(If You Wanna Rock and Roll)
Originally posted on 6/28/08. I was looking to see what a recent visitor had come in to see and noticed the video had been taken down by YouTube. Was easy enough to find another one; would be a shame to not have this video in my blog!
(had to replace the last video again - hope this one stays up a while)

"Let There Be Rock" !
Oh you had to get me started on AC/DC vids. ;)
I was trying to think how best to describe how their music feels to me, and saw this quote by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith at their induction to the rock and roll hall of fame. He described the band's power chords as "the thunder from down under that gives you the second-most-powerful surge that can flow through your body" Bingo!
Found this list also on the Mental Floss site...
The 10-Best Selling Albums of all time (worldwide)

7. Bat Out of Hell, Meat Loaf - 37 million copies
8. Come on Over, Shania Twain - 36 million copies
9. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles - 32 million copies
10. Falling Into You, Celine Dion - 32 million copies
I have/had 80% of that list in my cvollection and no ..I wont say which two I didnt have... LOL
It's gotta be one of the best opening licks of any rock and roll song.
It's one of my top ten rocking songs, I'd have to say.
Love that Mental Floss site, need to visit it more often, same w/ List Universe.
I've got most of those, don't think I have that Shania, but have the songs of hers I want.
Love Celine's Titanic song, but not a big fan of hers nor Whitney, but I think Houston did Parton's original tune much better. They both got pipes, I'll give 'em that.
Bee Gees, sheesh, I almost hate to admit that I like them and like a lot of disco. Never liked to dance, but it was a blast to drink pitchers of beer and play air hockey or foosball under black lights and jam out to the catchy beat.
Thanks for the list, that's one that would make a lot of folks debate if they were their own fav. top tens, but you can't argue with the sales, huh?
