This could be switched with any of the following three albums, but this MIGHT be my most listened of the four. It's the first of four consecutive hard rock masterpieces, and is perhaps the most primal/raw of the lot. I first discovered this when I was about 12, and the sheer energy, grit, and aura of the band captured me.

Essentially, the same things could be said for this album as for the above. However, this one takes a bit of a heavier, more rock and roll approach. It's also much more lyrically poetic (the only truly great lyrics written by ACDC are on this record), but don't let that fool you - this is still no nonsense hard rock, and it's never been better.
