Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of AC/DC singer Bon Scott, who passed away in 1980 following a night of hard, hard drinking. To pay tribute to the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap singer’s legacy — and all the music history his resilient Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bandmates achieved following his death — this weekend’s Rock List is dedicated to AC/DC songs. Tell us your favorite songs by the Aussie hard rockers, and on Monday we’ll count up the votes to reveal our Readers’ Rock List.
Before you cast your votes, be sure to check out one of Rolling Stone’s first features on the band, a 1978 profile that finds AC/DC on the road in support of their then-new album Powerage. Plus, check out the band’s amp-bursting odyssey from High Voltage to Black Ice in our AC/DC essential album guide. A handful of our favorite cuts are below:

The guy posting comments with the name “AC/DC” is a complete douche. For one thing, with all the bootlegs, there could easily be a song that you haven’t heard that AC/DC maybe released in a differant country, or just performed live once in their 40 year career. And even if he is mistaken, why the fuck should he “go to hell”. For a mistake! thats absurd. For a long time I though the song “Hair of the Dog” was by AC/DC. does that make me a bad person? FUCK NO. You need to stop being such a hot headed bastard and maybe correct him, or hell, maybe he’ll end up correcting you
