High Voltage

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: AC/DC

Release Date March 03, 2003
Being a rock guitar freak of two decades' standing, it is with embarrassment that I confess to only having heard this record for the first time in my 39th year.

Clearly I went to the wrong school and hung out with the wrong, self conscious types, and stupidly we looked askance at this bogan rock. More fool us.

What a remarkable, single minded, self-assured, exuberant record this is, and what a master stroke for a bunch of scot-inflected teenaged aussies to have settled on such a perceptively observed formula and executed on it so flawlessly (and stuck with it for the thirty years since!). All of rock's evolved extravagant frippery is discarded or reduced down to its elements. The drums mark out a thumping 4/4 on-beat; ... Read More:

Powerage

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: AC/DC

Release Date May 05, 2003
No seriously why? This album is amazing. This one of AC/DCs best albums. This is more bluesy rock n roll and the blues is very evident in this album. Every song on this album gets better. When you listen to each song you think can this get any better and it does. Best songs are Downpayment Blues, Riff Raff, Rock N Roll Damnation & What's Next The Moon?.


This is a must for every AC/DC fan this should be one of AC/DCs most popular albums ever but sadly it isn't it's certainly one of their best. This is a great start to AC/DC it's one of their. Why it's not more known is beyond me but we'll have to deal with it. Buy this Rock classic if you're a rock n roll fan. LET THERE BE ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Def Leppard

Release Date October 25, 2004
Def Leppard outsold many band of the 1980s, and this compliation of their best hits proves why. Hits from the early years of recording, like "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages" are within the compilation, and are complimented with the hits from their biggest selling album, "Hysteria", like "Animal", and "Rocket". Included also are some songs from their albums in the mid 1990s, like "When Love And Hate Collide", which scored highly in the UK charts. Of course, their biggest hit, "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is the first track, so that will definately get any listener going.

The band itself produces absolutely brilliant music, and this album clarifies the imapct Def Leppard had on the music world. I would also call this a masterpiece.

Physical Graffiti

Release Date August 25, 1997
my personal Zep favourite....and then you get the rest of this excellent double album for free, what a bargain!!! I bought the original vinyl on the day of release and even now, over 30 years on, I still pick it out of the rack (now on cd) anytime I require a blast of musical genius.

Live (Collector's Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: AC/DC

Release Date March 03, 2003
This is a bloody disappointing album. I bought this thinking it was going to capture the full on raw power of AC/DC but it totally fails.
The biggest problem is that unlike the majority of live albums that are edited to flow like a proper gig, this mess sees each track fade in and out so that the energy and excitement one expects never materialises. It simply fails to gel at all and just becomes totally boring. Why was this done? It is for radio idiot DJ's who are incapable of cueing up a track? Oh yes, and Brian Johnson can't sing either. A truly horrible experience. Stick to "If You Want Blood...".

In Rock: 25th Anniversary Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Deep Purple

Release Date June 19, 1995
Its probably fair to say that this is the one album that sits in just about every self respecting rock fans collection, whether they, like me, were knocking about on its original release, or for younger enthusiasts have bought it for its historical value.
This mk2 version of Purple, benefiting from the addition of Ian Gillan's wonderful vocal range (my daughter calls him 'the voice') and Roger Glover's excellent bass and knowledge of musical arrangements, kicked off with an album that not only became the first example of genuine 'hard rock', but unlike some other bands also allowed the depth of their music to shine through.
While not wishing to be critical of the albums contents, how can you knock the likes of 'child in time', 'hard lovin' man', 'speed ... Read More:

Made in Japan

Release Date January 19, 1998
Is Great Expectations listening to the same CD as everyone else that has rightly given this CD 5 stars - he is correct in that you had to be there - and I was on many occasions and then later the inferior White Snake & Rainbow -as stated by many this is arguably the best live recording ever made - no contest as far as I'm concerned.- the interplay between Lord & Blackmore - and the pulsating rhythm section is incredible! Others can only aspire!

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: AC/DC

Release Date March 03, 2003
I first heard this album back in the summer of 1982 and it sounds as good now as it did then. I was already familiar with For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) and I'd heard bits of Highway to Hell and Back in Black but this was what converted me. The songs on this album are infantile, puerile, barely adolescent... and absolutely brilliant.

From the crash-bang-thump intro to the swaggering title track to the fade out at the end of the distinctly sleazy and tasteless Squealer this is pure, unbridled rock'n'roll joy. The album is full to the brim with classic tracks: the sleazy Love at First Feel, the behind-the-bike-shed single-entendre-laden Big Balls, Rocker and Problem Child ("...and my mother hates me!") coming on like Chuck Berry's lovechild being sectioned... and, out of nowhere, ...
