'Back In Black' Turns 40
It is hard to believe, but AC/DC released Back In Black 40 years ago this week.
The album is wonderful of course. Tracks from the album have dominated rock radio for all 40 years. I've written in the past that I cannot listen to "You Shook Me All Night Long" anymore. It has been played so much - and in so many places - it is just too much for me.
My favorite track on the album? That would be "Black In Back" of course. I also love "Hells Bells." Back In Black always reminds me of high school. The tracks were played at every dance, enough though I graduated in 1998. So the album was "old" then but still beloved by just about everyone in my class. Truly timeless.
