Eine Kleine Obama music



Hotel Mozart, on Brussels famous kebab street, is a bizarre place to stay. A plethora of renaissance art adorns the walls of a building whose interior resembles a Persian Palace. To add to the bizarre nature of the place are numerous Barak Obama campaign posters. Now that's what I call weird.

AC/DC - Back in Black

First off the block in Planet Rock's 50 Derivative Classic Albums is AC/DC's (that Scottish band) Back In Black. An album for which the word classic was invented. For me there are two derivative AC/DC albums, this one and Highway to Hell. Highway to Hell has the advantage of Bon Scott's vocals. For me Scott was sleaziness made flesh firing double-entendres and inuendos from the hip like some mad debauched gun slinger (I've still got the new Alan Davey album on the mind). Brian Johnson certainly filled Johnson's boots well enough, but watch a video of the same track performed live by both artists and Scott wins hands down every time for me.
