We have Long Way to the Top in captivity. Angus has to be about 16 in that video.

I like the addition of Long Way to the Top. I want that song played at my funeral.

Come to think of it, I want Lucky at my funeral too: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap v. Paranoid Android You Shook Me All Night Long v. High and Dry TNT v. Just Long Way To The Top v. Let Down Highway To Hell v. Creep Thunderstruck v. Lucky Moneytalks v. Karma Police Hells Bells v. There There Back In Black v. No Surprises For Those About To Rock v. Fake Plastic Trees Radiohead still wins 7-3 in the rematch, but closer than the original 9-1 I gave them a month ago...all about the matchups.

vs. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" vs. "Paranoid Android" "You Shook Me All Night Long" vs. "High and Dry" "TNT" vs. "Just" "Long Way To The Top" vs. "Let Down" "Highway To Hell" vs. "Creep" "Thunderstruck" vs. "Lucky" "Moneytalks" vs. "Karma Police" "Hells Bells" vs. "There There" "Back In Black" vs. "No Surprises" "For Those About To Rock" vs. "Fake Plastic Trees" Interesting Fact: Besides Malcolm and Angus, there was a third Young brother. (I know, it sounds like a Far Side cartoon.) His name was George, and he played in a late sixties band called The Easybeats, who became the first Australian rock act to score an international hit, "Friday on My Mind." Interesting Fact: In 1995, Radiohead opened for REM, a band that had influenced them. Michael Stipe clearly returned the admiration, having been heard to introduce the band during the tour with, "Radiohead are so good, they're scary."

"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" vs. "Paranoid Android" AC/DC Boring, whiny. "You Shook Me All Night Long" vs. "High and Dry" AC/DC Cool song, but "Shook" is too classic. "TNT" vs. "Just" AC/DC Boooring. "Long Way To The Top" vs. "Let Down" AC/DC It has bagpipes, people! Bagpipes rock! "Highway To Hell" vs. "Creep" Radiohead Didn't matter where you put "Creep," it was winning. One of the Ten Best Songs Ever. "Thunderstruck" vs. "Lucky" AC/DC "Moneytalks" vs. "Karma Police" AC/DC "Hells Bells" vs. "There There" AC/DC "Back In Black" vs. "No Surprises" AC/DC "For Those About To Rock" vs. "Fake Plastic Trees" AC/DC 9-1 AC/DC. I don't get Radiohead; it's like art rock to me, which I don't enjoy. That said, when they feel like being catchy, they're veeeery catchy. But they don't do it as well as AC/DC does.

By the way, I love YouTube.

Edgy DC Aug 10 2006 10:34 PM

I don't want to get into numbers, but "Creep" is pretty astonishing, even if it's the one song the band's sponsor voted against. Willets, are we judging by that version or the hit version?

Willets Point Aug 10 2006 10:41 PM

Any version you like. That's the one I could find a video for.

This is blowing my mind. I can't fathom this. Oh well, it's not the first time.

Elster88 Aug 11 2006 11:12 AM

For me it's not really about liking hard rock. I just think one of the groups of songs is superior to the other. Radiohead's whining and droning just don't do it for me.

sharpie Aug 11 2006 05:08 PM

Radiohead puts AC/DC bACK on the Highway to Hell: 37.5-32.5.
