Guitar World placed \"You Shook Me All Night Long\" number 80 on their \"100 Greatest Guitar Solos\" list.
The song has also become a staple of AC/DC concerts, almost never being excluded from the setlist, and it has also been considered their signature song, competing with \"Back in Black\" and \"Highway to Hell\" for the title.
