I wouldnt say it is a best song overall. Its bloody damn good, & definitely as far as Bon was concerned one of his best singing performances throughout his career with regard to hitting the right notes on a song which made it appeal to hard-core fans as well as mainstream radio, whether this was the intention or not I dunno. I feel that it just came out like this when they recorded it & whereas AC/DC want to please themselves & the fans, Mutt-Lange was looking for commercial success, so it kinda struck the happy balance for the Highway To Hell album which made both the band & producer happy, coz AC/DC have never for themselves tried or wanted to be a commercial singles band. Funnily enough I think this album turned out to be one of Mutts first big commercial successes, considering the album as a whole is not a stereotypical commercial offering. It rocks & rocks hard, but it pricked many more people`s ears up to the fact that there is a band called AC/DC and that they have kick-ass songs which are addictive to the ears, & rock their heart out, and you wanna buy more & hear more, etc
