AC/DC... best song?
« on: August 06, 2010, 07:33:25 PM »
Probably a highly contested topic between fans...

I wasn't for years, laugh if you want but Christian upbringing kept me away until the early 90's, and I have been a fan since.

Over the years I learned a lot about them, learned to play guitar and really appreciated the simplicity,


So I love "Are You Ready?", "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", "For Those About to Rock", "It's a Long Way to the Top", and some others... but I keep going back to one of the first songs I heard as a teenager from a dubbed tape (music piracy was invented by the dual cassette player).



From "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" but I first heard it on the "Who Made Who" soundtrack: "Ride On" has got to be the best IHMO. Bon Scott on vocals, just a smooth jam if you could ever put those words together with AC/DC.

Yeah Angus is great, but I'll put Malcom against any rhythm player in the world, the most solid, in-time, powerful rhythm player I have heard.

"Thunderstruck" or "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution."

Highway to Hell. First time I heard that song, I died because of that awesome riff. Bon Scott at his finest.

spit them out they aren't yours ;)

Thunderstruck.. the ultimate football song. 

Although when Squid and I were headed for the train to take him back to his incubators house for the week we were singing 'Highway To Hell' so that earns major points.

I think Brian Johnson is amazing....saw them live last year...but truthfully Bon Scott was and always will be one of the greatest singers on earth.

Best song: Jailbreak
