Another awesome AC/DC.had to have a few songs off of here. Able to buy 4 CD's, plus I have Back in Black.and made a new CD with all the good fav's. But this is a must have CD to complete that collection.
Song for song, this album may not be quite as strong as 1979's "Highway To Hell", but "Let There Be Rock" was still the best record AC/DC had made up to that point. It wasn't a big hit at the time, but several of the eight songs have gone on to become classics - most spectacularly "Whole Lotta Rosie", which isn't just an AC/DC classic, but one of the instantly recognizable classics of hard rock in general."Let There Be Rock" also sports the title track "Bad Boy Boogie", and "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be".
I'm not going to break this down song by song, but suffice it to say I have listened to a lot of rock & roll records in my day, and Let There Be Rock is an absolute gem. However, for my money the AC/DC between 1975 and 1979 is absolutely off the charts and all of their CD's should be in your collection if you like good old fashioned a**-kickin' rock and roll. I love every single song on here, including the usual suspects Let There be Rock and Whole Lotta Rosie, but do not overlook a hidden gem in Overdose.
The raw power and crunching riffs on this album are downright addicting and if they can't get your blood pumping, I'd suggest therapy.Bon Scott was the heart and soul of AC/DC; my God, when they drew up the prototype rock & roll singer, Bon was it. I'm not going to knock the Brian Johnson version of AC/DC. The echelon this record reaches is very scarcely populated indeed.
Again, the riffs will sweep you up and blow you completely away. Witty, charming, lyrically funny and clever, and with a voice that could strip paint off the walls, Bon and his mates are awesome on every song here. Ladies loved him and blokes wanted to be like him; I don't recall anyone ever saying anything bad about Bon.
Brian seems like a great guy and was a very good choice to replace Bon (if such can indeed ever be done). Few, if any, have ever done it any better.
Although this isn't so famous album, Many people usually put this in their top5 AC/DC albums - and I am the one. Eventually, it was fifth time when I noticed that there were other great songs too, like "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be", "Whole Lotta Rosie", and "Bad Boy Boogie".
I had no memories about this album but I bought it because I had read other reviews in Internet. I had heard this album like many years ago before I decided to buy this album.
Anyway, I have used to listen to the albus many times no matter how bad they may sound at first. The first times to hear this were awful.
It seemed that the only track that was good was the title tracks. Bon Scott's voice is great, kinda rusty, just perfect for AC/DC.
The only track that hasn't opened for me yet is the opening track "Go Down".Stars: Let There Be Rock, Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be, Whole Lotta Rosie
This is an amazing riff tastic album from start to finish. The songs are awesome, the vocals are top notch and the production is outstanding, this is truly a classic and not to be missed.
