Ranking the Studio Albums: AC/DC

Powerage is VERY underrated. Down Payment Blues is one of my favorites.

[@Radiocures]

Powerage was also the first album introducing Cliff williams

[@southernrocker63]

Powerage is the only album that you can hear and features Angus changing up his tone and guitar style to get a different lead sound and solo style than any other AC/DC album. After Powerage he went back to the standard formula.

[@gravengladomain6297]

I always thought Flick the Switch is underrated. Love that record.

[@larrymartin3278]

Oh let there be Rock.

[@jeffmccullough3359]

Just discovered your channel about a month ago and really enjoy Ranking the Albums segment. Being in my mid 50's it is nice to see someone who has the same passion for music. I grew up in upstate NY in the Albany area listing to WPYX 106. I loved the way the DJ's used to put an album on and drop the needle any place they wanted and you got to hear the deeper tracks...that's what turned me onto albums instead of buying just singles. I miss those days. Now I get my deeper tracks from KZbin. Times change..but we still keep rockin!!!

[@rangerrick222]

Well stated. We all agree

[@eyeh8u1]

I remember Angus Young once said in an interview "We've been accused of releasing the same album 12 times. Thats bullshit. We've released the same album 14 times." And we love them for it. One of the few bands that doesnt mess with the formula. With every album you know what your getting before you even hear it.

[@gamleskalle1]

Quote is 12,not 11 albums.

[@GMHG777]

Angus nailed exactly why I’ve never been able to really get into this band with any kind of true desire, every album (and most of their songs) just all sound the same to me, but that’s a great quote for sure !

[@mck7646]

Angus is one cool dude. He even said one time that Malcolm was a better guitarist than him. In the early days Malcolm played lead and then told Angus he should play the solos so he could bang away on rhythm in the back.

[@rangerrick222]

EXACTLY! Simple fun and killer!

[@dupersuper6516]

It was the donington interview where they played alongside van Halen who was their "competition"

[@markbunton9919]

Great show as usual Pete. Such a great band that never disappoints. My ranking of their catalog could vary on any given day but not a bad album in their discography including their latest (Power Up) that came out after this show.

[@phantomofoaktown]

Powerage is my favorite, best riffs, raw power and aggressive emotion in all of the solos, Bon's voice and personality and overall composition is super exciting and heavy hitting. I even read an interview with Angus Young years ago where Angus was asked what album was his favorite and lo and behold it was POWERAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rangerrick222]

Cool as shit stuff...thanks man for sharing! Powerage is my go to

[@maze2490]

Yes, and it's not only Angus' opinion...

[@donnievick3076]

Cliff says the same thing, but it was the first LP he played with them.

[@unevenspleener]

Thank you for this video. What stands out is the great RESPECT that you give this legendary band. Even the more forgettable albums had a couple great hooks. And at their best they are the essence of rock. Thanks Pete, your stock just went way up for me.

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

I always loved “Powerage” the most. I think “sin city” is a beast of a song. As a guitar player I still enjoy putting this album on and jamming along. They are all great to play along to. Try to do what Malcolm does for an hour. Angus was the star on stage but Malcolm held the rhythm guitar down so tight that he deserves major props. I used to dream about what gig I would take if I could replace one rock star and Mal was my choice. Just bobbing your head and cranking out the rhythm in front of a wall of Marshall stacks.

[@rangerrick222]

Freakin' A right. Sin City is a BEAST of a song at LOUD decibels. KICKED IN THE TEETH AGAIN IS KILLER

[@rangerrick222]

Bro. I totally feel you on this. Bon Scott is my only real singer. Can't listen to TNT with Johnson. Need Bon and his gravel gin- soaked voice all over it

[@johndonohoe3778]

Gone shooting is another great track on that album. Good stuff!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

The Bon Scott era plus 'Back In Black' and 'For Those About to Rock' are the best of AC/DC IMO. There is only the odd highlight here and there from then on as far as I am concerned.

[@63mckenzie]

Once they got rich it all went downhill.

[@63mckenzie]

@@DeepSabbath9210 I think Malcolm's drinking and later health problems were a big factor too. He was the most creative in the band.

[@andyparton3755]

Well said.

[@tobymummert3035]

Flick of the Switch should have been the follow-up album to Back in Black. It has the same feel and the substance and Power that Back in Black has. Not quite as strong but it's all there. AC DC were way too over ambitious when it came to For Those About to Rock. What's For Those About to Rock have besides the title track and a few somewhat Rockin Tunes like Let's get it Up and I put the finger on You and you can throw a Snowballed in there and that's about it. Go get Flick of the Switch and listen to it. It's much closer to Back in Black and once again definitely should have been the follow-up to Back in Black. Flick of the Switch is seriously underrated.

[@dupersuper6516]

Idk razors edge and black ice are pretty solid, especially black ice, for AC/DC it's a pretty diverse album and I thought a really high note for malcolm to leave on

well I been a AC/DC Fan since the late 70's when I seen them live & they back up Kiss & man they were unbelievable they were 5 Aussie banging away on their instruments & Bon & Angus were doing their thing on stage & off stage & the way Bon sang like it was his last breath & how he was so full of Rock & Roll energy I still say that was my favourite rock & roll gig of all time & I seen a lot of rock & roll gigs in my time being in my early 50s u can imagine how many rock & roll gigs I been to I have to be honest that the Bon Scott records are all my favourite records but not to take away from Brian Johnson records they are all really great records but if I had to choose I would of loved would it be like if Bon was still alive & made those records that Brian made I think I would sell my soul just to hear those records song by Bon I miss Bon & I hope he is in Rock & Roll Heaven were ever he is!!!

[@sniperbattle666]

Fairly good list, those 90s ACDC albums are very under rated and should be heard more, personally I couldn't rank these it's like asking who's your favorite child but if I had to choose I'd say powerage #1. Good video

[@jeffersoncamargo3738]

Pete, some suggestions for the 'ranking' show: Carcass, Cathedral, Voivod, Accept, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Motörhead, Ozzy, Ramones, Van Der Graaf Generator

[@TheTonyahawk]

He did Led Zepplin already :)

[@jeffersoncamargo3738]

@@TheTonyahawk Thanks for the heads up. It's so many bands that I suspect I might have chosen some he already did.

[@renzocarlosarroyogarnica5045]

Saxon too

[@jeffersoncamargo3738]

@@renzocarlosarroyogarnica5045 I didn't mention Saxon 'cos I thought he had ranked 'em, already! Should've switched 'Zep' for Saxon. :)

Jefferson Camargo: Hi. PETE - like 2 weeks ago ? Did Lynyrd Skynyrd. Pretty recently

[@andrewgraver5668]

Stiff upper lip is the song that got me into ACDC in 06 so that album has a special place in my heart 🖤

[@flyingburritobro68]

Pretty close to my list Pete. Heavy on the Bon Scott albums at the top. I like Highway To Hell number one followed closely by Powerage with its underrated tracks like Riff Raff!

[@gideonsugarman39]

Riff Raff - best song in the world. Ever!

[@privilegedchromosome]

I love your album ranking videos. 👍🏻

[@Oilman455]

"Let there be Rock!"

[@TicklesTinkles]

Blow Up Your Video deserves to be way higher. There are a lot of great songs on there, and the whole album is solid. Take that best songs off that and Razor's Edge, and you'd have something rivals Back and Black.

[@TicklesTinkles]

@@JCStorm76 it's a fun return to form that beats Fly on the Wall and Flick of the Switch before it as well as anything after Razor's Edge. It has the kind of fast-tempo rockers I wish they'd do more of. They latest stuff is almost all mid-tempo rockers. I hope they change it up a bit on this new one! 1. "Heatseeker" Classic! 2. "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll" Classic 3. "Meanstreak" Good 4. "Go Zone" Good 5. "Kissin' Dynamite" OK Side two No. Title Length 6. "Nick of Time" Classic! 7. "Some Sin for Nuthin'" Good 8. "Ruff Stuff" Good 9. "Two's Up" OK 10. "This Means War" Classic! You take 1, 2, 6 and 10 and mix it with "Who Made Who" and maybe four or five tracks off Razor's Edge, and you've got something as good as Back in Black.

[@spaceace4387]

Both Powerage and Fly On The Wall are criminally underrated

[@gogoyubari366]

Where do you get these ratings from?

[@spaceace4387]

@@gogoyubari366 it’s my personal opinion just like Pete’s rankings are his personal opinion

[@bradmenpes809]

OMG!!!! Let There Be Rock is also my favourite AC/DC album!! People usually look at me sideways and think I've lost my mind by not saying either Back in Black, Highway to Hell, or my second favourite AC/DC album, Powerage. There is just something about Let There Be Rock that pushes all the right buttons in my lizard brain. It's only eight tracks but they are absolute, killer, quintessential AC/DC. Bad Boy Boogie and Whole Lotta Rosie are simply outstanding, core Bon Scott era songs. Overdose, Go Down and Crabsody in Blue look forward to Powerage. Dog Eat Dog and Hell Ain't A Bad Place to Be look forward to Highway to Hell. And then there's Let There Be Rock which, imho, is the best song AC/DC ever recorded and captures exactly what the band has been about since 1973. All I can say is thanks, Pete!! I know you might have a different opinion now, three years later, but for me, Let There Be Rock has been my go to AC/DC album for nearly 40 years.

[@neugey]

I am not a big fan, but personally I love Highway To Hell front to back and there is a large separation between that and the rest of their catalog. Not to say the rest of their catalog isn't good, but Highway to Hell is their evergreen record to me. Pete, any chance you could do a Saxon ranking sometime? I am starting to get into their catalog more this year but I am bouncing all over the place with their records, tough to choose!

[@gdaym8635]

Mike N if your not a big fan! You might like them more from their Australian releases they are killer albums.

[@j20man9]

Your idea for Kiss is understandable but I think you should include Lick it up because it is such a hard rocking album and there is such a noticeable shift after it. I saw them on that tour and it was pretty cool. Just a thought! Nice list, I agree with the top 2

[@mycubiclepenguin868]

Ah, been waiting for this one! My favorite band. Doing the Aussie records: 16. Rock or Bust 15. Blow Up Your Video 14. The Razors Edge 13. High Voltage 12. Black Ice 11. Ballbreaker 10. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 9. Stiff Upper Lip 8. Flick of the Switch 7. Fly on the Wall 6. For Those About to Rock 5. T.N.T. 4. Powerage 3. Back in Black 2. Let There Be Rock 1. Highway to Hell

[@gamleskalle1]

Very good, solid list

[@ChromeDestiny]

I like Black Ice so much I would put it in my top ten and I like Flick of the Switch more than Fly on the Wall but I agree with most of this.

[@AndrewCapobianco2014]

I don't see the attraction of Highway to Hell (good production - good energy - title track is a good anthem) 1 Powerage 2. High Voltage 3. Jailbreak 4. Back in Black 5. Dirty Deeds 6. Let there be Rock 7. Highway to Hell 8. For Those About to Rock 9.Flick of the Switch 10. Fly on the Wall

[@zundap100]

14. The Razors Edge? This is much better album than nr.14, I think it is nr 9.

[@mycubiclepenguin868]

@@zundap100 The Razors Edge has a wonderful energy to it, but is unfortunately lacking in the songwriting department aside from a few obvious highlights.

better you than me pete very well done👍🏻i liked your order ī probably have black ice as there 3rd brian era and powerage numero uno but kudos on your choices☝🏻
