AUSSIE rockers AC/DC have once again come out on top, this time in a poll of the most influential Australian albums. But there were some surprising inclusions.
It was the album that made AC/DC an international rock phenomenon and has inspired millions of bedroom headbangers to pick up guitars.
So it's no surprise that Back In Black has topped a compilation of the 50 Most Influential Australian Albums by a panel assembled by GQ magazine.
