I'll start

My top 20 AC\DC songs.

It's a long way to the top

You shook me all night long

Thunderstruck

Highway to hell

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Back in black

T.N.T

High voltage

Jailbreak

Hells bells

For those about to rock

Who made who

Whole lotta Rosie

Let there be rock

Heatseeker

Rock n roll train

Stiff upper lip

Rock n roll damnation

Hard as a rock

Baby please don't go

    For me AC/DC died along with Bon Scott… they still wrote good tunes but Brian Johnson’s vocals (for want of a better word) just rubbed me the wrong way! (and I’d seen him with the band Geordie in the very early 70’s… and even then I walked out of what was a free Canberra Day event on an oval somewhere after watching a few local bands, who were great by comparison).

    Favourite songs are so hard to rank as the list will always depend on my mood and my memory. There are songs that that many love that would never make my list (Bohemian Rhapsody being the first to spring to mind), so here are a few in no particular order (10 to begin with):

    1. A Hard Days Night (Beatles) - that opening chord gets me every time!

    2. Bitter Sweet Symphony (Verve)

    3. Bang A Gong (Get It On) (T-Rex)

    4. White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)

    5. Marie Provost (Nick Lowe)

    6. Making Plans For Nigel (XTC)

    7. Shivers (Boys Next Door)

    8. Stupid Girl (Ellen Foley)

    9. I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down (Elvis Costello)

    10. Factory Girl (Rolling Stones)

    Do you reckon they may have been ... ummmm ... "influenced" by this 1966 recording?  :D

    As far as favourite songs go, that would change from day to day and be impossible to rank.

    Wow! I’d never heard that before… thanks! I don’t think I’d ever have picked that as The Last Time.

    Agreed, HT.  Doesn't sound anything like it.

    Hope all goes well with your treatment and you're back on stage before too long.

    Thanks matey… it a bit of the ‘how long is a piece of string’ situation. Chemo can last from 3-6 months or even longer. The optimist in me says I’ll be back doing it again early next year, but the realist says don’t hold your breath. 😁

    Same. The whole plagiarism litigation makes sense now. Could never understand it before. 

    Hope you're going ok HT

    Thanks GtB… I’m having my ups and downs, but for the most part doing ok. Missing being able to perform with the band though.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
