You can talk about anything to do with AC/DC right here. They're my fave band and one of rock's finest, so I'm sure there's a lot to discuss! :)

I'll start-what was AC/DC's best song?

My fave is Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

i personally find them really boring. its good for about one listen, when you think cool heavy shit.. but its exactly the same music when you hear it the second, third and fourth times. theres no depth to the music. its really simple and gets boring REAL quick. i think great music isnt completely understood in its initial listen, it takes a few listens to unveil each layer and get to the real depths of the music, at which point you're addicted and can't get enough.

e.g. learning to live was the song that i had to listen to most times in order to understand the song and appreciate it, but that that i do i think its the best dream theater song ever written.

whereas back in black was cool the first listen but i was bored by the end of the third listen.

For those about to rock. This was my first ever album I bought of theirs and loved it. Back in Black as well. I thought it an exellent album to come back with after the death of Bon Scott. AC/DC are very much underrated as a band nowadays.

I do prefer the Bon Scott era but I must admit to liking 'Back In Black'. Favourite album has got to be between 'Highway To Hell' and 'Let There Be Rock'.

Favourite tracks include 'Touch Too Much', 'Highway To Hell', 'Whole Lotta Rosie'.

The track I think you're referring to is 'Have A Drink On Me' from the Back In Black album.

I thought maybe 'dink' was a new slang word for something I'd not heard of. :D
