AC/DC

Even the most diehard AC/DC fan would be hard-pressed to claim the veteran Aussie rock act is an overly original concern, but they'll have an even more difficult time convincing the naysayers now, thanks to a US-based breakfast-radio DJ who believes he's figured out one of the band's oldest tricks.

As Ultimate Classic Rock reports, Phoenix radio DJ Paul "Neanderpaul" Marshall has taken the time to complete the wholly unnecessary but altogether enlightening task of sequencing "almost every AC/DC song ever recorded" — he omitted the few of their tracks that utilise the classic, terrible fadeout — because he "thought it'd be 'funny' to see how many times AC/DC ends their songs in a similar fashion".
