So 44 years on and AC/DC are set to release a new single and a brand new album which yet again proves that aging rock still runs the show.
So from the opening "High voltage" and Bon Scott in 1976 to the anticipated next offering in 2020 from Brian Johnson... What's your favourite ac/dc song..... |

Thunderstruck...it was one of the songs I used to listen to all day, back when I was "discovering" Rock music for the first time. It just holds a special place in my heart. |

To be fair, a lot of bands release a lot of singles and albums, most evaporate into the ether. I personally would love a rock revival, but only time will tell if that actually happens.
My favourite AC/DC tune is probably Highway To Hell.

I've seen them twice, Monsters of rock Donnington and Subiaco Oval when I lived in Perth Australia which is where Bon is buried.
I honestly don't think I could genuinely single out any track over another as they're all equally awesome. Aussies refer to them as Acker Dacker. |

Thunderstruck seems to be a very popular choice.
Back in black and highway to hell equally as popular. Long way to the top not been mentioned much, I love the uniqueness of bagpipes as a "solo" rather than Angus Young knocking out a guitar solo |

Hah, so I went to a fancy dress NYE party at the Academy (nightclub in Bournemouth) back in the 1980's and from the fancy dress shop got a schoolboy outfit. All night long was Angus Young it was brilliant. Many dirty deeds done that night with a whole lotta Rosie and she shook me all night long |

AC/DC were the first band that I ever saw at the Kings Hall, Derby on the Dirty Deeds tour in 1977.
I had a day off work to buy Back in Black when it was released in 1980, and that is the only ringtone that I've ever had   |

Such a difficult choice, into some live stuff at the moment recorded in the 70s at New York and Paris, still can't choose.
Still can't sing along to Dirty Deeds without rewording it as "Dirty deeds done with sheep".

Thunderstruck, but a piece of entertainment value for you all
Watch it on YouTube live, any live performance, and watch Angus (lead guitar) face!!
Looks like he's chewing on bugs-all the way through!!   |

there are so many to pick from and a lot of them are the background for good memories.
If I had to pick a single one it is probably "Highway to Hell", rocking off at a student party and getting d*unk with lots of girls in a warm summer night.  |

AC/DC have a great lineup of classic tracks, but for me two stand out as my absolute favourites
Night crawler as mentioned above is one, an incredible track with Bon delivering delicious vocals while the rest of the band deliver a blues riff, just a great track and very different to the hits
The other is the quiet and reflective track Ride On which tells the story of a band at the peak of their powers, yet it can sometimes be a lonely journey - just awesome, have a listen if it passed you by.

Hells bells, even more so when I found out the bell they took on tour was made in our town, and they tried to record Bell for the intro in our local park, the bell they toured with was a replica of that bell, Denison Bell.
Local nerddom but also an awesome song. |

I had the privilege of seeing them twice.
The first time was a Hampden with the Black Ice Tour, which was absolutely amazing the crowd interaction was unbelievable. The whole stadium was bouncing.
The second time was again at Hampden 4 years later, but it was dire.
I left half way through.
Fair play to them the have been rocking it for decades, but they are getting past it now and anyone expecting the full AC/DC experience will be left a bit deflated.  |

"Back in black ..remember hearing it a pals house from new album....played LOUD !!!! very LOUD "
I wasn't allowed to have it as the tune we walked down the aisle to but did insist on it being the entrance music for our wedding reception......

For me it is either Whole Lot of Rosie ... or Thunderstruck
My claim to fame ... I saw AC/DC on the Highway to Hell tour in Birmingham in 1979 - with Bon Scott .... and then saw them again on the Back in Black tour in Sheffield with Brian Johnson
.... always been a mega fan, but really can’t help thinking ... leave it... they were sooooo energetic, and high octane, I can t imagine this is possible now - also now Malcom Young has gone ... time to draw a line????

Its an impossible task to just name one song . Plus it can change daily .
All the obvious one have been mentioned !
Think nobody has mentioned my favourite Bon song " its a long way to the top ( if you wanna rock n roll ).
Seen them s few times and live they are untouchable. |
