AC/DC Research

For some reason today, I was staring at the tracklisting of the two AC/DC albums I own--Who Made Who and Black in Black--and noticed lots of similarities. There are lots of rhymes and near-rhymes, assonance and consonance, reoccurring themes, and not many syllables (between the two albums the only polysyllabic words are "into," "salute," "foundations," "money," "honey," and "pollution"). "A Duh," you say. I mean, no one's ever accused AC/DC of being non-formulaic, but I figured it was a good time to inspect the rest of their catalog and see what fun things I could find.
