Was going thru my AC/DC songs on my iPod & noticed that on same album (High Voltage), AC/DC has 'Most Rocking Song Using Bagpipes' in 'Long Way to the Top' and 'Most Rocking Song Using Word Oy' with 'TNT'.

Pretty impressive.

Music for the drunken masses to riot by when the economy collapses and the banks close or when their favorite sports team loses the championship game.

AC/DC has always been one of my all-time favorite bands. Yes, I know they're not the most musically varied of bands; but that's okay, because they always played music really well and sold millions of records!

RIP Malcolm Young

The leader of the band. RIP, Malcolm.

Simon Wright should be inducted as a member of AC/DC.
HE DID... FLY ON THE WALL & WHO MADE WHO.
How could he not be a ball of fame drummer for the band.
Pathetic hall of fame snub.
Simon don't worrie....
You'll be inducted for your drumming in DIO.

Not the most diverse band, musically speaking....but they carved their own musical legend and did it in a cool,rocking way. Good band to party to!

It sucks that Mark Evans wasn't included. He may not be as good as Cliff, but he played on some legendary albums. I can understand not including Simon Wright and Chris Slade. The former played on two of their lesser known albums and the latter only played on one plus a single.

Rest in Peace Colin Burgess, original drummer for AC/DC (November 1973 to February 1974), 1946-2023.
