    Worst of AC/DC

    This is a tough one for me...My favorite band... so I can't think of wanting to call something "worst"...but I have to say that my least favorite AC/DC album has to be, by far, Blow up Your Video. The songs are not as hard rocking. The title is silly and the album cover is embarassingly lame. But, as usual with AC/DC, it's not a bad album. Just THEIR worst.

      ooooo, difficult one.

      I really don't like Ballbreaker - the songs are all too long, too slow and just seems to be directionless, so I'll pick that one.

      But if I'm honest, I hardly ever listen to anything after Back in Black.

      Although I quite enjoyed Stiff Upper Lip....

        Definetely "Ballbreaker".

        Ruck Rubin fucked up the production.

        The guitars are too quite and not distorted enough.

        I can live with all the 80`s albums, they`re kinda party albums and not meant to be taken too seriously.

          I'd vote for the only 2 albums I don't have, "Blow up your video" and "Ballbreaker", which I was lent and I found pointless. But there are a bunch of weak or even useless tracks from "For those about to rock" to "Blow up your video", the lack of inspiration reaching ridiculous at some points...
          Then as far as I'm concerned the only albums that make it are 1) "Razor's Edge", my fave; 2) "Hell's Bells"; 3) "Stiff Upper Lip".
          I consider the rest as very far below those three.

            I would agree on "Blow up your video" and "Ballbreaker". I do not own them either and for good reason.. I just never took to the material. I think the rest of their catalog is SOLID..

            What a great fucking band!

            (I still remember the first time I heard "Highway to Hell" on vinyl just cranked to death.)

                Ya know...that is one band out of only 2 that has been around for 30 years that I can say I own every album by....

                The other one is Judas Priest....

                I have most of the Rush albums...but not all...

                Yeah I would say "Fly On The Wall" is kinda weak, but there are still a few tracks I think are decent.

                  Ballbreaker was pretty weak, but I'm gonna say Stiff Upper Lip. Never could quite get into that album.

                    I would say Blow Up Your Video is one of their worst, in addition to some of the more recent stuff (though I did like Stiff Upper Lip, the song).

                      Kinda stopped anticipating new AC/DC releases around the point of Flick Of The Switch.

                      Thought The Razor's Edge had some good stuff on it. Even like Sink The Pink and Shake Your Foundations off of Fly On The Wall, but it was around FOTS that each new AC/DC release sounded more or less the same to me. Thought Heatseeker was a good track, but Brian's voice just started irritating me around the mid-1980s.

                        Nothing by Bon would classify as 'worst', Brian has just never done it for me, he has had his bright spots, but for the most part.....
