    I'll include a poll, because it is warranted.

    And blame whomever started the Zep thread...

    And as much as I'd like to put the obscure songs in there, I'm gonna withhold.

    However, I do recall putting together an AC/DC tourney back in the day...

    I digress. I'm getting no play tonight, so I'm frustrated on many levels.

    Quite ironic that when you don't want it, you can have it, and vice versa.

    I'm in a transitional phase, obviously.

    "Sex is just like oxygen. It's not a big deal, unless you ain't getting any."

    I don't remember who's quote this is. But I do recall seeing it in someone's signature here.

    Not looking like it, unfortunately. The girl wanted me to pick her up at Sullivans @ 10, and I couldn't do it.

    I'm an @hole, so things like this will happen.

    However, the other girl, I was a shmuck to. I was fairly confident the drunk one would come over & I blew her off. My mistake.

    Wish I had a lesson here for y'all. The fact is we cater to the one's we like best. Hence my r****ded crap from a week ago...

    Hard to say, bro. Much as I'd like to say I'm Aok, i've had a thing for this girl for awhile. We made our parts over a year ago, (ie. I said I liked her. She said she liked my friend... etc.)

    The fact is, I have told my friend to NEVER go behind my back, and he did.

    Granted, it was not my girl at all, but it made the rest of it weird. So I didn't speak to the girl for two months.

    I do applaud some of y'all for thinking I was desperate at the end. It wasn't that.

    The reason I got pissed is because she was doing things that only girls who want a relationship do, ie. asking to come over to parents, watch movies at her house, etc.

    I called her on it. She said I "never" was anything more than a friend.
    And to tell you the truth, I was too blind to see it, at the time.

    No offense, but, let me ask anyone, if a girl who knows you like her asks you out for dinner/movies/hanging out alone, am I wrong? Or does every woman out there expect a "Ducky", cause I ain't him, nor will I be.

    But to be fair, the "Should I start a war" thread caused more more problems than it helped.

    Greatest Songs Ever: "You Shook Me All Night Long"

    http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?ID=2792

    When the Aussie rawkers lost their lead singer, they didn’t get mad — they got horny.

    By Johnny Black

    Blender, September 2007


    It was early 1980, and AC/DC were about to throw in the towel. The band had formed in Australia seven years earlier, powered by the manic onstage cavortings of short-trousered ax imp Angus Young and a blues-juiced assault that suggested Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath at a kegger. Over the course of seven albums, they laid waste to their homeland and exported that success to Europe. But the mysterious death of their notoriously hell-raising frontman Bon Scott brought the celebrations to a quick halt.

    On the morning of February 20, Scott was found dead in a car in London. The precise circumstances of his death were never ascertained, but he had been on a drinking bender the night before, and, unable to rouse him from the car, his friends had left him to sleep it off. He never woke up.

    The band was in shock for months, uncertain if they could — or should — continue. “We really didn’t know what to do,” Angus later recalled. “Funnily enough, even Bon’s parents said that we should go on, and that made us feel better.”

    Replacing a frontman as charis*matic as Scott seemed impossible, however, until they recalled having seen a leather-lunged youngster with an awesome vocal range some years earlier, performing in an obscure Brit band called Geordie.

    Things had not gone well for Geordie, and by the time AC/DC tracked Brian Johnson down, he was already beginning to feel, at 33, over the hill. Johnson lacked Scott’s slithery onstage allure, but his turbo-charged voice more than compensated, and his rough-hewn personality fit perfectly.

    The new lineup headed for Compass Point studios in the Bahamas with a clutch of songs written before Scott’s death, meeting up with reclusive producer “Mutt” Lange, who had helmed AC/DC’s previous album, Highway to Hell.

    Things were already going well when inspiration struck Johnson in the recording booth. “I was in this little concrete shell thing with a window, and it came to me,” he recalled. “I’ve always been into motor cars, and cars and women are pretty much the same: They go fast and then let you down. Then they bring you right back up again when you see the new model.” He hit on the line “She was a fast machine/She kept her motor clean,” and it became the spark of “You Shook Me All Night Long,” a simple tale of a seismic one-night stand.

    For all its seediness, the song, Johnson believes, came from a higher place, calming his anxieties about his new gig: “I don’t give a **** if people believe me or not, but something washed through me and went, ‘It’s all right, son, it’s all right.’ This kind of calm. I’d like to think it was Bon, but I can’t, because I’m too cynical.”

    Spiked with a swaggering Angus Young riff and promoted via an outrageously erotic video brimming with leather-clad, be-zippered lovelies, “You Shook Me All Night Long” gave AC/DC their first American hit, propelling its parent album, Back in Black, to multiplatinum status.

    The song has subsequently proven to have legs as long as the women* in its video and has transcended its genre* and inspired a bewildering range of covers (including an impassioned makeover by Tori Amos, an unholy duet between Anastacia and Celine Dion, and a glossy pop treatment by Mrs. “Mutt” Lange herself, Shania Twain). And, of course, no bar jukebox or strip club has been the same since.

    I voted for "For Those About To Rock".

    I can't stand "Shook Me All Night Long" because it's played too much on the radio.

    I thought of another favorite, one that should be Fatty's theme song:

    I'm at a point now where I can't stand AC/DC. They are so 80s in my book. Their newer music is forgettable. It's all about their classics. Also, back in the day when I used to see them in concert, they thought it would be a good idea for Angus Young to do a striptease during the show and cap it off with a moon flash. Umm...with mostly guys in the audience...this was not welcome.

    I would say AC/DC is a great band for teenagers growing up, however. Everyone should go through their AC/DC phase...no matter how brief.
