Rose Tattoo: Bad Boy For Love

How come no Angels/Angel City, though?

No Angels because I couldn't find their 1977 single to hear (not on YouTube, and I can't donwload torrents at work), so couldn't be sure it was Tuff Enuff. Sorry about River Deep/1234 - Wiki listed them as different releases.

Did the poll because I'm interested in how people feel AC/DC compare to this stuff. They always deny any knowledge of or interest in punk, but given how much their Australian work had in common with the beefed-up blues rock of Birdman, especially, it just seems incredible they could have felt no kinship. Unless it's a generational thing - what with the elder brother having made hits a decade before, and Bon Scott being no spring chicken.
