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

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
