Love this issue, Bryan! Was not aware that Dirty Deeds wasn’t out in the US until 1981, although I did know that our version of High Voltage was a compilation from previous Australian releases. Will have to give Aliens another try with my teenagers.

Really glad you liked it, Lindsey! I enjoyed this one a lot. I was surprised about Dirty Deeds, too. Let me know how they like Aliens - my 16 y/o loves it, but then she likes that sort of thing!

Hittites and War Pigs! What a combo. We had a little New Years card game the other day--it was really an excuse to laugh--and were just calling out songs to play, some chosen by use old guys for the 18 year old who had joined us. We chose War Pigs. I have to say, it was not an immediate sensation with young Maria! Perhaps you had to have been there.

Glad you liked it! Yes - I thought Hittites and War Pigs went together perfectly. I run through my playlists on the school run with my 16 y/o daughter - they're often hit or miss with her - but she started singing along with it! I couldn't believe it and when I asked (the obvious) - you know this? She said, of course ... like it was in the current charts. One benefit of Spotify, I guess!
