VSQ’s version of this AC/DC classic is a new classic in its own right!
Blows everyone away when they hear it for the first time, and thrills them every other time. I love sharing VSQ with people.
I really adore all of the Radiohead songs. Perhaps Optimistic or Nude–the vibrato on the latter one is especially great. The Piano Knows Something I Don’t (Panic) is nice, too. Viva la Vida seems to be winning, so I’ll contribute and suggest that also…
I didn’t realize until now that there was more than one version of Back in Black by VSQ…
So to clarify, its the version from the album ‘Back in Baroque’ that is completely amazing and blows people I share it with away.
The other version from ‘VSQ performs AC/DC’, ehhh, not so memorable.
in no particular order:
hallelujah – john cale
daughters – john mayer
sweet child o’ mine – guns & roses
Tuesday’s gone – lynyrd skynyrd
what sarah said – death cab for cutie
wanted dead or alive – bon jovi
out of control – hoobastank
boulevard of broken dreams – green day
battery – metallica
lightning crashes – live

Your version will be the song that I will get married to
