It’s a Long Way To the Top if You Wanna Rock and Roll … can’t say I’m all familiar with the song, but I always found Back in Black to be an annoying fratboyish song, so I want to help it LOSE. ---

[QUOTE=An Arky] Bon Scott used to be in a [bubblegum band](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ-45XG7n4k), y’know… [/QUOTE] Haven’t seen that video, but I saw something else with him in that band - I remember him looking a lot like he did in AC/DC, but with weird non-rocking noises coming from his mouth… Joe ---

**It’s a Long Way To the Top if You Wanna Rock and Roll** I’m glad my favorite AC/DC song is (so far) winning. I gotta have more bagpipes. ---

Love the bagpipes and it’s hard to go against Bon Scott but I have to go with Back in Black. The riff is just too good. ---

Gotta go with **Back in Black**. This is a song that says it all about AC/DC. “Our lead singer died of drugs. Fuck you, we got a new one. Here’s an album of awesome shit. Pass the coke!” ---

Looks like Bon Scott wins- It’s a Long Way to the Top if you Wanna Rock and Roll in a walk. So be it. Jo ---

[QUOTE=RickJay] Gotta go with **Back in Black**. This is a song that says it all about AC/DC. “Our lead singer died of drugs. Fuck you, we got a new one. Here’s an album of awesome shit. Pass the coke!” [/QUOTE] More like "Our lead singer died of Alcohol poisoning. Fuck you, we got a new one. Here’s an album of awesome shit. And we’ll make a tribute song to him called “Have a Drink on Me” Cuz that’s what he woulda wanted. And we’re AC Fuckin’ DC. Gotta love that. 😃 That song being on THAT album still gets me every time… ---
