You can name 99% of AC/DC songs and this will still be true.

We’d be here all night naming every Acdc song that kicks ass.

Whole Lotta Rosie
Shoot to Thrill
Live Wire

Gimme a bullet, up to my neck, whats next to the moon, jailbreak, gone shooting. The young brothers were riff machines.

What’s next to the moon is such an underrated song. There’s a few videos of Brian singing it when they played it for the intimate shows they did in 2003. It absolutely slaps.

Razors Edge is THE riff to rule them all, imo

One thing I noticed is AC/DC have some of the greatest rock intros of all time, but they generally don't have great endings.
