Title: Top 5 favorite AC/DC songs
Post by: The Shocker on December 25, 2010, 06:05:14 PM
Been on a big AC/DC binge lately and was thinking of my favorite songs.  Five is tough, but it forces me to really think about which ones I like best:

1. Overdose
2. It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)
3. Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)
4. Jailbreak
5. Rock 'n Roll Damnation

So what's yours?

All I've got is:

You Shook Me (All Night Long)
It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)

I do really like those two.


Never got into 'em much. Just heard one LP and some of their songs on the radio.
I'll check out those songs in your Top 5.


Now Playing: Nazareth ~ Hair Of The Dog

Jailbreak
Riff Raff

Yeah, someone that knows what they are talking about.  Gone Shootin' and What's Next To The Moon would be in my top 10.  Johnson's a hack lyric-wise IMO, but I guess Rising Power would be my favorite Johnson song.  Maybe Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Polution...

This is impossible.

Post by: GodShifter on December 31, 2010, 06:07:51 PM
Yeah, it is. Strike "Let Me Put My Love Into You" for me and put in "What's Next To The Moon" instead. Powerage is so choice.

only 5 wow. Not a huge fan but they've got tons of songs and I like em in short bursts. 2 different era's both good but very different. I will say that I have never really got "you shook me all night long" maybe it's just played out from success. This list may change.

no order
1. Have a drink on me
2. If you want blood you got it
3. Riff Raff
4. Walk All Over You
5. Shoot to Thrill

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Sin City, that's an awesome song.

1.) Live Wire

2.) For Those About to Rock

3.) Jail Break

4.) Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be

5.) Back In Black

I know a lot of people hate on brian but I think that the first few albums with him singing are just so iconic. I remember when I was a little kid probably only 9 and I got my hands on the album High Voltage. It changed everything for me.

I've tried to post in this thread a bunch of times. There is no way I could narrow this down to 5.
There are a lot of really deep cuts I love plus the standards.

Good to see the Overdose love.  From my casual research they never performed it live.





Kind of like SATO by Ozzy.

Overdose is criminally underrated IMHO. It's one of their tightest and meanest sounding songs ever.
