Accadacca classic added to National Archive

Long way to the shop if you wanna sausage roll

"AC/DC's It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) is among this year's additions to the National Film and Sound Archive's sound registry."
...
"Archive senior curator Matthew Davies says the registry aims to preserve famous sounds with historical or social significance.

"Sound always has the ability to invoke our memory, so when you play a recording, it has the sense of the time and place where it was made," he said."

Yes, it may confirm my inner-bogan, but IMHO the song is THE greatest Australian rock'n'roll song of all time.

Mark Evans (former AC/DC bass player) was on Triple M this morning and said THIS is one of his greatest memories of his time with the band. The clip was done live and produced by Molly Meldrum...

about time...an iconic song and clip

THE greatest Australian rock'n'roll song of all time

Up there for sure.

I played it for my now 24 year old daughter (a few years back when she was less worldly), and her reaction was "meh, call yourself music". I nearly slapped her.

Amazing how 3 simple chords can be so infectious.

The excellent TV series of the same name is doing the rounds again on ABC 2 - Sunday nights from mem.
