AC/DC: Who Made Who

(Epic, 1986)

Discovery:  It's difficult to pinpoint how exactly I found out about AC/DC, but it doesn't really matter because who doesn't know this band.  If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it was somewhere between my party metal friends in high school and the sport of hockey.  In any case, this band and this album are pure nostalgia.

Result:  I don't really spend time listening to this album on my own, however if an AC/DC song comes on, of course I'm singing along and rocking out.  I went to this show in the summer of 2008, and it kind of blew me away with how much fun I had.  There's something to be said for pure cheese party music with insane production, complete with heaps of pyro, a giant inflatable hooker, and cannons that saluted those about to rock.  I could not attend the stadium shows in the summer of 2009, but I hear they were just as epic.  Definitely worth seeing once in your life.

Stand-out Tracks: "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Hells Bells", "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"
