Another great one, and TNT while we're at it. Assume they've a greatest hits somewhere but if I pick their best (or my favo(u)rite) 20, not a lot of bands are going to top them. First rock band t-shirt I ever bought too by the way.

No, they have never released a proper greatest hits album. If You Want Blood live album is a reasonable early alternative. Not sure why they haven’t, it would sell very well although it wouldn’t get anywhere near outselling Back in Black, which I think is 2nd or 3rd best selling album ever.

I purposely didn't pick an AC/DC song as my choice in this category as it seems my thoughts were right and it's Aussie rock overkill however, this is in my top 3 songs by them.

AC/DC again. Much as I love them, I was hoping to see a bit more variety from people on the overseas track pick.

 

[NZBlue]

I'm sure the main reason they haven't released a greatest hits is it would really drive it home to people just how little variety there is in AC DC's back catalogue. They really do all sound the same- a bit like an Aussie Status Quo

 

[BlueHammer85]

AC/DC raw rock, great solo and outro.

MAA - pure 80's, nice and catchy.

I think it probably feels like overkill as the 4 songs have been drawn so close together, but it's still only 4 songs out of 32 in this category (assuming there isn't another AC/DC song in the last 2 fixtures).

I've voted for Live It Up, good song.

Full Time!
ABBA riding a crest of a wave and make it 2 wins from 2 and having the time of their lives.

Crest Of A Wave 16 - 21 Dancing Queen

Further proof that there isn't a God............. :-)

Between ABBA (I'm assuming there is at least one more comong) and AC DC, it is as if people think they are the only non UK/US musical groups in existence.

Or they are just the ones that they prefer? Maybe that's why they're popular?

Anyhow my favourite Inuit jazz folk song i chose hasn't come out yet so you're in for a treat:-)
