Hi all, I'm from 1963 and live in Belgium and have been following music a long time. I have gone through many musical stages like the Beatles, Metal, classic guitar rock, punk music, Indie, Grunge etc but the main focus is still on guitar music: favourite bands are of course the Beatles, but also The Kinks, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Husker Du, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, dEUS, Metallica, Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth, ...

Dirk Hanssens's Album Reviews
This is the sixth album of a thread of album reviews in which I'd like to guide you through my personal musical history based on my top100 Album list you can find in my profile: the previous album in the thread was "Viva!" by Roxy Music.
Still mainly focused on listening to the radio instead of buying albums, I discovered "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC which entered the Belgian and Dutch hitparades in June 1978 and really blew my mind. In fact it was a pity that I listened to the radio version because the guitar solo on the album version (Let There Be Rock) was much better (and longer) but I didn't know that at that time.
Anyhow I prefer their fantastic live album "If You Want Blood You've Got It" on which this song also appears. Of course like all real AC/DC lovers I prefer the Bon Scott period ;)
Other real standouts on this album are "Let There Be Rock" and "The Jack". AC/DC is still one of the bands I would have like to see live and I suppose it's too late now.
There are 4 songs of this album in my Song Top 1000 and one more on another album:
- Whole Lotta Rosie (this album and Let There be Rock)
- The Jack (this album and T.N.T.)
- Let There Be Rock (this album and Let There be Rock)
- High Voltage (this album and T.N.T. )
- Highway to Hell (Highway to Hell)
Next album in the thread: "In Rock" by Deep Purple.
