14 Essential AC/DC Songs

This is a list of 14 often overlooked songs that are an essential part of AC/DC’s storied career. Did your song make the cut?

14. Anything Goes

From their 2008 album “Black Ice”, Anything Goes is a reminder that AC/DC still has a lot left in their tank. I can see myself driving down the highway, getting lost in this song

13. Playing With Girls

From their “Fly on the Wall” album, this catchy as hell song will make you nod your head in approval

12. Soul Stripper

The guitar riffs on Soul Stripper sound like a beautiful conversation

11. Put The Finger On You

This is a sinfully overlooked song from the “For Those About To Rock” album

10. Flick of the Switch

From the album with the same title, Flick of the Switch is a defining song from their early 80’s signature sound

9. Money Talks

From one of the greatest rock albums of the early 90’s, not only does Money Talks have a catchy guitar riff; it’s also a good story-telling song. Did you get your Angus Buck?

8. Who Made Who

I don’t know why, but every time I hear Who Made Who, it reminds me of an angry semi truck. Go figure.

7. Shoot to Thrill

From the “Back In Black” album, Shoot to Thrill not only has me banging my head, it also gives me a chance to practice my air-drumming skills

6. Whole Lotta Rosie

AC/DC summed up in one song. This song reminds me of the inflatable Rosie doll being filled up during the song, and bouncing around when the guitar solo kicks in.

5. If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)

Oddly enough, this isn’t on their live album with the same name (I learned that the hard way). I love this song, but I can’t get the scene from Empire Records out of my mind every time I hear this

4. Riff Raff

I’ve been listening to the “Powerage” album, pretty much nonstop for the last few months. Riff Raff encompasses AC/DC’s signature sound of dirty, bluesy, in-your-face guitar mastery along with legendary, raspy vocals

3. The Razors Edge

This song is so underrated; I don’t even recall hearing it on the radio when it first came out. The Razors Edge has a dark sound with a killer breakdown. This song rocks! \m/

2. Ride On

Talk about a story. I like to close my eyes and reminisce whenever I hear this. “Gonna change my evil ways; one of these days.” RIP Bon Scott, a true poet

1. Touch Too Much

My favorite AC/DC song from arguably their best album. “This damn woman’s gonna drive me insane.” A true masterpiece
