Plutonium-strength.


AC/DC released their album Back In Black on this date in 1980.

Here's an excerpt from Rolling Stone's review ...

Unfortunately, a lot of people can't recognize the talent because of the noise. AC/DC may not be everybody's cup of joy, but they're not rock & roll's village idiots either. They've simply utilized many of the elements found in the early Rolling Stones' sound — catchy hooks and riffs, a Greek chorus of guitars, a singer who does everything but sing — and cranked them up to plutonium-strength power. More than any recent record, Back in Black separates the heavy-metal men from the metallic meatheads.

Read the rest here.

Grab your hymnal and sing along to "Shoot To Thrill" and "Back In Black." It's in high-definition, so no subtle nuance is lost ...



Rock and roll ain't no riddle, man.
