Song 415: Terra

Song 421: Sin City

September 15, 2023 Wayne Kessler

This is just the greatest song ever done by AC/DC. It’s not just the lyrics, even though they are dark dark dark. But it’s everything else, and mostly it’s Bon Scott’s vocals.

Song 423: Tubes World Tour

August 22, 2023 Wayne Kessler

The Tubes had some fine songs (some think of them as novelty songs) such as What Do You Want From Life, White Punks on Dope and Don’t Touch Me There, but this gem actually was ignored by me until the last few years.
