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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
