Highway to Hell.

They had two different singers by the way so I'm wondering which one you guys didn't like although I assume it is Brian Johnson.

Too many to pick one! Highway To Hell, Whole Lotta Rosie, Shot Down In Flames, For Those About To Rock...all classics. What an enduring band too. Wish there were more like them.

A local band would play "it's a long way" at our local irish pub and the owner would come out and do the bagpipes. Either that song or tnt maybe dirty deeds....

Shit... I can't pick one.
Thunderstruck, Who Made Who and You Shook Me All Night Long are my top three I think.

Highway to Hell these days. Used to be You Shook Me All Night Long, but I've reached my lifetime limit of listening to that one. Like Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, etc.

Edit: Dirty Deeds holds up surprisingly well

First part of Razor's Edge is my favorite out them all. As far as a whole song it would have to be Shoot to Thrill.

Was going to post Shakria's Back in Black in rebuttal, but it only solves 1 of the 2 problems addressed.

Or Shania Twain's rendition of You Shook Me All Night Long:

Edit:
I just listened to that Shakira.....thing... holy shit that's terrible. How she is a professional singer is beyond me. I mean, Celine Dion's and Shania Twain's rendition of AC/DC were both terrible, but at least they weren't making guttural sounds throughout the entire song.

Pretty much the entire Back In Black album. I would venture to say it was the most popular album my senior year of high school. I cannot think of anybody I knew that did not own it or a copy.

I'm surprised Bracken isn't here complaining about how much AC/DC is overrated...

People don't get it. AC/DC is not great because of their amazing song writing, or music ability. It's their raw power, their stripped down no-nonsense pure rock sound that people love.
