Iconic rock album named Australia’s greatest ever record

AC/DC’s iconic rock album Back In Black has been ranked the greatest Australian album of all-time by Rolling Stone Australia.

The music magazine has listed its top 200.

THE TOP TEN

1. AC/DC – Back in Black
2. INXS – Kick
3. John Farnham – Whispering Jack
4. Cold Chisel – East
5. Midnight Oil – Diesel and Dust
6. Silverchair – Frogstomp
7. Crowded House – Crowded House
8. The Avalanches – Since I Left You
9. Savage Garden – Savage Garden
10. Kylie Minogue – Fever

Australian radio icon Barry Bissell, who hosted Take 40 Australia for two decades, said the pointy-end of the list was hard to fault.

“I think the top 20 was a no-brainer,” he said on 3AW.

“All of those I couldn’t fault – running order, maybe.”

However, he listed Richard Clapton and Hunters & Collectors as artists who had been unlucky to not have more representation on the list.
