Still a fine testament to one of the greatest live rawk bands ever......with a lot of lesser known songs...

Like him or not, He was exactly what AC/DC needed for a singer after Bon Scott's death. His voice added that extra spark of aggression for the band, that they didn't seem to have in previous albums. Further proof of his effectiveness came from bands trying to copy it. Ratt, Cinderella, and Quiet Riot all tried and failed miserably. While all of Bon Scott's albums were good, not one of them came close to the effectiveness of Back In Black. It's the perfect example of a band turning a horrible negative into a positive.

I like this band, but I don't know much about it. Do they have a good, comprehensive greatest hits album?
Unfortunately they don't. Most of their "compilation" albums, are live albums.
Well, Who Made Who is a compilation album, but it's far from comprehensive. And not really worth the money...
It's doesn't even document any of Bon Scott's contributions to the band, unless you count "Ride On"....

Let's get one thing straight: AC/DC died with Bon Scott. Back In Black was a good album, but Highway To Hell was better. Brian Johnson is a good singer, but Bon Scott was the soul of that band. They've been a zombie band ever since his death.
That being said, I cannot choose one favorite AC/DC album. If Bon Scott is singing, I'm loving it. Anything made with Brian Johnson just sucks in comparison.
Oh, before I forget, I have something to say to all those people in this world that can't tell the difference between the two singers: Cut off your ears, they are obviously useless.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. This proven by the stunning failure of every album since BIB to even come close in sales or airplay. BIB was an inspired album, a great tribute, and was just certified for selling 20 million copies. But if you remove it from the AC/DC catalog, the Bon Scott albums are still selling more than the Johnson albums 2-to-1.

Highway To Hell only hit number 17 in the US, and number 8 in the U.K, becoming the groups first million seller.
Back In Black has sold 20 million copies. For Those about to Rock (We Salute You) Topped the Charts in 1982. The Razor's Edge spawned a hit with "Thunderstruck". Ballbreaker, which entered the american charts at number four and sold over a million copies in it's first six months of release, also received some of the most positive reviews of AC/DC's career.
So no, every album since Back In Black hasn't been a failure. They've still sold truck loads over anything Bon Scott ever did.
