer, but "Dirty Deeds" is not bad itself, just a little spotty in places.

So by Kiss I have Destroyer, Alive, and S/T. What album should I get next? RnR Over? Is Alive 2 and Ace Frehley solo worth getting?

pink floyd and led zeppelin were both huge during the 70s and in most people opinions much better bands :P
