Your favorites of these classic "hard rock" 70s songs

[njfirefighter]

Man on the Silver Mountain
Aqualung
Highway to Hell
Frankenstein
Running with the Devil

Iron Man and Smoke on the Water were discounted due to over air play.

[bosk1]

By that logic, shouldn't Highway To Hell be discounted as well?

[TAC]

Highway To Hell is the perfect song and can never be overplayed.

Yeah it's in that ballpark, but I had the other two albums from an early age, I didn't get into AC/DC till a bit later so I gave that one a little leeway.

Actually, come to think of it, I never heard that song on the radio all that much.  I heard it so much because has Y&T used it as their intro tape since the early '80s, so I've heard it at every single one of the many Y&T gigs I have seen through the years.  Disregard.

As a Rush head I have to say that Fly by Night was always just good, but not a great Rush song to me. I get why it's radio-friendly, it's one of their simple songs.

[Indiscipline]

Aqualung - On a completely different level than the others.
The Real Me - See above
Highway to Hell - Perfect rock tune. Fun story, and I swear it's true, it's my company's bus driver focking cell phone ring tone. Good times.
Don't Fear the Reaper - Charming mix of sweet and rocking.
Frankenstein - Monster groove.

Deep Purple is my all time favourite band with DT, but I never cared much for Smoke on the Water.

Fun story, and I swear it's true, it's my company's bus driver focking cell phone ring tone.

My ring tone is the opening to Where Eagles Dare. As soon as I hear the drums, I know a call is coming in.

My text tone is the beginning of Master Of Puppets. Dun dun-dun-dun

[Indiscipline]

I expected nothing less! Mine are (Thread hijacking alert!):

Calls: Peaches en Regalia
Texts: Aqualung Riff
Whatsapp: 21st Century Schizoid Man Riff
Mails: Pull Me Under (first 3 notes EBG)
Alarm clock: Baba O'Riley (Pete's entrance)

[TAC]

Awesome!

No Brachetti? I hear he's pretty good!

[Indiscipline]

That's for System Failure Alert.

[Stadler]

Ooh!  Ringtones!

"Monkey Man" is my generic ring tone.
"Hear About It Later" is my ring tone for my ex-wife.
Rick Wakeman's keyboard interlude at about 4:30 in "Awaken" is my daughter's ring tone.
"Closer To The Heart" is my ring tone for my dad.
The acoustic intro to "Women In Love" is my ring tone for my wife.

I have about 20 or 25 that I made myself to use here and there, though I don't change them often.

Others that I use (for alarms and stuff):
"Woman From Tokyo"
"Who Are You"
"You Can't Kill Rock And Roll"
"Supernaut"
"Linus And Lucy"
"Gimme Shelter"
"Cinema"
"Deuce"

There are more.
