Though the favorite AC/DC album of most hardcore fans, Powerage is not an album that’s often mentioned by general folk when reviewing the band’s highlights.
Released in 1992, Brian’s voice is clearly shot as his once-powerful scream is reduced to an almost painful gurgle. The band rocks as powerfully as ever.
The band’s second U.S. release. Merely a stepping stone for the brilliance that would follow. “Whole Lotta Rosie” is just about as orgasmic as rock music gets.
Though I didn’t know which album the songs came from, “Live Wire,” “T.N.T.,” and “It’s a Long Way to the Top” made a huge impression on my junior high psyche.
