Back in Black is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC, released on 25 July 1980, by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. It was the band's first album to feature Brian Johnson as lead singer, following the death of their previous vocalist Bon Scott. After the commercial breakthrough of their 1979 album Highway to Hell, AC/DC was planning to record a follow-up, but in February 1980, Scott died from alcohol poisoning after a drinking binge. The remaining members of the group considered disbanding, but ultimately chose to continue on and recruited Johnson, who had previously been the vocalist for Geordie.

I remember when this album came out when I was in high school. You could hear it blaring from cars in the school parking lot. That brings up the memory of me walking out of the school towards the parking lot and hearing this album playing, and then seeing people laugh cause I was unknowingly dragging a stream of toilet paper under my shoe. I've got much better memories than that associated with the album, but that one has stayed with me. Anyway, I've always felt Scott and Johnson's vocals were similar with Scott's voice being a bit less strained. Both voices fit the band's style of music. This is the album that I listened to the most by them, and my favorites from it are Hells Bells and Shoot to Thrill.

 

[KarmaPolice]

With MJ now selected, I wonder if all the remaining albums are from artists that have already appeared on the countdown.

I don't think so. There is at least one artist I think will show up that hasn't yet.

Yeah, i think we might see a debut from an artist i don't think has been listed yet.

There is no 'think' about it, only question is when.

I feel like there is more than one, although I may be zoning out here a bit. There is a debut from 1976 that I feel is a lock to still come.

Huh, i have a 75 qnd 78 album in mind. Now i am brainfarting who you are speaking of.

If I'm keeping up, I spy one artist/band who will casually make their debut in the top 5 (and may only bother to show up for the top spot)

[titusbramble]

Oh boy. The Bends. Listening now, and i will collect my thoughts and post a ramble tonight. Some of the proof of the greatness of the album for me is i haven't even seen 3 of personal 4 favorites from the album mentioned yet - the run at the end if the album: Bulletproof, Black Star (my favorite), Sulk, Street Spirit. I will let an actual Brit have final choice of the playlist song, so my fellow #2 can choose.

I've already used my picks off this album in the UK countdown (Black Star) and then in the Radiohead MAD countdown (Street Spirit). You can have it.

I'll never forget being in high school as a senior and walking with everybody between classes up these outside stairs that were separated and grated and I somehow get caught in the space in between with my foot and fell straight down going up so that I just bit it. And right there was the girl I'd had a crush on since my junior year. BAM! right on the stairs. I think I turned purple. She didn't even laugh it was so violent. "Oh my God, rock. Are you okay?"

I didn't even know what to say. "Holy ****, Kel. I'm okay."

"Wow."

"Yeah"

That sucked.

But I wouldn't feel too bad for me. I saw my girlfriend the next class and said hello after Kelly walked me there. "Hi, Steph. Bye, rock."

One time in PE class I was stretched out on the bleachers in the gym, and somehow my leg got lodged between a crack in the steps. I couldn't get it out, and they had to call maintenance to take something apart to unlodge me. It was the only time I remember seeing my PE teacher smile where he showed his teeth.

Oh man. Those bleachers?! The ones that folded up? Or were they different? Ours were pull-outs. Did every school have fold-outs at their gym? Is that an "of course" answer where I'm being really obtuse or . . . ?

I don't know. Did you get caught in the folding ones?

Thriller is the sixth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released on November 29, 1982, by Epic Records. It was produced by Quincy Jones, who previously worked with Jackson on his album Off the Wall (1979). With the ongoing backlash against disco music at the time, he moved in a new musical direction, resulting in a mix of pop, post-disco, rock, funk, synth-pop, and R&B sounds, and darker themes; Jackson wanted to create an album where "every song was a killer". Paul McCartney appears as the first credited featured artist on a Jackson album. Recording took place from April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California, with a budget of $750,000.

I had this at #12

You did and your points were counted. I just left you off when I was collecting the data on who picked it. I fixed the post to reflect your inclusion.

The impact this album had on 80s music and pop culture is undeniable. Michael Jackson helped move music videos into a whole new world, especially when many would make sure they would be back home in time to catch the Thriller video, which aired at the same time every night. Billie Jean put the Moonwalk on the map. Beat It combined MJ’s pop bona fides with Eddie Van Halen’s lead guitar solo that, in some ways, helped bring an edgier dimension to pop music that, prior to Thriller, was relatively undefined, considering yacht rock, country music crossovers, and ballads had all seen chart success.

920. Something Else by The Kinks – The Kinks - @Don Quixote / @rockaction

Wow. So Don did know what I was talking about that day, maybe. Don, what track would we have picked and where did you rank this, if you don't mind me asking? And you're my record buddy like Doc Oc is with ten albums, although I think Doc takes it because of Some Girls. It's unofficial, but he's got you. That's okay, Little Richard and Something Else is a pretty interesting pair for both us. You are solidly in the diverse taste lead with your love of African music, but I think Little Richard to the '67 version of The Kinks shows a touch of range.

Speaking of range and taste, landryshat had this one, huh? I love this alternative/shoegaze-y/prog album. I think if the reader who is reading this likes prog and Smashing Pumpkins, then you'll love this album. What are your favorite tracks and where did you rank this, landryshat, if you see this?

At that show, Bruce Springsteen also joined Neil on stage for an acoustic (the entire show was acoustic) version of "Down By The River".

Good taste, @jwb

Love LOVE LOOOOOVE this album. Sure, Rockin In The Free World is why I bought the album, but it's not why I keep coming back to it. Crime In The City, Don't Cry, Eldorado, Someday, On Broadway...I can keep going. I figured I'd be solo with this pick given his lengthy catalog and more popular competing contributions and am happily surprised to be wrong. I play this way WAY more than anything else he's ever done.

All Eyez On Me - 2Pac - @Tau837 / @Ilov80s

This survived my first cut, but don't remember what between it and other 90's hip hop made it through the second cut. It was somewhere in there though. So much nostalgia littered throughout, but ultimately I don't still listen to enough of it.

yes, Sly.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

With the bigger number of voters on each album now, it takes a lot more time to go through who voted for what album and then converting those points to rankings - so we'll see less a day going forward but that gives more time for discussion of the bigger albums.

Plus more voters means more discussion/negotiation of what song to choose for the playlist. Unless the high ranker declares it by fiat, as I have done a few times.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

James Taylor is an artist who I absolutely love but couldn't find an album that I could put on the list.

Roxy Music was a great choice and just outside of my top 70.

I think there are two artists that haven't shown up that are huge deals with our demographic that I ranked myself just because. I think one is a band, and one is an artist. They were both predominantly in the '80s, although they put records out until the '90s.

[Ilov80s]

I saw the picture for Dope, saw the title of their top track on Spotify and thought there was no chance in hell I would like this, but I clicked on the first track of Life and realized I was wrong. I was instantly hit with a mix of Marilyn Manson and Slipknot (both I have also been recently revisiting albums from) with a splash of Ministry - sign me up for all that! I might have liked this more than the Breaking Benjamin as it scratched that industrial metal itch that I don't find too often. It brought me back to my HS years jamming to ministry and similar sounding music. My favorites were the opening track Take Your Best Shot, Stop (my favorite), March Of Hope, and Nothing (Why). Good stuff, @BLOCKED_PUNT

Unfortunately, I can not stand Manson or Slipknot so Dope was not a rewarding listen for me. It couldn't have been farther outside of what I listen to so it at least let me stretch myself a bit.

1,283. In-Bewteen Dreams - Jack Johnson - @Dr. Octopus / @Atomic Punk

I find this album comfortable like a pair of old sweatpants.

I like Jack's sing-song delivery and laid back style. My fondest memory of this album was listening to it while sitting on a hotel balcony in St. Lucia having a few drinks while winding down the night.

No more buddy picks for me? :( @shuke is about to get a scolding!

580. Rust in Peace - Megadeath - @KarmaPolice / @Scoresman

Can i still scold Shuke?

There is a band that we haven't seen yet that HAS to be on the list (I had it ranked higher than the already revealed my "highest ranked album that missed the top 350")

There's a handful on bands left that have not appeared so far.

At Fillmore East is the first live album by American rock band the Allman Brothers Band, and their third release overall. Produced by Tom Dowd, the album was released on July 6, 1971 in the United States, by Capricorn Records. As the title indicates, the recording took place at the New York City music venue Fillmore East, which was run by concert promoter Bill Graham. It was recorded over the course of three nights in March 1971 (only two nights were used for the album) and features the band performing extended jam versions of songs such as "Whipping Post", "You Don't Love Me" and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". When first commercially released, it was issued as a double LP with just seven songs across four vinyl sides.

Greatest live band of all-time. They used to do a month residency at the Beacon Theater every year, and it was magical.

920. Something Else by The Kinks – The Kinks - @Don Quixote / @rockaction

One of several Kinks albums that vie for my favorite, which meant none of them made my list.

942. Summer Teeth – Wilco @Dreaded Marco / @shuke

Not as many high points as some of their other records, but still excellent.

1,032. There's A Riot Goin' On - Sly & the Family Stone - @New Binky the Doormat / @Atomic Punk

Made my 71-100 list. A real trip to listen to, and monumentally influential on future R&B and hip-hop records. Sly was so wasted, and the sessions were so chaotic with all kinds of people coming and going, that no one ever documented, or really remembers, who played what on what track.

1,062. Hot Rats – Frank Zappa – Jeb / @zamboni

In which Frank emerges as a bona fide jazz composer. This album is a major influence on the jamband scene, most notably via Phish covering its best-known song Peaches en Regalia.

1,125. Freedom – Neil Young @jwb / @MAC_32

The album that began Neil's second wave of critical and commercial success. He spent the '80s hopping between genres, assuming different personae and trolling his record company. But in 1989, he became Neil Young again, writing and performing the kind of material that was successful for him in the '70s, updated for the times. (A few tracks were actually written in the '70s but shelved until 1989.) Here is where its songs ranked in my Neil countdown:

2. Rockin' in the Free World (both versions combined into one entry)
14. No More
56. Too Far Gone
62. Wrecking Ball
74. Crime in the City (Sixty to Zero)
118. Hangin' on a Limb
122. Eldorado
160. The Ways of Love

In addition, Cocaine Eyes and Heavy Love, the only two songs from the precursor EP Eldorado that did not also end up on Freedom, came in at #128 and #129. Ordinary People, which was recorded at the same session as Crime in the City but not released until the 2007 album Chrome Dreams II, came in at #28.

I would say I expect 6 new artists to appear still.

Exactly. Neutral Milk Hotel cover band.
