It Was Always in MY All-Time Top Five!

I was 13 years old when AC/DC’s best-known and best-loved album, Back in Black, came out. When I was a DJ at Crazy Go Nuts University’s Clark Hall Pub, its biggest single, the rock anthem You Shook Me All Night Long was

a surefire way to pack the dance floor — even the most hard-core

alt-rock music snobs would do a jig and “throw the horns”. I was 31

when I first performed You Shook Me on accordion. I will not reveal the ages I was when I got to live out those lyrics. Even today, a good 25 years after the album’s release and probably thousands of plays, Back in Black still is on high rotation on my iTunes.

It makes me quite happy to know that Back in Black has, according to this CNN story, made it into the top 5 biggest-selling albums of all time. Congrats, Angus and boys!
