look what turned 30

I love this album! It's probably my second favorite AC/DC album, next to that of "Powerage", which is vastly underrated.

Haven't heard it in years, but I loved it as a kid, 30 flippin years ago!!!!!  

It's my favorite AC/DC album and without a doubt their most underrated. Can't believe this one wasn't huge.

This album rules! It boggles my mind that it isn't more popular!

Love this album! It's definitely the dark horse in their catalog.

I love this record too. I bought it on vinyl on its release date. Now I have the CD remastered and it's on my mp3 player. The best Brian Johnson album ever recorded

Shortly after it's release I found it in the cut out bin for $1 on vinyl. Had it at one time, maybe it's still at my dad's somewhere. Loved it when I was a kid too.

 

killer album

I love the album and one of my favorite albums in the AC/DC discography, which makes it one of my favorite albums in my collection

Great album!!

I didn't understand all the hate for this album at the time(still don't). It was the first AC/DC album I bought (on cassette)and it still remains one of my favorites.

Actually I'm kind of happy it didn't do so well.... I can listen to it from beginning to end without skipping tracks from radio burnout!

Honestly? I haven't heard this album. Now I'm gonna have to pick it up.

I love 'Guns For Hire'. What a killer song. What a pity they don't play it live anymore - the recording on 'Live Rarities' is just awesome!

I will never be able to listen to Back In Black or For Those About To Rock again, those albums are beyond burned out. That's what's so great about Flick Of The Switch, nobody paid any attention to it so it still has some power.

It's my fave of the Brian Johnson era. Killer underrated album

There might be the occasional cut off of "For Those About to Rock" that I still like to listen to, but I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. The day I hear anything on the radio (and I'm not talking satellite radio) from "Flick of the Switch", I'd probably crap my pants. You talk about an album which has virtually ignored over the years, it's this one...

Oh yeah, one of my favorites and my first new release by the band. 30??? Oh my.

I always liked it...this and Fly On The Wall....those were the last 2 I cared about.

Yeah, I love "Fly On the Wall". It gets a lot of flack for the production, but I love the sound on it. "Fly On the Wall", is my 2nd favorite Brian Johnson album.

Flick of the Switch was the end of my AC/DC obsession, I though that Fly on the Wall was just okay.

Flick of the Switch is a much, much better record than For Those about to Rock as well.

Good album. Not their best, or their worst.

I agree with all of that.
