THEY have been revered for their rock anthem Highway to Hell, but legendary band AC/DC could soon lay claim to their own Melbourne lane.
Melbourne City Council is considering renaming Corporation Lane, a narrow alley which runs off Flinders Lane, AC/DC Lane as a tribute to the band.
Council city services committee chairwoman Kimberly Kitching said the lane was close to Swanson Street where the band filmed its legendary film clip to It's a Long Way to the Top.
"They are probably the most successful Australian band ever and they really do have a connection to Melbourne," she said.
"I don't think there would be many who wouldn't know that film clip where they are playing on the back of a flatbed truck along Swanson Street."
She said it all started because Melbourne's rock and roll community was looking for a fitting tribute to the band.
"The area around the lane is full of rock and roll bars and I think it would be a fitting place for the tribute," she added.

the real rolling stones to me..and now a piece of asphalt carries their name..or would giving the name to some 5 ft aboriginee hill be more rock'n'roll?

i've always thought that ac/dc were underappreciated... i guess not. there's no doubt in my mind that back in black stands out as one of hard rock's greatest albums, along with van halen, are you experienced and paranoid.
