AC/DC Honored For 'Best Live Album' In Australian MUSICIAN Magazine Poll - Nov. 30, 2005

According to NEWS.com.au, AC/DC featured heavily in the Australian Musician magazine readers' poll, with "If You Want Blood" scooping "Best Live Album". "Highway To Hell" came third in both the "Favorite Song To Be Played At Your Funeral" and "Best Driving Song" categories.

"You have to remember these are musicians voting, who are very aware of modern music's nature to be derivative of the 1960s and '70s, and that's why they keep voting for these songs and artists as their favorite," magazine editor Greg Phillips said.

"They know all the chords and where they come from, and being aware of how a song is constructed gives them more of an appreciation for what might be called quality music."

	Live albums are generally rubbish, If You Want Blood is one of the few examples that bucks that trend. A true classic!! See also Frampton Comes Alive and Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous.

	I read that KISS Alive 1 was #1 according to Hit Parader. Nothing at all wrong with AC/DC though.

	I like the live albums that came packaged in AC/DC's "Bonfire" boxset better than "If You Want Blood..." and "AC/DC Live." Not that there's anything wrong with any of these albums, mind you. Slayer's "Decade of Aggression" is my all-time favorite live album though. I also like Judas Priest's "Unleashed in the East," but wasn't that album "fixed" in the studio????? If so, that's not cool.

	Yeah, they call unleashed in the east "unleashed in the studio". Believe it or not the cd "live in london" with ripper is real good.

	COMMENT \| My top 3 live albums: posted by : Steelers Own You 11/30/2005 12:43:57 PM

	1. Queensryche - Operation: Livecrime 2. Iced Earth - Alive In Athens (3 CD set) 3. Iron Maiden - Live After Death Haven't heard this AC/DC live album. The one simply called "AC/DC Live" is just OK IMO.
