Today's musings are brought to you...

...by AC/DC and "Hells Bells," which was on Classic Rewind a few minutes ago...
Why do I not have Back In Black in my cd collection? Good grief. I've heard all but about maybe two songs from that record and they're all absolute classics. Brian Johnson's vocal pyrotechnics on that album took the band to an entirely different level than they were on with Bon Scott. It's safe to say Back In Black is on the level of Appetite for Destruction as one of THE greatest rock records ever made, and not just because of the record's sales -- 22 million-plus in the U.S. and 49 million-plus worldwide since its 1980 release. Yes. There will be one more to that total, very, very soon...
