I saw a documentary on AC/DC recently and now, aside from that being a phrase appropriate to legal types, I can't get that fucking song out of my brain. They rawk -- a big-dumb-testosterone-fueled rawk, but rawk they do, especially w/Bon.

AC/DC is a severely underrated rock group. They were unfairly typed as dumb metal, but their early records are more like the Stones on steroids and speed - a sort of a blues boogy version of the early Stones with long guitar solos and a crazy screaming vocalist. From High Voltage through to For Those About to Rock, AC/DC put out the best hard rock records in history. Back in Black just never gets old, and Let There Be Rock sounds like what happens when you mix punk, blues and whole lotta meth and whiskey - that disc really jumps out of the speakers.
OH, AND BUY THE NEW WHITE STRIPES DISC. Its ain't the best record in a decade as the ass-kissing reviewers make it sound, but its fucking really good.
