Olli-Pekka Laine: AC/DC's High Voltage, which I received as a Christmas present from my big brother, was my first hard rock album.
In that sense, it is a groundbreaking record for me. It's strange to think that, at the time, it had been recorded around six years ago, since it already felt like something almost ancient.
Any AC/DC album up until, let's say, Flick Of The Switch, could be played in its entirety anytime. So, essentially, any of the earlier AC/DC records could be my all-time favorite.
High Voltage just happened to be my first introduction to the band and therefore holds a unique position in my heart.
High Voltage Heaven for Amorphis: Amorphis' album Queen of Time -- Live at Tavastia 2021 is out now.
