Again a great list from you, Ritchie👌. Pretty similar to my taste. I might have added Motörhead, ‘Ace of Spades’ Cure, 17 seconds and Iron Maiden debut. It’s amazing how much brilliant music came from England at these times in general! I also dig a lot the Furs. The US cover of their debut is quite different in comparison to their German/UK version (I live in Germany). I think a lot of the Back in Black material was already written and arranged with Bon Scott. imagine how this would sound with Bon.
