AC/DC greatest hits CD
December 17th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
AC/DC, which plays the St. Pete Times Forum on Sun. Dec. 21, is one of the few classic rock acts that steadfastly refuses to peddle the obligatory “greatest hits” CD — or offer their music as digital downloads, for that matter. And I’m proud of my hard rock heroes for not selling out … Well, for not selling out to anybody except Walmart, with which the band did do a most dirty deed.
Anyway, if AC/DC ever OKs a best-of CD, I want to produce the compilation. Here’s how it would go: 18 tracks in chronological order spanning the years 1976 to 2008, with nine songs each for singers Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. The disc has been quite popular with my friends and coworkers — yes, I’ve made several. The Johnson tracks and greatest 1970s promo music video ever(!) after the jump.

2. “T.N.T.”

It’d need to include a third disc of lesser-known-but-still-ass-kicking tracks and that would have to include “Beating Around The Bush”.

Great call.
“Rock n Roll Singer,” “The Jack”, “Problem Child,” “Ride On,” a live version of “Bad Boy Boogie” (from, say, the boot ‘Live in London 2/11/79),’ “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It),” “Sin City” and “Down Payment Blues” should also be on disc 3. I’ll hit you up for more suggestions when I get that call from Angus.

The last time I saw AC/DC was along time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I thought it was the best concert that I had ever been to even the tickets price was highly priced. But now before I used not to research enough to see if there were better pricing. But after finding this site, I’m so happy coz I ‘m saving some dollars via:

Good work, thanks! My sister received the Mbt shoes I bought her for her birthday, she adores them. I was a little worried the calf would be tight around her legs but it hasn’t been a problem. I’ll be back before Christmas.

Hey, i am very happy today, I received my Mbt shoes just now, very impressed. They are like sort of a massive slipper, soft, easy to wear and light.

There is nothing that touches these for just lazing around at home. Bar sleeping I don’t take mine off now that its getting colder, they are not quite as stiff as they were when they first arrived but still extremely comfortable. It would be nice if they had a little more arch support but other than that I’m very pleased. I am finding a nice mbt shoes!
