More rockin' recommendations. AC/DC I have: Dirty Deeds. Next two albums to get? Also, for the bonus, Thin Lizzy.

Back In Black and For Those About To Rock. For Lizzy, start with Jailbreak (one of the greatest hard rock albums ever).

Highway To Hell from AC/DC is worth having, too.

get Wolfmother - they're new and I likes 'em.

My friends' band Die!Die!Die! supported Wolfmother a lot on their Nth American tour a few months back. They do indeed rock.

Thanks, kiddos. And the Jeebus of Awesome Rock thanks you too.

I always found "For Those About To Rock" a pretty mediocre record. "Highway to Hell" is much better, IMO.
Also keep in mind that "Back in Black" and beyond have singer Brian Johnson, and everything before "Back in Black" has Bon Scott singing. Personally, things get pretty predictable after "Back in Black".

Jailbreak is definitely the Thin Lizzy one to get.

Ya, Jailbreak maybe but there's a lot to be said for Black Rose, too.

Depending on how you count, Back in Black may be the best-selling album of all time worldwide. And there's a reason for that.

Just sayin'.

The more I think about it, the more I agree. But the title track is a must have.

I know what you mean. It seems like it should be a better record, probably because of the cannonball cajones of the title track.
