AC/DC’s Back in Black Named #2 Australian Album

"The 100 Best Australian Albums", a new book titled.This Book ranks the best releases by Aussie artists in rock history.Authors Toby Creswell, Craig Mathieson and John O’Donnell have jolted 100 albums from the past 50-plus years and ranked them in order.

In the final list, AC/DC’s legendary 1980 album Back in Black came in at #2. The full list includes the name of the many famous acts from down under, including INXS, Men at Work, The Bee Gees, Crowded House, The Avalanches and Kylie Minogue.

“It wouldn’t be a good list if it didn’t polarize people and we hope that this list will,” co-author O’Donnell said in a statement. “We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favorites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about Australian music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right. Let the debate begin."
