Obviously i'm talking from years of listening to it rather than a one off first go.

Hope you love it.

Rock or Bust is also pretty good but not as good as Black Ice.

I notice they've not been in the Classic Rock top 100 yet, can I expect to see one of those songs in the top 20 when you list it?

Definitely. Very high in fact.

Imagine how loud an AC/DC concert in the tunnel would be, haha

The only ones of theirs i don't have are Ballbreaker and Blow up Your Video.

I had BUYVideo on vinyl and played it to death and ended up never replacing it on cd when i sold the bulk of my records.

I suppose i should also get Who Made Who at some point even though there are only three new tracks on it. That title track is a killer though.

I don't mind The Darkness, but is I Believe a Thing Called Love the best rock song this century?

It was certainly one of the most popular and a phenomenon at the time.

It reached #2 on the singles chart and was on the chart for 11 weeks. It's parent album Permission to Land was #1 for four weeks and stayed on the chart for 53 weeks.

It wouldn't be my choice for number one but i can understand why it is.

It's an interesting list for sure, and I intend to try and add them to a playlist on Spotify. However, that song by The Darkness, just no! I hated it when it came out and I have no inclination to listen to it now

I've never listened to a single Alter Bridge song ever, so it being at #3 is intriguing!

Some crackers in that top 20 though for sure

I'm not underestimating its popularity – I remember it being played on MTV and have a copy of the album.

I'm just surprised that what is ostensibly a novelty song was chosen as the number one over really good singles by artists who are in the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame
