I always preferred Bon Scott as AC/DC's lead singer. The man had a wit that made their kind of sex-obsession fun, even if it's always aggressively stupid. With him gone, AC/DC seemed to lose songs like "Whole Lotta Rosie" or "The Jack," which walk the "fine line between clever and stupid." That said, Back in Black is one of the top three AC/DC albums, no doubt, but the filler takes it down. "Let Me Put My Love Into You" barely counts as a single entendre, let alone a double, and "Givin' the Dog a Bone" isn't much better. The singles (the title track, "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Shoot to Thrill," etc.) are tremendous accomplishments in the realms of riffage and cock rock, though.
