Maybe not AC/DC, You could do Ozzy Osbourne's 'Over The Mountain'. It deals with Astral projection. You have to pretty relaxed to do that (and probably be on Acid?)

Gone Shootin' for sure. Although, if I'm honest, I relax to any 'DC (besides Love Song and Anything Goes...) lol

How can someone be relaxed over AC/DC songs?I don't get it.I can relax with a ballad or something but not with Hard Rock.

I don't know sapator, I kinda relax while listening to AC/DC. Just bob my head and do some air drums, bass, and guitar and tap my feet. I think I'm going with Gone Shootin'

What I'm getting across sap, is AC/DC (and most classic rock in general) Just make me "feel good". I can blast Spellbound,Hells Bells,Ride On,Gone Shootin' or any other a number of 'DC tunes and just feel better. I'm not saying I turn down the lights,close the shades,lie down on a sofa and light in-scents, lol..... Just than I can relax/calm down to some kick ass riffs. Blues does the same as well, music is the best medicine. If ya get what I mean, Not tryin' to be philosophical....lol

Ah, ok then.Well i pictured relaxing on what flick said, with closed shades and a glass of wine or something and i said WTF?You know.The "other" relaxing is better i guess.With that relaxing someone can punch people or break down windows or start riots.I prefer that kind of relaxing :P .We do a lot or that relaxing in Greece lately.Yep nothing more relaxing that skin our politician alive and burn the parliament down.Ahhh good ol' relaxing!..Err of course with AC/DC music on the background else it would be a proper relaxation.

Yeah, I like AngusRudd's version of relaxation, sort of what I do along with cranking the volume knob up as loud as my walls and pictures will allow, cracking open a cold beer, and 'Breaking All The Rules' ;)

maybe Rock N Roll Dream...? I agree with Gone Shootin' from a musical perspective (love that song), but isn't it about some chick who overdosed on heroin?

Lol at SGthunder33, yes it is but I described in the musical aspect rather than lyrically. How the music is laid back and the band doesn't really attack with this one like they do on every other song

@AngusRudd yeah that's what got me hooked on that song too. I enjoy listening to the live version as well but I feel like when they did it live it was always slightly too fast. I just love the whole Powerage album in general though. When it comes to listening to an AC/DC album all the way through it doesn't get much better than that. It has the best blues vibe out of any of them. I also think that the lack of commercial hits makes it so special in the eyes of the true AC/DC fans; anyone can talk about Highway to Hell or Back In Black but Powerage, that's something only people like us can truly discuss and appreciate inside and out. From the Brian-era albums I've always related Ballbreaker to Powerage, but I think that when the next album comes out (hopefully there is one) it'll have a much closer Powerage-feel to it. Brian's an excellent blues singer, and with the way his voice is now compared to the 80s I think the band might capitalize on that for more songs than they did on Black Ice.

I agree man, Powerage is my favorite album...Riff Raff, Sin City, Kicked In The Teeth, DOWN PAYMENT BLUES!!!It's just pure power and loud marshall's, plus Bon's lyrics are outstanding. I also have a good feeling about the next album because Brian mentioned how much he liked Powerage on That Metal Show, so maybe they will shoot for doing something like it.
