In the entirety of live rock ’n’ roll; 16,000 strong, testosterone-fueled arena-packed, rock ’n’ roll; For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) stands alone as its anthem. Make no mistake about it, that is why this record makes the list. The other nine songs are pure AC/DC as well, in that they hit all the check boxes. Sexual innuendo, over-the top sexual innuendo, huge guitar-god riffs, over-the-top sexual not innuendo. It’s all here.
But damn. For Those About to Rock is another animal. Imagine having been able to harvest the combined energy that song produced by those who have ever listened to it. Anthem aside, you could put somebody with no concept of rocking, or saluting, in front of that song and they’d immediately know what to do. I think that’s reason enough.
