Studio: A toss-up between Jailbreak (the loveliest Marshall crunch I have ever heard) and Whole Lotta Rosie. Honourable mention goes to Bad Boy Boogie, mostly for how much fun that one is to play, especially when you take liberties with the solo.

Live: Let There Be Rock, from If You Want Blood, You've Got It. That's the version with Angus' legendary solo, complete with the flubbed note. :)

"Highway to Hell". One of the best driving songs fucking ever. "For those about to rock" is also awesome :D. (Yeah, i'm a populist. fuck you too.)

I guess I'll be boring: TNT.

I'm not really a huge AC/DC fan, but I like some of their stuff and TNT really sums it up, I guess.

Obviously, it is Big Balls. :D

Well, for the novelty pick anyway.

Honestly, I would have to say...

Shit, I can't decide. I'll take Let The Be Rock, Dirty Deeds, and Back In Black.

TNT is my choice too. I really like the opening riffs and the "OYs". It kind of makes my neck hurt though. You know, from the spontaneous need to head bang Angus style. :D

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is another favorite of mine.


AC/DC songs that other might not necessarilly think of that I like are Meltdown and Big Gun.Big Gun is best when you hear it during The Last Action Hero bit it's used in, or in the video where Arnold dresses up in the Angus' school boy outfit. :lol:

I absolutely refuse to pick one AC/DC song as my favorite and your a prick for trying to make me, Supes.

The one with three blues chords played at a slow tempo and vocals that sound like a drunken parrot. :P

Just remember that of the current band, only Phil Rudd is actually Australian. The others are two Scots and two Englishmen. :P

If you're playing pool at a bar and the Jukebox has that and Chuck berry's My Dingaling on it, play them. You're opponent will be laughing so hard you'll clean the table, yo.

I don't think I have a favorite AC/DC song. THough whenever I hear "Dirty Deads" I keep signing it as "Dirty Deeds, done with sheep"... Not sure why. I just can't take AC/DC seriously.

Yeah, I've had this band come up in discussion before. "Surely you must see that a lot of the bands you admire were fans of AC/DC!" Yes, undoubtedly. But unless you can demonstrate that without AC/DC's influence they would have never gotten started, or that their music would've been appreciably worse, I'm not quite swayed.

Alright, my turn. I'm going with "Big Gun." This is the song you want blaring if you ever get a chance to drive a muscle car at ridiculous speeds. "Whole Lotta Rosie" and ""There's gonna be some rockin'" come in at close seconds.

Also, just got the new "Black Ice" album. Only listened to it once so far, but, as usual, AC/DC doesn't disappoint.

I'm pretty sure that they're NOT from New Zealand, man.

Hells Bells is a personal favorite, although I must admit I'm not much of an AC/DC fan.

I'm laughing so hard right now, and I'm not even listening to My Ding-A-Ling. I have the Chuck Berry Gold album, and it's on there as a live version. It's hilarious listening to the crowd yelling out "Ding-A-Ling!" It's stuck in my head forever, I'm afraid.


AC/DC? You Shook Me All Night Long, Highway To Hell, Girl's Got Rhythm, TNT, and Thunderstruck.

"Big balls" is my fave of the early years, but I also really like Rock'n'Roll ain't noise pollution, Big Gun and Boogey Man.

Some balls are held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best

no, no you misquoted them, the actual song goes like this, and I've bolded the part you refer too.
Well I'm upper upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire

I've got big balls
Oh I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best

My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

We've got big balls
We've got big balls
We've got big balls
Dirty big balls
He's got big balls
She's got big balls
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)

(We've got big balls)
(We've got big balls)

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)

(Ball sucker)
(Ball sucker)
(Ball sucker)
(Ball sucker)

I first heard Big Balls when I was 12 years old. Best. Song. Ever. The lyrics Yosemite posted say it all.

This is a difficult decision. I'm torn between "Back In Black", "Highway To Hell" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution". Damn. I don't know how to pick.

"Back In Black," "Who Made Who" and "Highway To Hell," in that order.
