What's AC/DC's first song? Probably that one.

:nice:

Funnily enough, ACDCs first single was the poppy "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" with Dave Evans on lead vocals. It is an absolute outlier in their catalogue and on no way sounds like the "classic" ACDC standard riffage and metronomic rhythm guitar sound that we all love so much.

Well, I'll be damned.

'first song' as in 'first hit' or 'first track on their first album'? i'm going with the former

teen spirit

yeah i have no problem with that, i love that song. i might like the unplugged version the best. 'on a plain' works too. but as far as 'cultural influence' its teen spirit, hands down.

I’m not sold on About a Girl because it doesn’t have the soft/loud dynamics that became their calling card.
