Music I love ... AC/DC

I'm not sure what is going on with me. Usually I listen to the same shit in the Linkin' Park/AFI/30 Seconds to Mars genre. I do deviate, but lately I'm all over the place. A few weeks ago, I don't know why, I decided to make a "hair bands" station on my Pandora and it is fucking awesome. I've been listening to music I remember from middle school like Guns'n'Roses, Motley Crew and Skid Row, and it makes me really happy. But I also have gained a new found appreciation for two bands: AC/DC and Whitesnake.

So of course I recognize most of the AC/DC music, but I never really listened to them on purpose. My coworker told me that it's "devil music." I think she was kidding (she's a little hard to judge sometimes) but either way, I've decided that I really like it. But don't ask me to comment on the whole Axl Rose controversy. Sorry Axl, just ... no. BTW, I'm going to create a new Pandora station called "devil music." We'll see what they play.

I had a Whitesnake poster right next to my New Kids on the Block poster on my wall when I was in middle school. I remember it because my mom didn't like it 'cause those dudes were all chest hair. I had a poster but I did not have any of their tapes (yes, tapes). But they have awesome songs that until recently, I just didn't realize were theirs, like "Is This Love?" and "Here I Go Again." So I'm giving them credit now people. Check it. And don't judge, I'm old.

For real, Pandora is great. So let's all create a new station, be it based in nostalgia or curiosity or devil worship, whatevs (just kidding mom). Just do it. It will make you happy. And seriously, don't you get tired of the same shit all the time?

Definitely devil music ...

"Highway To Hell"

Livin' easy
Livin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs
Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel
Gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey, Satan
Payin' my dues
Playin' in a rockin' band
Hey, mamma
Look at me
I'm on the way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell

Don't stop me

I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell

(highway to hell) I'm on the highway to hell
(highway to hell) highway to hell
(highway to hell) highway to hell
(highway to hell)

And I'm goin' down
All the way
I'm on the highway to hell
