It's odd AC/DC Powerage is one of my very favorite AC/DC albums. Raw and killer every track. Odd however because at the time it did not sell well and was poorly reviewed also yet you got to enjoy it for other reasons. I first became aware of AC/DC from some movie that was in late night theaters in the 70's I think. Bon Scott lead concert, them riding around in a 928 in a field. The whole dynamic of Malcolm and Cliff staying methodically in place and coming forward to sing was really cool. Let There Be Rock (the movie and a great on at that) at one time the only movie powered by AC/DC. I remember it hitting a couple of theaters for a limited engagement in the early 80's when AC/DC was in full stride.

I don't understand jazz at all, because I've never really "listened" to it or tried to educate myself about it, so I don't even understand it and I don't understand what I'm hearing when I listen to it. It sounds like a bunch of random, dissonant sounds. I'm sure that if I really got into jazz, I'd understand it and appreciate it but as a totally clueless and uninformed jazz-listener it kind of sounds like noise. See, I'd take you to task if you tried to say the same things about Iron Maiden or Megadeth, but I can see why someone would come away with the same impression about metal bands that I have about jazz. Listen to gobs and gobs of it until you do! Miles Davis and Louie Armstrong are a good place to start.

I don't listen to any "Christian rock" Listen to this in full, then see how you feel They have heavier and lighter songs than this, but for a band labeled as 'Christian Rock' they have a ton a just plain great songs.

I do listen to quite a bit of Christian Rock, but you do have to dig deep to find non-generic pop. Much of what is on Christian radio is just bland and many of the vocalists are marginal. I was really into Resurrection Band when they were still together. Very hard rock, raw. Not slick. They did move with the tide of what was popular for the purpose of reaching as many as they could with the Gospel message. Yet, I found most of their music solid, and StU Heiss had a very unique style of lead guitar that I really dug. Phil Keaggy is simply a master on the guitar. He is more Beatlesque and extremely adept on both electric and acoustic. Check them out on YouTube.
