Being a slow strategy guy, I was a little late on AC DC. Probably didn't get Highway to Hell until freshman year at Tower on the Ave. CD, of course, that's all beat to shit now and skips on a few tracks. Got a minty 1st pressing vinyl in the used bins for like $5 back in the early 2000s. Both Highway and B.I.B. sound terrific on vinyl; very well recorded albums that will peal the paint off your walls.
 
My first album was Powerage. I was visiting my granny back in Chicago, and she gave me some $$ to run down to the Ben Franklin store with.

I'd usually go down and get a model - a P-38 Lightning or Tiger tank - and build it over the next couple days while sniffing the glue. This time I saw Powerage on my way past the record albums, so I bought that instead. I'd heard Sin City on the radio in my brother's room, but when I asked who it was, he told me to shut up and get out of his room. When I saw it on Powerage, I knew I wasn't building any model this time - it was rock and roll from now on.

I brought it back to my granny's house, and my mom took a look at the cover and said there was no way we were putting it on the hi-fi.

Later that day, my mom left to go visit her college room mate - and my granny said "Do you want to listen to your new record album?" So we put on Powerage and rocked that shit. I noticed her foot tapping and a little headbanging going on when Sin City played. She was drinking Old Milwaukee and I was drinking little Oly's she had picked up for us so my brother and I could have a brewski with her. It was pretty cool being 11, drinking beer with your granny, and playing AC/DC. My granny knew how to party.

Good times.

That's how it all started for me. I know - cool story, bro.

I remember the catalyst to my buying Powerage was that "Gone Shootin' " was featured prominently in Beavis and Butthead.
