If there's one thing that hard rock doesn't have enough of it's BAGPIPES!
Trying to pick a favorite Bon song is impossible for me.

Mine is either "walk all over you", "girl's got rhythm" or 'Night prowler"

My favorite riff during the Bon era, and what I feel is the best album ever in that of "Powerage"

Highway To Hell was one of first albums I ever listened to. A friend from across the street brought it to my house and we listened to it a lot. We'd listen to "Night Prowler" in the dark. I'd be totally scared, LOL. I borrowed it and made a cassette copy. He actually ended up giving me that LP years later and I still have it. I was fascinated by the cover and the photo of the band on the back. He told me a false story about Bon Scott's death. According to his story, Scott drove of a cliff immediately after recording the song "Highway to Hell." Well, that made the album even more fascinating!
All the tracks on that album are classic, but guess I'll choose "Touch Too Much."

Boris is right, more bagpipes are needed in metal.

Hard to pick a favorite, since many have been posted already (Rosie, Let Their Be Rock, most of Highway To Hell). Can't list a favorite, but these are still great tracks:

"The body of Venus with arms"...still a classic lyric in my book. As I've stated here over and over, I consider the Bon Scott era to be THE AC/DC. Brian is good with AC/DC but I love the classic Bon sound.

Me and my best friend growing up used to crank Dirty Deeds on vinyl constantly and play "the floor is hot lava" all over my house, only risking burning our legs off to flip the album. I really identified with Problem Child and guess I still do! haha

I could go on for a long time retelling cathartic stories set to Bon Scott's AC/DC. They hit their prime during my first couple years in college so I have a boatload of "AC/DC stories".

Just saw this on my Facebook feed and laughed out loud. Don't know if it's appropriate for this thread, but I think Bon Scott would've found it funny.

Bon Scott was my first rock n roll hero, and "Highway to Hell" remains a sentimental favorite.
