I think Touch Too Much is an extremely underrated song, one of the best sounding of the Bon Scott era by far.
I was singing that today!! Great Minds
Acdc never played that song live. When Axel Rose joined rhe band some years ago he specifically asked them to play it
Isn’t it great how he can show everybody how good of a guitar player he is While I advertising his Rick Beato guitar by Gibson
Agree. It may not be a riff per se, but Touch Too Much has my favorite intro of all time by anyone. Such a cool swagger to it. The entire song is perfect.
@@DavidMihail Perfect!
Great list…but it needed one more AC/DC masterpiece: Whole Lotta Rosie. 🤘
Yeah I hear ya. Great song. Not really their most original riff though. That’s probably where Rick’s coming from.
@@mattjns definitely the most fun to play, though!
I agree Bon 4ever
Whole Lotta Rosie was definitely the one I expected to hear when I started the list. Highway to Hell would have been my #1 but with so many great riffs the order does not really matter.
Just what I was looking for!!!
Gone Shootin’ is still my favorite riff from the Bon Scott days. Always appreciate your views and positive outlook on music! Much love to you Rick!
👍👍
Ditto. I was going to mention that one!
0:22 T.N.T
0:49 Riff Raff
1:13 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
1:54 Moneytalks
2:32 Shoot to Thrill
3:17 You Shook Me All Night Long
4:48 Hells Bells
5:50 Highway to Hell
6:36 Back in Black
7:20 For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
Whole Lotta Rosie is my favorite ACDC song and it's one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. Well, somewhat learned. I learned the main riffs, but not the solo.
I still frequently play the live version from the ‘If you want blood..”. Riff, lyrics, drive: 100% RnR!
You gotta DIME it for this one!
Honorable mentions: Beating Around the Bush, Walk All Over You, and Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
yOur HeARt Is PumPiiiN
Great honorable mentions man! Keep up the great videos also!
Yes. "Beating Around the Bush" is insanely good!
I was gonna say, Beating Around the Bush is easily top 3
🤣🤣🤣
“Overdose” is like the quintessential Malcolm and Angus song. It’s just a repeated chord sequence with room for solos. And the rest of the song is just a groove. If you can get people to understand why that song works, it’s like the gateway to figuring out why AC/DC is so enduringly popular.
“Gimme a Bullet” and “Gone Shootin’” are both gems.
From the Brian era, “Sink the Pink” and “Meltdown” are both great riffs that stick in your head even more than the more well known tracks from those records.
Overdose is probably my favorite AC/DC song
"Hells Bells" my #1 favorite because no concert I've been to has beaten the 1980 AC/DC show I was at in Oakland CA when they opened the show with that riff, Brian swinging on the rope ringing the bell, unbelievable energy!
Two of my favorite AC/DC songs to play are "Girls Got Rhythm" and "Whole Lotta Rosie". They both have great riffs!
Check out Walk all over you..Bon Scott
givin the dog a bone has also good riff
I agree
@@hajduksplit8657 and Hail Caesar
Totally agree. I would add “There’s gonna be some rocking” to the list
The record companies need to realize that these videos make me want to look the band up again and revisit the music. Not listen to this INSTEAD of the originals. Their shortsightedness is daunting. Keep fighting it Rick. We'll keep clicking!
Exactly found a gem in it that i've never heard before and just added into the playlist.
The bottom feeders don't think that way, they just want $$$$.
Down Payment Blues and Overdose..in my opinion both riffs are extremely catchy and powerful.
Riff Raff is a monstrously good track, live or studio.
Powerage has the best Bon Scott era riffs - Riff Raff, Gone Shootin, Sin City
🤯
Ha ha ha!! 🤘🏻 🎸
Monstrous is definitely the right word. A pile of amazing riffs and one of their best arrangements
My favorite album…EVER
I don’t think any other AC/DC album even comes close to Powerage, I’m shocked that none of those songs are big hits, especially Riff Raff
“Ride On” deserves a big mention. Quite a few comments suggesting it here. It’s my #1
I remember listening to that song so much that I was worried about wearing out my rewind, so I did what any dinosaur would do: I recorded it 10 times over on an old maxell cassette :)
When he said Hells Bells is as close as they get to a ballad I was thinking what about Ride On???
It's mine too! Love the slow blues and Angus with the blistering solos
@@shiscarp Through the Mists of Time is literally a straight up ballad on the new album. I personally just think of Ride On as a slow blues more so than a "ballad" per se. I still get why people would think it is one though.
@@bernardbalizet5173 ride on!!!!!
Sin City (1978), Bad Boy Boogie (1977), Overdose (1977), Jailbreak (1974) are great as well
Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be!! Man, the way this gets the crowds jumping in unison when they play it live...amazing!!
Maybe not the best, but "It's A Long Way to the Top" is simple and iconic and pretty fun to play.
Totally agree
that and thunderstruck. very iconic
It's a long way to the shop.. If you want a sausage roll.
"If You Want Blood (You Got It)" is a hard rocking AC/DC song that is massively underappreciated and underrated riff!!!
STOP SAYING UNDERRATED!!!!!!!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@SonnyGTA but the word underrated is so underrated
Yeah that's actually my favorite AC/DC song
I completely agree
It’s such a ripping riff!!
Live wire is just the best tune! The High Voltage production is as close to live as you'll ever get and that part on Live Wire with the sustained single note is just......!!!! Heard it first when I was about 7, I'm now 48 and it still works. Nothing short of musical genius! The whole album....!
My favorite too! For me it's the greatest rock song ever. Simple, powerful, and somehow still with this groove that I can't quite explain. My go-to AC/DC song for all time!
Shot down in flames is my favourite to play.
Also:
Touch too much
If you want blood
In fact the whole of the Highway to Hell album is awesome.
RIP Bon Scott
That album is their masterpiece in my opinion. Every song is a banger in that record, beating around the bush and night prowler are my personal favorites
My former band used to perform Shot Down In Flames in our live sets, of our original songs.
My thoughts also. The Highway to Hell album was my intro to AC/DC. Shot Down in Flames... If You Want Blood.... Great riffs that fly under the (radio) radar. And heck Night Prowler for that matter!
Back in Black is such an outstanding record that you could almost do a "Top AC/DC Riffs" video of that album only!!! One of (and maybe THE) most incredible rock albums of all-time!
"Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" always gets me...
The fact that you got blocked is actually a great compliment to how closely you resembled the original recording, which I wholeheartedly agree. Awesome job, Rick! God bless, brother.
Rick Beato you are an amazing Musician, Songwriter, Educator, Recording Engineer and Producer and I love your channel! Your recorded versions of AC/DC songs sound amazing and very very accurate, no wonder that the record company thought that it was the original version. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you!
Whenever I play AC/DC on guitar, I find myself having the most fun playing Ballbreaker, especially the Plaza de Toros version because the energy that bounces off the walls for that show is electrifying
I will always love the main riff of "Let There Be Rock" a song that never gets enough love & the one song where Angus goes absolutely nuts.
One of the best and the solos are freaking amazing!
Yay! I’d include LTBR and Rosie! Back In Black is overrated. Weak song….
@@wolfmei5ter No it isn't.
Agree totally. Although this list was great!
To me that riff IS pure rock and roll. I love RnR that salutes the pioneers of RnR and this one does just that. Never gets old.....love the live videos of it. It definitely gets you going.
I'm glad to see more than one person mention It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) - it is unmatched, a single power chord riff with more feeling than most guitarists can muster.
It also can fool the listener into thinking the beat is reversed when the riff starts, until the drums join in.
@@cameroncooper4175 I have that problem on other songs like Good Times Roll and Walking on the Moon, but somehow I hear this one right. To my ears, I think he plays it with an upstroke.
Probably my fav. Good memories belting it out badly on the way the AC/DC concert years ago on the subway. In our heads we sounded amazing but the truth was far more depressing
I think Live Wire has one the coolest intros of all. Not a single riff but the way they put each instrument alone and then together is awesome
My favorite song is Night Prowler, for the intensity of the mood, the lyrics and Bon Scott's vocal performance, particularly on the last sentence.
For me: Have a Drink On Me is pure rock n roll perfection.
That slide / power chord / slide again thing gets me every time.
THIS
My sentimental favorite is "it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll." The Riff isn't great but I give a lot of points for a Rock and Roll band using Bag Pipes in a song. Especially when Bon knew about as much about playing bag pipes as I do when he suggested it.
If I remember correctly they had to tune the guitars and bass to the bag pipes.
Ha! I just posted the same thing. I love that riff. It's simple but thick and complex. Sticks in your ear like glue.
Yes, definitely my favourite and the video of them on a flat bed truck going around the streets of Melbourne.
I absolutely agree with this list. Great video 🤟 although my #1 AC/DC riff will always be intro riff from Big Gun
Hello my friend, I'm from Brazil and love all this riffs. Congratulations. Very Well done.
I still think thunderstruck should have been here. I think it’s their most iconic riff. Not their best song overall, but the riff is iconic.
Yes, Thunderstruck is their most recognized and most played song. Absolutely should have been in the top five
I thought it was going to be #1. Shows what I know. LOL
Definitely most fun to play.
Agreed I was surprised no thunderstruck
Agree
I think "Ride On" is closer than Hell's Bells to a ballad from the ACDC's regular album releases. It also features a really unique solo from Angus. Anyways, ACDC is always epic. So many great riffs.
Thats Love Song from the Australian high voltage ⚡
I was thinking the same thing. Or, Through the Mists of Time, from Power Up.
Ride On is a blues
@@frankusyoung4198 You know because it was on the Australia version it is one of the few songs I've never heard. Growing up there was no Google to help me navigate obscure tracks. ;)
POWERAGE: one of the greatest rock n roll records ever released! Every song on the album is killer!
That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll is always left out of the riff conversation, but it's pretty killer...
Without a doubt, "Have A Drink On Me" is one of their most creative riffs.
Was looking for this one!
One of my favourites out of many.
Whole Lotta Rosie #11
Amen! Great riff, great tune!
Same with shake a leg
I won't lie... I play that riff to warm up. It's just such a great riff.
Girls Got Rhythm is a hidden gem
I have never heard a more correct statement in my life. Top 3 favorite for me. Only thunderstruck and it’s a long way to the top are higher for me
I like all them as a whole song. The number 1 song was never my favorite. I only listen to it a couple times.
I also thought about Touch Too Much when I heard about separated parts
My favorite AC/DC song
Major facts
I was wondering about thunderstruck, I'm glad you talked about it. I would've loved to see you play night prowler, the intro is incredible.
Great vid. Grew up on AC/DC back in the day. I still have all their 8 tracks😎
Really Underrated track on Back in Black: "Shake a Leg". An iconic riff should have made honorable mention.
Gone Shooting from Powerage is another really great rock riff
My personal fav
Agreed and has such a sweet angus sound
Yes! Always been my favorite
Great choice and the live version they did on VH1 is phenomenal.
My favorite ac/dc album by far.
Great show. Please keep them coming; you make youtube fun and entertaining👍
Awesome choices Rick! Also, loved you being on the Mike Rowe podcast fyi.
Always loved “ ‘74 Jailbreak”, “Long Way to the Top”, “Whole Lotta Rosie”, “Have a Drink on Me”… 🤘
"Have a drink on me" has to be one of their best. Definitely top 10 worthy!
I thought the same thing. I love that riff and I love playing that song.
@@rosswilliam2472 same here... it's a smoky, sexy, attitude-heavy riff that just makes you want to pummel your 4x12! One of the first AC/DC riffs I learned and sometimes a go-to riff when I pick up a new guitar
@@gotta56forme I kind of view it as a go-to riff also. Awesome!
I play that on slide.
Bottleneck, of course.
I thought this was his surprise #1 ...my fave Angus riff!
Loved it that" For Those About to Rock " was number 1. Awesome
Great list! I always liked Have a Drink on Me riff. I definitely played Back in Black record a lot as a teen.
"If You Want Blood (you've Got It)" and "Nervous Shakedown" are my favorites. Love this video!
I love “If You Want Blood (you’ve got it)” one of my favorites as well. I personally prefer Bon Scott era AC/DC
i can’t believe i had to scroll so far to find this answer!
The one things that AC/DC shows again and again, is that it doesn’t have to be overly complicated to be amazing.
Genius is the art of simplicity!
All good with your top10, love it. To me, as a personal choice I would add "Gone shooting" into my top10 and also really love "Night prowler" song, too. I play guitar, "Gone shooting" is one of my favourite to play
Good selections here Rick...🤘🎸💯😎
Man this is just incredible… can’t believe how good your tones are and how legit you’re playing is ….Song #1 gave me chills!🔥🔥🔥
Tim I thought you would have noticed the timing boo boo Rick made on Malcoms second phrase. Stuck out like a sore thumb to me 😉 (Love your channel by the way)
Agree Tim. The tone, pacing and colour are so close, only pros like yourself, Mutt & Angus can truly appreciate. A classic RB gem. 👍🎼🎶🎵🎸
@@Justice_Hammer yeah, but I figure he's trying to get just the basic idea recorded as fast as possible. We all know the riffs, right? The way he played Jailbreak wasn't spot on either but we all know Rick knows what he's doing.
K-I-L-L-E-R!!!!
Really wish u didn't say the year of each song tho. MADE ME REALIZE HOW OLD I REALLY AM.
Wow! I could only ever dream of getting blocked because my tone and playing were BANG ON....You should be honored RB. 😂
Yeah no. 1 sounds KILLER!!! So good 🤟🏻
I love “girls got rhythm“, Bon Scott is just singing his balls off in that tune, it’s the most insane level of energy I’ve ever heard on a song.
Great show Rick. I love how you run the rain from classical through Jaz and Eve and the metalhead stuff. A professor from Peabody once told me “it all sounds good if your ears are big enough”
Agreed. I'm surprised that wasn't on here. Great riff.
Yep me three
I wholeheartedly agree
it's a great jam!
Every riff brings a smile to my face :) awesome
Love your stuff Rick.
Some many great riffs. I love playing Whole Lotta Rosie and Sin City.
I’ve always loved “Walk All Over You” I also think it’s a great example of how much both Malcom and Angus’ tones together were so important to AC/DC sounding the way they did, because you can hear it as soon as the second guitar comes in during the intro riff, it’s suddenly that AC/DC sound!
One of my fav's too!
I absolutely love Malcolm's riff from Thunderstruck. So subtle yet so masterful
Straight on Power Cords. Simple, but it keeps the build going.
Agreed!
I think it is the best one
@@gibblespascack1418simple until you try replicating the strumming pattern WELL
Well, he makes it look simple. @@meamzcs
I guess that is a commendation to your talent, that you played it so well that the UA-cam algorithm blocked you. That is literally amazing!
No two guitarists ever played off each other as well as the brothers.
And the only approval they ever needed... was each others.
“Let There Be Rock” has always been a monstrously heavy and amazing track to me. One of their best riffs; even though it lacks dexterity, it is RELENTLESS - and has an amazing intensity.
This one is definitely in my top five… mostly because I love rocking out to it so much. Also the video is amazing and cracks me up.
The live version from IYWBYGI is just one of the heaviest things ever recorded. The last verse “One night in the club called the Shakin Hand”, that one…is just so damn frenetic.
THANK YOU for including "Let there be Rock"! One of my favorite AC/DC songs. It DRIVES! However, the #1 for me will always be "For those About to Rock". Maybe he should do a Brian Johnson era list and a Bon Scott era list?
2:44 Shoot to Thrill is a/the perfect rock song. Not the best ever written, but it just has everything. Great riff, great chorus, great bridge, great solo, none overshadow the other, great arrangement.
I doubt even AC/DC would claim they write "the best" songs... but you've nailed it saying it's a perfect rock song. You just pop in one of their albums and it's rock distilled to its purest form.
Just don't try doing double nun-chucks to "Shoot to Thrill" , you will hurt yourself . believe me I know , after I woke up on the ground, back about 1981.
Granted the sets of nun-chucks were dis-similar/imbalanced, but I learned a couple good lessons then.
1. Don't use 2 sets of different nun-chunks
2 . don't use 2 sets while listening to Shoot to Thrill.
Still a good nunchucka song for practice though.
The speed, just goes, with the song/music :)
Way back in the '80s when I played high school football, we had two songs that were blasted in the locker room right before games by our co-captains: Two Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden and Shoot to Thrill. STT is just a great, straight-forward, fire-you-up rock and roll song.
I’m so proud to be Australian, growing up with these songs. Chucking this on at the family chrissy parties as the night went on and everyone putting on their best Angus young impressions
Great list, agree with it all because it’s such an easy list to make because you can’t go wrong, so many incredible riffs to choose from. My go to is “shot down in flames”
What an amazing commentary on Rick's skills - musically, recording and mixing - that Epic Records can't tell the difference between his recording and the original.
Not an iconic Riff, but: It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock'n'Roll - I absolutely adore the merge of guitar and bagpipes. Not mentioned enough imo.
I AGREE! @eva buschh... This song gets overlooked!! Loved the bagpipe/guitar duo and Bon's vocals..
Bagpipes need to be the new cow bell.
Imo the greatest use of bagpipes in any song ever.
I agree🤘🤘
no it goes: its a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll!
Awesome stuff. My favourite two are - What's next to the moon and Spellbound. Spellbound is superb, you hear Phil Rudd slowing the groove down at the start......
Awesome picks, one of my favourite riffs that is a bit underrated is Flick of the Switch. Great song and riff, and so simple.
"Hell Ain't A Bad Place Place To Be" is quintessential AC/DC rhythm.
Bad boy! Boogie!!
This is great riff as well as Let there be rock!
@@joekirkpatrick2833 My fave!!!!
👍
"Beatin' around the bush" from Highway to Hell is a great riff and a great intro. Just kick ass rock!
Defo in my top 10! 1st time I heard it I knew I had to learn it!
Definitely top 3
Top 5 material!
Amazing riff and high energy (and lifted from Peter Green's Oh Well?)
I knew 9 out of 10 like my own kids and loved the one that was new to me - Money Talks.
Man, you playing these simple, ballistic, AC/DC licks, I could hang with you all day.😉👍
I would say that "Ride On" is the closest to a ballad they did.
"Beating Around the Bush" has always been one of my favorites. I always loved songs with what I call a hesitant start-up, and then once the riff gets going, it just rolls on and on nonstop.
ride on for sure
Ride On and Love Song!
Two's Up is as mellow as they got with Brian...
Listen to Jesus Just Left Chicago by ZZ Top and you'll see why Ride On not best acdc riff.
@@davemccallion3252 damn, soundin pretty similar!
I think two are missing;
Have a Drink on Me is one of those riffs that when you hear it, you crank it up as loud as you can take it.
Beating Around the Bush is a hidden gem. Should have gotten more attention. Just a killer riff and a great songPure AC/DC.
Probably my favorite acdc song tbh
Beating Around the Bush is an awesome riff. Good call!
Girls Got Rhythm but there are no even average songs on Highway To Hell. The entire thing is a masterpiece.
AGREED ! I really look forward to Have a Drink on Me. Let’s face it drinking is, was and will ever be part of the Bands History. While not the most popular song anyone who enjoys a shot and a beer at a bar anywhere in the world gets this song. But the Song after the guitar solo @ 2:48 in builds and explodes like a boilermaker for 25 seconds to the finish, Those 25 - 30 seconds are AC/DC throwing down. Love this Song .
Absolutely 🤘
shook me all night long . love playing tha song as a warm up at times
Gone Shootin', Riff Raff, Touch Too Much, so many great riffs.
Whole Lotta Rosie is one of my favorite riffs. Pure energy and passion! If You Want Blood and Have a Drink on Me are also up there. Great job on being so good that UA-cam thought it was the record. Quite the compliment!!!
Problem Child's riff is so great I made it my ringtone so I could hear it more often.
Mucho y buen Material, Exelente trabajo, Amigo.
Night of the Long Knives is one of the best riffs (from the 'For Those About to Rock' album). A very underrated song of theirs......
Two honorable mentions I love, they're probably my favorite AC/DC songs to play: the chorus parts to "Touch too Much" and "Let Me Put My Love Into You".
'Gone Shootin' has two distinct parts played simultaneously! Can sit my living room and play that riff for hours
My favorite AC/DC song by a mile. Only one that comes close is "Ride On."
Love the list, Rick. I personally love Who made Who. The lick Angus plays during the verse still gives me a challenge to this day.
"What's Next to the Moon?" is my all time favorite AC/DC song!
I used to have "For Those About To Rock" as my alarm for a while, because it has such a nice crescendo in it, meaning I could set the alarm really loud, but the start still wasn't so loud to wake the neighbours. It worked for about two weeks, then I slept through that and woke up the neighbours in the process. I probably had a nice dream about attending an AC/DC concert though.
I have Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution edited to start when the band comes in as my alarm.
Beating around the Bush. The intro, the pauses, the groove, super fun to play.
Walk All Over You (especially live), Riff Raff, Evil Walks, For Those About To Rock, Gimme a Bullet, Overdose are some of my personal favs.
After 44 years I still get cold chills when I hear "Hells Bells" cranked up to _ear splitting!_ That's Rock and Roll!
Hells Bells is by far my favorite AC/DC song to play as a bassist. The Bell tolling to the build up to rock perfection gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
@@vinnymakone302 Exactly! 👍
I liked the way he used the word MYSTERY to describe hells bells. What a magical riff!! Hail AC/DC😈🤘😈
Classic track
Also c.o.d.brilliant tune
Agreed!
I don’t think Have a Drink on me gets enough love. The crescendo coming out of the guitar solo is pure fire.
absolutely!
Exactly... My fucking fave song from them probably
Yes!
Happy to see I only had to go four comments down to find this. Yes, Have a drink on me is a killer blues ring. My favorite.
Great video. Thank you.
awesome stuff!!! god.. i was like in 6th grade i think when back in black came out. every kid in school was listening to ac/dc. being a hooligan...getting in trouble...listening to ac/dc...didn't get better than that!!
Gone Shooting is criminally underrated. I can get lost in that riff for hours.
The basis for Beavis and Butt-head's theme! I love that riff, and it sounds so good and gratifying when you finally get it down.
i just played along. thaks
Fuck yeah, that's such a great song! Disappointed it didn't make the ranks T_T
Anything off of powerage is completely underrated. But it's a beast of an album. For sure. For real AC/DC fans
Agree!
I've always loved "It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock N Roll" that, and "Jailbreak" I think that's two of their catchiest riffs.
Right On! It's a Long Way to the Top should have been in the top ten!
Jail break a great riff
I love Jail Brake, down payment blues, the 2nd rift that you did is one of my favorite from the Bon Scott era, the majority of my fav are from B.S. era
Some of my favs not mentioned here... Bad Boy Boogie, What Do You Do For Money Honey, Night Prowler, Touch Too Much though is my all-time fav to jam along to a backing track.
I’m impressed how you DIDN’T put Thunderstruk in there; and even mentioned why. Great video. There are soooo many AC/DC riffs it’s difficult to narrow it down. Nice job Rick. Keep it up
Left out Thunderstruck because it's very tricky to play fast?
There's a Finnish bluegrass band that does a hella cover of Thunderstruck.
If you're missing it, and you like something a little different, try searching for Thunderstruck by Ally the piper with Buckets the drummer.. enjoy!
Is there any riff in Thunderstruck?
@@DefundTheFringes lmao
I wanted to hear the bagpipe riff from, "It's a Long Way to the Top, if you wanna Rock and Roll. "Walk All Over You" was another iconic riff.
Totally agree with your #1 pick. Iconic song
Great video and skill. For me, It's a long way to the top if you want to rock' n roll is right up there along with Gone shootin' and Down payment blues. But even if you did a top 20 you would still get more suggestions.
Some of the easiest riffs to play, but the hardest things to get right are the feel, groove, intensity and tightness of the riffs. Angus does all this while running around the stage non stop. You don't hear any unwanted notes or overtones...he cuts off the chords precisely! Amazing...they are rock!
Malcolm was amazing too
Australia. Among dozens of other strong bands. Aus rock, keeping it real for decades. Early Midnight Oil, Divinyls, Angels, Richard Clapton, Cold Chisel, Farnham, Mondo Rock, Matt Finish, Rose Tattoo, INXS, Australian Crawl, Hoodoo Gurus, Boom Crash Opera, Icehouse, Tina Arena!, Noiseworks, Dragon, The Models, Split Enz, Paul Kelly, Southern Sons, COG, Eurogliders, Pseudo Echo, The Swingers, Machinations, The Sports, Little River Band, Petter Cupples. Etc etc
Been here for 46 years,, and I'm English!
Angus and Malcolm had some incredible writing. How they complimented each other was just so perfect🤘 great video!
