Im an Hip Hop , R'N'B listener.

I however have a few select albums, fade to black, nevermind etc...

I was wondering if AC/DC have a greatest hits album, or an album of theirs which is the "must have" some of their songs are really great and i would like to buy the best one, or max 2... or a greatest hits, if they had one...

Well you could look here

Probably the best bet for greatest hits, is this.

**** that.

Well, better go for the live albums then, they usually contain the best songs. Other than that, Back in Black, High Voltage, Highway to Hell, If you want blood, to name a couple.

Nothing ACDC have done comes close being classified as "must have," all of it sucks and you would much better off spending money on decent music, like Head Control System or dredg. I really don't know why people insist on listening to awful bands with no good qualities when there's so much incredible music out there.

So,you are saying that Ac/dc,a band since 1973, has less quality than Head Control System,a band since 2003?And why you believe this?

Even,the 2 members of Head Control System are younger than the band "AC/DC"...

there's so much incredible music out there

Like what?

Ps.i am just expressing my opinion,no offense

How long a band has been around is irrelevant to their quality. Everything ACDC have put out is repetitive and boring. Head Control System's album is far superior, I don't think they're even in the same league (obviously).

Like these bands off the top of my head: King Crimson, Tool, Joanna Newsom, Isis, Meshuggah, dredg, Thrice, Ulver, Agalloch, The Shins, etc, etc, (mostly) from rock and metal.

AC/DC is a great blues-rock band. I don't know if you listen to much blues, but that's pretty much what blues is - I IV V progressions out the ass. I didn't even like AC/DC growing up, but as I listen to them now, I love their music due to its simplicity and sheer balls. They're a fun band to listen and rock-out too. You're one of those musical snobs! lol Don't worry, I was too not so long ago. I love complex music just as much as I like simpler things.

Not really. I like lots of "simple" music (The Shins, Sixpence, etc). I just thought it'd be a waste of time getting into ACDC when I think they're crap.

Thing is though, it was Snyper asking for recommendations not you. If you had asked for recommendations and someone suggested ACDC then you could spout off all you want. The fact is that Snyper asked specifically for ACDC recommendations and was given them. There was no need for you to chime in with your hating of ACDC.

Just because you think there crap doesn't mean others do. If Snyper want to get into them, let him, its no skin off your nose.

Well,i wasnt thinking like this.I was thinking that they are in the rock scene,since 1973.They have great experience of creating rock music.

They have millions of fans,and thats why they are famous as "The Monsters Of Rock" and thats why they have sold 150 million albums.

Have you ever seen what happens to lives?The whole crowd is singing

Do you think that the fans of Ac/Dc and the fans of Head Control System are the same number?I dont think so

How can you say AC/DC are crap? Sorry but true metalhead = AC/DC

+1 (Y)

Ps.i am not trying to change your favourite band.Just,i cant hear "Ac/Dc suck"

I thought snyper's "quest" was open to consideration. Well I don't think it's a bad thing for him to know of other opinions about a band.

Nonsense!! You remind me of my (very annoying) friend.

Of course not, but come on, Britney Spears has more fans than ACDC but that doesn't mean she's any better.

Well you should calm down, it's only my opinion! :p

I don't think so pal and not trying to fight here but AC/DC pretty much owns on albums sold and fans. If you check out the most sold albums ever in music you will see that metal/rock dominates most. Michael Jackson takes the top spot tho :p

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By ZombieFly · Posted

      take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar

      Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again

      To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
