As I stated on the AC/DC Main Page, Back in Black and For Those About to Rock's talk pages, heavy metal should be added back to their late 70s-early 80s albums as a 3rd genre. Main page states they were an influence on HM and the 70s perception of heavy metal was used interchangeably with hard rock, thus why Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Van Halen etc. all have HM on their pages. 108.81.33.59 ( talk) 21:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
OK, can anyone clarify on why in this case the word 'Over' is capitalized? I'm kind of confused. "Over" seems to be a tricky word regarding capitalization in song titles. Let's see, which of these are correct and incorrect?
"All over You" "Move Over and Let Me Dance" "Rock and Roll Over You" "Wings over the Sea" "Head over Heels" "Love over Gold" "It's Over Now" "Roll Over Beethoven" "Moon over Bourbon Street" "All Over Now" "Somewhere over the Rainbow" "Let's Walk Over to the River" "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again" "Hardly Getting Over It" "Look Over Yonder"
I would consider the above examples to be correct...are they? Chapa1985 ( talk) 16:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! So what about "All over You"? Is that correct or it should be capitalized? That's the most tricky case I would think. Chapa1985 ( talk) 23:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
I told you it was tricky! I think I agree with you that it should stay capitalized. All the articles I've seen here with that title have 'over' in uppercase. Thanks for the reply! Chapa1985 ( talk) 01:53, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
The allmusic site doesn't seem to follow the rules very well. They write the 'a' in "Shake a Leg" in uppercase which is not correct. Yet at the same time they write "Given the Dog a Bone" with the 'a' in lowercase! They are obviously inconsistent and not a good source to follow! In fact I would not want to visit that page ever again. A look at just one album was enough...the song titles on allmusic's album pages must be an inconsistent disaster!

If Discogs is anything to go by, the Australian cover continued to be used in Australia and New Zeland until the mid-90's. Since Australian versions are generally given precedence on here, the Australian cover should come first here as well. Esszet ( talk) 23:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Since Australian versions are generally given precedence on hereis true here on the English Wikipedia? - FlightTime ( open channel) 23:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
The main cover art image should be of the cover with which most people are familiar. The Australian cover art is very obscure to non-Australians. - FlightTime ( open channel) 23:43, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
I don’t have sources, but since the international version of Dirty Deeds contains edited versions of several of the songs and even an edited version of one song from their previous (Australian) album, I can image the band wasn’t too happy with it. Likewise, there originally was no international version of Let There Be Rock, and even if the band did want Crabsody in Blue to be replaced, they wouldn’t have used an edited version of a song that had already been released on their previous album (even internationlly). Since record labels can influence covers and track listings against the artist’s wishes, it’s just as easy to say (probably even easier in light of what I just said) that the international versions were not what they intended, either. They might have been withdrawn from distribution in Australia itself for business reasons, who knows. In cases like this, it’s best to just use the original versions by default. And I still don’t see what the problem with putting them at the top of the infobox is, people will look at it, see that it’s captioned "Original Australian cover", and go "Oh, so that’s the original cover. I didn’t know that." Esszet ( talk) 23:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Why was album's international cover replaced by the Australian-only album cover as the primary image? This does not make any sense. Ded Meem ( talk) 14:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
