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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
