Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.6/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

As good as the main riff in Back In Black is, the riff underneath the guitar solo is even better.
One of the best hard rock songs of all time.

Is this band the king of riffs? Great rhythm too.
Iconic riff.

Obra-prima!
Conspiracy theory: This song is actually in 25/37. Think About It.

Great riff. Best song on the album.

Best of Brian's vocal.
Iconic classic rock song, great riff, great rhythm, and all round great track that will always be a fan favorite in AC/DC's catalog
11/10
The best AC/DC song ever. The ultimate bad boy song. The lyrics are great, the song is very catchy, and I think Run-D.M.C. could cover this one, too. That would be a good idea.

One of the most recognizable rock songs of all time. The riff is a rock n roll staple. AC/DC rewrote rock n roll with this song.
