It's only rock n' roll but I like it

I've been listening to a lot of AC/DC recently. Today while listening to Back in Black I tried to remember when I bought the record. Here's the story:

I was very young. How young is a little difficult to say but I was probably eleven or twelve. I had just come back from summer camp. My counsellors used to play random records during the rest hour we had right after lunch. I didn't really know at the time, but it was mix of Kiss, Guns' n Roses, AC/DC and Metallica - all the popular rock acts of the time. Being very young (and usually asleep), I didn't know which was which but I enjoyed some of it. After I got home, I had my parents take me to the local record store in the mall. I wanted to buy some of music I heard. I could only remember two things - one of the bands was named AC/DC and that I really liked the song "Rock n' Roll All Night" but didn't know the exact title. Armed with this knowledge, I went to the record store and purchased Back in Black, assuming that the song I liked would be on it. I thought "You Shook Me All Night Long" was "Rock n' Roll All Night".

I was really young. Imagine my shock when I was mistaken. I wasn't, however, disappointed with my choice. AC/DC is awesome... and it still rocks.
