In today's edition of Two for Two Tuesday, I am writing a play on song titles - "Back In the Saddle" and "Back in Black." As you can tell, the theme is "back."
"Back In the Saddle" - (Wikipedia source)
- Rocks album released in 1976
- Single released in 1977
- Rather intimate in nature (Follow the link above to see why)
- No. 38 on Billboard Hot 100
"Back in Black" - (Wikipedia source)
- On the album of the same name
- No. 37 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100
- No. 51 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart
- Gold and Platinum in 2006 (RIAA)
- 2x Platinum in 2007
- No. 4 by VH1 on 40 Greatest Metal Songs list
- Second greatest hard rock songs of all time (VH1 in 2009)
- No. 187 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list
- No. 29 on Rolling Stone's The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time
My take away regarding "Back in Black" -
Impressive. I always found the song to be intense in vocals, as I did with "Back In the Saddle." I have really ruled out AC/DC though. I might give this one a standing chance.
