Top 20 Music Albums of 1978 by mrmcrook 
Interesting year. Usually the last 10-20% or so at the end of a year chart are duds. The below average. Not so with this year. Apart from the top 4 it was very hard to place all the rest in an order of favoritism as they are all really great albums.

Best album of AC/DC (along with Highway to Hell). One of the greatest up tempo rock & roll albums of all time. This is when they were at there absolute prime. All killer, no filler. It really is one of the most under rated albums of all time.

It's alright but not dynamic for a live album. Prefer the studio albums myself
