Album of the weekend

AC/DC-Back in Black

Back in Black is one of those albums that virtually everyone of a certain age has. It's like Dookie by Green Day, Led Zeppelin IV by, um, Led Zeppelin, and Thriller by Michael Jackson. Back in Black has transcended it's time and become iconic. You've heard every single song on this album, and you probably know many by heart. Anyone who grow up listening to rock on the FM radio has heard the majority of these songs. I don't hear them much on XM radio.

But is the album good? AC/DC is like Kiss. You know what you are getting and at this point, you expect nothing new. AC/DC has a bit more mainstream and broad appeal than Kiss, and their music is certainly popular. There are few "must own" albums in rock music, but even if you don't like AC/DC, this is a must own.
