I think I like this more than anything since Cold Roses. I'm not that into the 80's rock thing so much as I think it's just a better batch of songs.
Best since Easy Tiger for me, but otherwise I agree. Probably could have cut 1 or 2 songs, but I'm really enjoying it, especially the title track and Outbound Train.

I love Outbound Train as well. Yeah, it might be an obvious homage to the Boss circa 1984, but so what? "Born In The USA" is a an album loaded with great songs that I listen to a lot, 30+ years after the fact.
Should have posted this four days ago.. Bon Scott passed on Feb 19th, 1980, 37 years ago... what a great frontman, singer and rock 'n' roll lyricist... Great Album... and as Patterson Hood would say "Let There Be Rock!"

my favorite AC/DC album!!!
I have a really dear friend who lives in East Dulwich, just a few miles from where Bon Scott died. In 2011 we were visiting (actually on Black Crowes Europe tour) and we went to 67 Overhill Road to pay our respects

Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing
National Socialism had devised its own notion of the value of German art and culture. This was ruthlessly put into practice when the Nazis took over power in 1933. The more than 175 “degenerate” recorded musical items in this extraordinary 10-CD box set, ‘Forbidden But Not Forgotten’, relate to the shocking consequences due to that “cleansing”.
The burning of the Reichstag (7th April) provided the pretext for the prosecution of all who held other political opinions, for the burning of books (10th May) whose authors were on the index of disfavoured and banned writers, for the law that amended entry to the civil service (7th April) that excluded all non-Aryans and led to wholesale dismissals of Jews, especially in orchestras, the administration, among singers, conductors and instrumentalists. By means of the exhibitions “Degenerate Art” (Munich, 1937) and “Degenerate Music” (Düsseldorf, 1938) art and artists who were now to have no place in Nazi Germany were pilloried.
The people concerned either saved themselves by fleeing abroad or were arrested, deported to concentration camps and executed. With the ‘annexation’ of Austria, the process repeated itself there - and in every other country invaded by German troops.
The wide-ranging selection on these 10 CDs of original recordings provides examples from all types of this so-called ‘Entartete Musik’ - from cabaret and ‘Schlager’, opera, operetta, and concert music - that were forbidden, and the many composers, writers and performers who were persecuted - including Bert Brecht, Paul Hindemith, Otto Klemperer and Richard Tauber. They deserve not to be forgotten.

So that's where he died... have you read this book by Mick Wall. It's very well written, and he goes into what he believes led up to Bon's death. He's hugely complimentary of Bon. On stage and in interviews, his cheeky charisma always comes across. Bon lived it like he wrote it, literally...
