Back In Black

AC/DC

1/5

Lots of volume on these song; Back in Black and Hells Bells are the top songs for me.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Great album; Led's early albums changed rock music; moved music away from the beatles and the like. They had songs with great stereo effects. they had songs with drum solos in them, they had songs with great change of pace. their albums' songs were all different from each other with different sounds. this album should easily be in the top 50.
