Favorite AC/DC songs?

[BTWheezy]

Grew up on Angus, Malcolm, Phil, Bon/Brian.  Basically they were the soundtrack of my youth.  So many great songs...what’s your Top 3?

For me:

Sin City

Dirty Deeds

For Those About to Rock

[BrightonCorgi]

Tough one...  AC/DC is more about a vibe than a song.  It's all one big glorious song...

Let Me Put My Love into You

For Those About to Rock

R&R Ain't Noise Pollution

[BTWheezy]

Great point...and a solid Top 3.

[JohnS]

As many may know, we had a karaoke segment to finish off Havanathon and the AC/DC song Thunderstruck was a fantastic way to close it!

My Top 3 are...

It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock'n'Roll)

You Shook Me All Night Long 

Back in Black

[daustinhartman]

Hells Bells

It’s A Long Way to the Top

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

of interesting note, my dad took me to see them live when I was 16 because he wanted me to see all of the legends while they could still actually rock.  His plan started at age 4 when he took me to see Guns and Roses and Aerosmith together during their hey day and I’ll be forever greatful of his forethought of bringing me to shows, even when I wondered why.

Taking a 4 year old to GnR and Aerosmith??    That is so awesome!

Thunderstruck karaoke...pay good money to see that!

i thought that they only had one song (bit like john paul young). not that i don't like that song.

Yea, my dad was always one of the more progressive parents when it came to that sort of stuff.  I will be forever thankful to him for it.  I also learned a few new words during Aerosmith’s set.  Steven Tyler was being pelted with bottles and screamed a few F bombs and some really graphic threats.

A little like comparing Springsteen to Rick Springfield.

i said i liked it!

seriously, there really is not that much difference from one ACDC song to the next - and why am i castigated when i was agreeing with an earlier post which remains unscathed? such an attitude merely replicates the wallabies/poms ref'ing.

it has absolutely nothing to do with comparing bruce to anyone. if you read the post more closely, you would realise that the only comparison i am making is that of JPY having only one song. just minor differences in the lyrics (bar yesterday's hero, in fairness to him). not that JPY is anything like ACDC.

i had no idea you were such a JPY fan.

I also grew up on AC/DC. Sad to see these old bands coming to an end.

1. Highway to Hell

2. Back in Black

3. Shoot to thrill

Hard to pick 3

[TheFullMontecristo]

RIP Malcolm Young.

 

[Akela3rd]

After research this morning (my neighbours love me dearly) I've settled on :
Hell Ain't a Bad Place
Thunderstruck
Back in Black
I love It's A Long Way To the Top but those bloody bagpipes still grate after all these years.
On a side note for Ken/Rob :
When Ramones first played London back in '76 a review of the 30 minute gig said that they "only had two songs, a fast one and a slower one, fortunately both are very good "

Thunder & Lightening '75 - '15

all great songs.

my point to cardinal whipcrack is that they are not that different.

Agreed, which is why it works. And as I sit here quietly having an early morning RG Perla on a cold London day, having played a bit of AC/DC for the last couple of hours (apologies to Marco and family next door) the analogy between that element and CCs comes to me - they're all basically the same, from the same stock and formula but each subtly different and distinct and generally very good. The extrapolation of this could then be which cigar is which AC/DC track? The Bonn Scott era are obviously the discontinued lines. I'll leave that to others, I think I've had too much coffee already...

Do you know that Malcom played the lead and rhythm guitars on Stevie Wright’s classic.. Evie?

Shoot to thrill

Cold hearted man

[ayepatz]

Whole lotta Rosie.

Touch too much.

For those about to rock.

[madandana]

Top 3 ? ....Kind of like asking which of my children I love most. I'm glad we got to play tribute to them at Havanathon.

[Chompers79]

Back in Black

Whole Lotta Rosie

TNT

[Warren]

My favourite was always the KiWi anthem. Dirty deeds done to sheep.

The other was. It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll. 

[Engineer99]

I always loved the "Flick of the Switch" record. Maybe it was just the timing in my life, but those songs are so raw sounding and really great. Classic AC/DC.

 

RIP Mal Young....

 

 

 

[Engineer99]

This was my seminal AC/DC experience...borrowed a tape from a friend and listened to it nonstop for some insane amount of time......

[SCgarman]

1. Problem Child

2. Shot down in flames

3. It's a long way to the top

Many many more!
