Ok, lets find out which disc fairs least with the fans.... I could only select 8 in the poll, 'Iron man' and 'Who made who' etc are excluded... and i can't imagine the ones I have ommited being serious contenders (but i guess someone somewhere will not like BIB or Powerage... )... so let the voting begin! also you can write why you don't like/listen to them if you want to!

The three I voted for, to me anyway, just don't rock enough, the mid 80's output was 'patchy' at best, and the 'stomping rock' seemed to replace the raw energy of the earlier albums, the death of Bon , without him anyway, affected the lyrical content and overall output. Just an opinion for what it's worth Basically never play them nowdays

Ditto to what Tudderz said, I guess. Three albums that very rarely get played these days

;D actually could've voted for 4 as not keen on F.T.A.T.R. but aggree the 3 from the 90's were too "american "for me but STIFF UPPER LIP was back to the bluesey rock they started outas

Blow Up Your Video isn't a particular fave either TBH, even though it did outsell its two predecessors combined. Although Fly On The Wall is generally regarded as one of the worst (if not THE worst), for me it does have kind of a special place in my heart, simply for the fact that it was the first DC album I bought as a new release. Looking back at it now, it doesn't stand up (no pun intended) against most of the others but it was something I enjoyed listening to in my early teens.
When Classic Rock mag did a 'buyers guide' on the band, it listed the one to avoid as the Razors Edge. A bit harsh, I thought, although it did point out that there is no such thing as a bad DC album, just that a number of them don't live up to their earlier material. I like Razors Edge......... Thunderstruck, Moneytalks, Are You Ready, Shot Of Love etc. Great tracks.

Although Ball Breaker.. Fly OnThe Wall.. and Razors Edge.. have their moments, thats all they have really.. moments. One or two killers and the rest are fillers. I think Stiff Upper Lip was a return to some sort of form. I loved the ''singles'' (or the obvious ones if you like) on BB and RE but never warmed much to the rest. Fly On The Wall had a few more tracks on it that I liked but had an odd feel to it.. is it the production or something? a bit echoey.. dont know. High Voltage and Dirty Deeds were good albums.. that early dirty sound that drew me in as a young un. FTATR and FOTS were great albums for me, right on the back of Back In Black.. I was like 18/19 and they could do no wrong.. exciting stuff i thought. Agree about War Machine too.. if it wasn't for the spectacular animation that would have ground the gig to a halt on the last tour IMHO.. everything else was damn good though.

Well, I voted...
Stiff:.... totally can't listen to that album... title song is ok but the rest is terrible IMO
Ball Breaker: Some good tracks but over all another lifeless CD
FLY: Some great songs on there 'foundations' 'sink' but the mix is an abortion so the quality of the songs is lost, the youngs may be good song writers but they can't produce an album for shit... lol

War machine, not too popular it seems from Black Ice? Couldn't agree more, far better tracks on there, but I Love 'Anything Goes' while many don't ...who's right and who's wrong then??? ;D Off topic but just had to say it!

I thought Anything Goes was a stand out track for me.. had that 'up' vibe a bit like Money Talks.. did it for me definitely
