    I want to play generally, but I can't for this particular poll, because there is no way in hell that I'm going to listen to an AC/DC album to figure out which is the worst song. I wish there was an all of the above option, lol. I can't stand AC/DC.
    Looking forward to the next polls though S_C!

    I dunno. I liked them and listened to them enough in high school to know a ton of lyrics for the rest of my life, but at some point down the road they just started sounding really annoying to me. I'd say this occurred around 1999 or so, lol.

    I haven’t listened to AC/DC in years, so I’ll play along with this one using foggy memories of Back In Black. 

    Looking forward to seeing what other polls the OP has in store!

    This music is definitely dated but there are 3 songs on this album that will never go away and as long as there are strip clubs the song "You shook me" will always be played...

    A solid guitar solo isn't quite enough to save this cringe-worthy chorus from being "The Weakest Link"

    I absolutely hate You Shook Me because it was overplayed and I haven't listened to it for years. I understand it's not a weak song, but what radio, weddings, HS dances and any other event did to it has ruined the song for me. Great album though.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Lol. True. Maybe that is a big part of why I started hating them. Some of their songs were SO overplayed I just couldn't take it anymore. You Shook Me All Night Long is the worst culprit for sure.
    I will admit, however, that I can still have a giggle when I sing along to Big Balls.

    'scuse me for interrupting this fine thread for a moment but I'm intrigued by it as there seems to be a lot of love for this album.  I've never much gotten into AC/DC, mainly for the lame reason that one of their best known songs ("You Shook Me All Night Long") still reverberates painfully from what should be a long-forgotten heartbreak (and I'm happily married now several years so it's not so much the specific heartbreak as it is the song reflecting a by-gone pain.)  Anyway, the point is,  that experience stopped me from exploring this album further than what got air play and now exempts me from voting here due to lack of familiarity.  You've all peaked my interest here.  I may have to give this one a fair chance after-all.  

    Start w the album cover.  It's all black in honor of Bon Scott.

    It has one of the most recognizable rock songs in Shook me.

    Hell Bells is a chilling great song and great way to open the album.

    In my mind... Back in Black and Highway to Hell are the two classic/great ACDC albums- ranking up there with any album ever.

    Some of my friends insist that a few others need to be in the mix, but it's not even close in my mind.

    Put the album on... sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

    Side Note: I got my first speeding ticket while listening to this album (Shoot to Thrill was actually the song on when I saw the blue lights..lol)
    Looks like I need to get with it on this one (but no speeding ticket, lol!)
