Fly on the Wall has always been my favorite AC/DC album too. The songs are all great and there is a pace and energy that I like. The production also sounds really good to me. Back in Black and the other classics are all great as well.

I thought about truly putting Fly On The Wall as number one but then I thought about all the great songs on the other two and realized it’s more just a matter that I’m worn out on the songs and not that they are any less good. Still it was close.

Not saying your opinion is wrong but I just don’t see how fly on the wall is considered good production by you guys. You can barley hear Brian because of the amount of reverb and everything
@rickybrowne9372 жыл бұрын
Fly on the wall was terribly produced by the young brothers. The vocals are layered with too much reverb and are way down in the mix. This was pointed out to Malcolm Young by a fan, when the band switched record labels and re released the Back catalogue, this problem was rectified with young overseeing the process. The FOTW Album was put together Way to quickly. There are some great songs on there, but an outside producer should have been brought in. The reverb on the vocals is to try to hide johsons bad vocals, it seems like he's struggling to be heard.

Dio was classic with Sabbath and created a whole new band for them. Too bad they didn’t stick it out longer together. I can only imagine if the Dio catalogue had been influenced by Iommi and recorded as Sabbath albums. I think both would have been even bigger.

Blow up your video doesn’t get enough love in my opinion. I think that the dated 80’s sound makes it more unique than other albums. It’s been my favorite album for a while and I think it’s sad it doesn’t get enough appreciation.

A lot of people love the album. But for me it just wasn’t as good sounding as their other albums before or after. I don’t dislike it. But I’d love for it to get an updated remix removing that overly 80’s production sound.

Yeah, ya know, they really should remix some of their 80s albums. I know I would buy them asap if so. Blow up video has some really interesting songs but they are diminished due to mixing. Go Zone is a great melody, wry catchy. Have you listened to the B-sides from Blow up your video? They are arguably better than the tracks that made it to the album.

Great job with this AC/DC ranking! It may not fit my own ranking, but you did a great job of explaining your own personal preferences. To me, For Those About To Rock is higher on the list. The title track is not only a perfect example of ‘if you had to show someone AC/DC in one song’, it answers that question for the entire genre of the music! While nothing else on the album touches that level of icon, it’s still a great AC/DC album to listen straight through. The one iconic song kicks into a series of awesome deep cuts. But that’s what I love about the album! AC/DC at their prime, releasing an album of deep cuts. It shows how great this band was (is). Coming off two powerhouses like Highway and Black, they seemed to say “Here’s a song just like those last two albums, now we’re going to do what we want”. I’m not trying to convince you of anything, just explaining my own thoughts. Fly on the Wall just never did it for me. But I get how it works for others.

We stopped at cd shop and i was browsing trough the ac dc bin when i saw this album. I was deciding between that one and flick of the switch but then i bought FOTW because of the cover art and unique sound and mix. I always thought if this album had better production it would be a very respected album. Its a very powerful album my go to for some high volume rocking. My dad has a family jewels dvd and i remember like it was yesterday watching the band performing couple of tracks of the album. I loved the songs and maybe thats why i love this album.

I kinda still feel that way! 12)fly on the wall- playing with girls,stand up,shake your foundations and back in business. This actually has some really good shit! 11)rock or bust- very well executed in my opinion! 10)pwr up- at this point in there career I don’t think they could have done any better! Very deserving of the top ten! 9)flick of the switch- a power house some of the lyrics I don’t find super relatable 8)ball breaker- hard as a rock is my favourite song and I love the ball breaker tour video!

Hope to add 'Highway to Hell' & 'Back in Black' to cd collection, ( cd giveaway #1). I have both on cassette and Highway to Hell on vinyl but neither of those formats will play in my car. I just bought 'Who Made Who' cd at a thrift store for the car. I would say 'Let There Be Rock' is my favorite album ( 1st record I actually bought myself ( don't have it anymore- to many moves ). Hope you do get a good response to this cd giveaway!

Perhaps. I’m really enjoying the album and love it a lot. But I think my fascination with it is because it’s new. When I compared it to the other albums I just couldn’t move those further back in the list. But we’ll see how my opinion of it holds over time. When they put out another new album in 5 years I’ll have to redo the ranking! Haha
@s.craigzahler86703 жыл бұрын
cool video. my favorites: 1 for those about to rock (their most anthemic and manowar-ish-- best songs are the opener and the closer) 2 highway to hell 3 let there be rock (all songs are good) 4 back in black (hells bells, let me put my love, title cut are great; have a drink and giving the dog a bone are junk) 5 dirty deeds done dirt cheap 6 pwr/up (witch's tale, code red, kick you when you're down are some of their very best anthems since the mutt lange-era). Fly on the Wall (Stand Up, title cut, and Send for the Man are killer) and Stiff Upper Lip are nearly as good.

Hello Brendon! Awesome job!!! I totally respect that your favorite ACDC album was not ranked at #1. I've only seen ACDC in 2016 with Axl singing. Axl was the right guy and did a fantastic job. He prepared 100% for that role. My earlier ACDC cds are from the 2003 remastered albums that were in digi packs. I noticed the earlier cds in your collection are in jewel cases. Are your ACDC cds remastered from 2003 or from a different year? Thanks, Rick
@BrendonSnyder3 жыл бұрын
Yes they are all the remaster editions. The UK or European editions came in jewel cases. One of my record stores started getting them in used so I’ve been replacing all of them. You’re the second person to inquire. If I knew it would be a thing I’d have mentioned it in the video haha!

Great thoughts on the rankings , recordings and reasons . Fly On The Wall would be lower on my list because of the drum sound and vocal mix but I get why you like it so much . Flick Of The Switch would be higher for me because it is the last of the albums where they had good lyrics and the recording feels like you are in the room with them . Couldn’t agree more on Blow Up Your Video , bland demo sounding tracks with the exception of Heatseeker and This Means War . Rock Or Bust , Black Ice and Power Up are too clean and sound like they were recorded at the same time . Stiff Upper Lip would be higher also , I think this is the last of the non cookie cutter sounding albums , I love the sound and songs on it , I wish Power Up had that sound . Thanks for the video , any chance you will be doing a part 2 of your collectables/promos video ?

Great video about how I order it myself a couple of slight differences. Fly on the Wall I keep in the middle of the road only issue with that album is the vocals are tuned out a bit and put more emphasis on drums. I have both 1985 and 2003 reissue and bout the same on that. I like you have Black ice and Stiff Upper Lip up higher than most do. I played the hell out of Black Ice. And where you have Let There Be Rock and Powerage was perfect. I really feel those two albums flow into each other perfect. Powerage picks up where Let There Be Rock ends.

My first encounters with AC/DC were If you want blood live and Powerage studio albums. Never got to see them with Bon Scott though, did see them with Brian Johnson, but because they were so hyped as being such a fantastic live band each time i saw them I didnt think they totally lived up to expectations - Angus was and still is phenomenal and the band always tight as heck, however I think an issue for me was that they didnt talk much if at all with the audience - at least not for the shows I saw them on. Cant disagree too much with your listing, though Id swap out For those about to rock with Fly on the wall, have Highway to hell at no 1 and move Powerage up to third. If live albums had been allowed If you WantBlood would be my No 1.
@BrendonSnyder3 жыл бұрын
Hi Terry! No they never talk much at shows and if they do it’s just the standard one liner song intro that they’ve been doing for their whole career. But I always liked that they just constantly rock without big talking breaks between songs. The whole show is high energy from one track to the next.
