Most audio products fail badly on AC/DC's "Heatseeker"

Posted by Luminator on August 9, 2024 at 18:19:39:
AC/DC came out with "Heatseeker" in early 1988. Most of my friends were nerd girls, some of whom (including my future wife) were in the high school orchestra. "Heatseeker" was one of those stealth rock songs, which, while no one was looking, the nerd girls found infectious. Its combination of riffs and drumming was different from anything the orchestra played.

Whether played loudly or softly, "Heatseeker" is a real acid test for audio products. If the product doesn't do justice to "Heatseeker," next!
