AC/DC’s Top 10 Songs

By ’79 AC/DC had produced three albums. The Rolling Stone Record Guide published that year, roundly dismissed AC/DC as both sonically and visually offensive. Their albums, one of which was “Powerage,” got the lowest possible rating. A rating that questioned AC/DC’s musical competency. Even ABBA who was alphabetically listed just above, got a two-star rating for most of their schlock. AC/DC got none. How anyone with ears could rate ABBA higher than AC/DC is unimaginable. The Top 10 #10. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap The title track from the band’s third album was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Youn and Bon Scott. Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap #9. Whole Lotta Rosie The song is about a woman Bon Scott had a one-night stand with. Whole Lotta Rosie #8.

Thunderstruck “It started off from a little trick I had on guitar, explained Angus Young. I played it to Malcolm (Young) and he said ‘Oh, I’ve got a good rhythm idea that will sit well in the back’. We built the song up from that. We fiddled about with it for a few months before everything fell into place.” Thunderstruck #2. Highway To Hell AC/DC had made several studio album and had a grueling tour schedule, referred to by Angus Young as being on a highway to hell. Highway To Hell #1. It’s A Long Way To The Top The song combined bagpipes with Hard Rock instrumentation. This was a signature song for Bon Scott who played a bagpipe on the track.
