Ep 34: AC/DC-Highway to Hell vs Back in Black

On what may be the best episode we have ever recorded, we try to do the impossible by trying to decide which of these two classic AC/DC albums is better. Jeff thinks Highway to Hell is better and Slip thinks Back in Black wins. But talk about a “Sophie’s Choice”! Really we both still go back and forth on this. In fact, we even tried to use artificial intelligence to solve this conundrum, but the technology just isn’t there yet. At any rate, it’s still a great episode because not only are these albums amazing but they tell a compelling story full of tragedy and redemption. We go pretty deep here and along the way, we learn….
