You Shook Me All Night Long

A solid, good-time rocker that goes well with alcohol. A bit more upper brow than Boning Fido or Please Allow Me to Put My Rod In You, radio stations ate this song up and put AC/DC on the lips of people who would otherwise have never heard of them.

HAVE A DRINK ON ME

Rhymes about dipsomania - a for-reals drinking song. Although I do not partake myself, the expressed generosity and camaraderie in the chorus have an appealing everyman quality.

Aw, hell, it's a fun song about gettin' drunk, even if you're not getting drunk at the time. Not a good song to be blaring away at a police stop. :smug:

Have a Drink On Me

Yeah, a rousing song about getting plastered. Catchy with a cool build-up.

I don't mind this one, quite catchy, fits in nicely with the album as a whole. There is a slight whif of filler about it but it's a little better than that!

SHAKE A LEG

I have never heard this one before, so this is a 100% fresh take on this song for me.

This song has a great riff and a chorus other bands would kill to have on one of their tracks. It's no-nonsense rock and roll, straight no chaser. Anybody wanting prog rock, this is neither the band, nor the album, nor the song for you!

Pretty good song, riff-o-matic.

ROCK AND ROLL AIN'T NOISE POLLUTION

Believe it or not, I've never heard this song before today. It's a right good rocker, great chorus, etc. Pretty much the story of the album, barring the slow track at the end of side 1.

Makes for a fun album closer.

I actually never really cared for this song. It's OK, and it certainly didn't stop this record from selling like water in a desert, but somehow it doesn't seem to fit.

Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Polution

It's an okay song, one of the first off the album I was familiar with as it was released as a single /w Hells Bells.

Nothing wrong with the song, but probably not the best choice as album closer.
