To me, this is not just the best AC/DC song. Ozzy Osbourne with Suicide Solution, Crazy Train, No More Tears just to name a few, Motorhead with Ace Of Spades, Metallica with Jump In The Fire, The Prince, Hit The Lights, Whiplash, Fade To Black just to name a few, of course there are several other Metallica songs as well Song name similarities are often known as well, in the case of Motley Crue with Live Wire and Bad Boy Boogie. Examples of these are Guns N' Roses (who merged with AC/DC for the Rock Or Bust tour), Metallica covered Highway To Hell, Megadeth covered Problem Child, Anthrax covered TNT, Exodus covered Overdose and Dirty Deeds, Motorhead covered It's A Long Way To The Top, Iron Maiden covered Sin City but these aren't isolated examples. Some of the bands even did tributes to Bon. The cool thing about this album, even though it was Bon's last, is that it would open the doors for many new bands in the 1980's. The beginning with Angus on guitar just rocks you to the core. It gets me pumped up every time I hear it. These songs may not be quite Top Ten material, but they are classic AC/DC.īack in Black is a great theme song for AC/DC, but Thunderstruck has to be their best song overall. Honourable mention should also be given to "Sin City," and "Gone Shootin, ' " which has a groove that just won't quit. The way the instruments are layered on in the beginning is pure genius. It's such a departure from the more traditional, harder sounding guitar-work on their other tunes. Love the opening, the way it builds and gathers momentum. I can't decide between this, Highway to Hell, Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long, as far as my favourite AC/DC tune goes. I feel this way when I listen to "Time" by Pink Floyd or "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. When I listen to it, it makes me feel so amazingly good. This is so much better than Back in Black. I'm not particularly into AC/DC, but I know when a song transcends its genre, and this one does it. My top 10 are:ĪC/DC has awesome songs, but Back in Black is easily the greatest! Even people who don't like AC/DC can enjoy this song! Second best selling album ever, with greats like shake a leg, shoot to thrill, hells bells, giving the dog a bone! I have to say AC/DC certainly made a mark on rock and roll history with this song and the whole album in general! I mean they have better music like Thunderstruck (better solos), Hell's Bells (better lyrics), and TNT (Better riffs, solos, and lyrics). Don't get me wrong, it's one of AC/DC's best, but not THE best. In my opinion, Back In Black is overrated. So they should have taken Michael Jackson's place on the greatest albums. Also this song's album should be top on greatest albums. If you don't know this song then something is VERY wrong with you. I don't understand how it doesn't take Bohemian Rhapsody as the greatest song of all time. Man do I feel like jumping while hearing this song! CHEERS For those about to rock, we salute you.Awesome song this is one of the best songs of AC/DC! This is the title track of the second best-selling album of all time, and is by far their best song would tell you that So in recognition of Back in Black‘s 40th anniversary, we look back at 25 of their greatest songs. As a band, they’re unrelenting and freewheeling nobody has ever had to wonder if AC/DC were having a good time. The best AC/DC songs overdose on crude, raucous riffs and offensive turns of phrase, whether its Scott bragging about his “Big Balls” or Young speeding down the “ Highway to Hell” spewing out bluesy, high-voltage solos. “The truth is, we’ve made the same album over and over 15 times.” “We’ve been accused of making the same album over and over 12 times,” guitarist Angus Young once said. When they exploded out of Sydney in the mid-Seventies, AC/DC’s scrappy original frontman Bon Scott sang about the group’s personal holy trinity - sex, drinking, and rock & roll - and ever since gravelly voiced Brian Johnson took the reins after Scott’s death, they’ve kept right on worshipping at the same altar.
The secret to their success has always been their authenticity. Songs like “Highway to Hell” and “You Shook Me All Night Long” are classic-rock radio staples, and their 1980 LP, Back in Black, would be the bestselling album of all time if Thriller didn’t exist. Bulldozing rock-hard riffs, more double entendres than you can shake a stick at, and one comically snug schoolboy uniform: These are just a few of the ingredients that have made AC/DC one of the most iconic rock & roll bands of the past 45 years.
