The study examined over 800 songs and compared their theology to the Scriptures, and found that the Australian rock group's 1979 classic was "significantly more accurate" than over 96% of them.
"While modern worship songs tend to contain little theology, an anemic view of sin, and a poor understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit, 'Highway to Hell' has a very biblical view of the doctrine of hell," a CCLI rep said. "Lead singer Bon Scott had a clear understanding of man's natural inclination toward sin and the inevitable judgment of God that follows."Further findings confirmed that other metal classics like Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast," Metallica's "Master of Puppets," and Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" were also more accurate than most songs played on Air1 or K-LOVE.
"Just take a look at some of those lyrics in that hard-hitting first verse," the head CCLI researcher told reporters. "'Don't need reason, don't need rhyme, Ain't nothing I would rather do / Going down, party time, My friends are gonna be there too.'"
"Bon Scott's understanding of mankind's depravity clearly rivaled anything Paul wrote in the third chapter of Romans," he added. "It's better than that song that keeps inviting the Holy Spirit in like He's some kind of coy puppy dog."

AC/DC (who were utter sh*te) don't really count, as Bon Scott and the Young brothers were Scottish.
I n terms of huge cultural wastelands, Canada is probably even worse. Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, Leonard Cohen ain't exactly a cornucopia of jollies, and they had to up sticks to L.A. and NY before they could do anything.
Only 24 million??? The mainly poverty-stricken island of Jamaica only has a population of about 2.7 million and look at the cultural output they've produced over the past 50 years. All Australia has produced in the same time period is barbeques.
Now back to barbecuing vegemite prawns while wearing footy shorts, tank top and thongs while polishing off a slab of beer. Oh, and don't forget the slouch hat with dangling corks.
On the downside, riding my kangaroo to work really makes my balls ache

No? I thought not. Ah well, could be worse. The only un-expatriated Canadian I ever heard of was Jordan Peterson. LOL.
I only have to hear the word 'Toronto', and a thick grey cloud starts forming above my head.
Typical conversation with a Canadian in Europe....
"Are you American?"
"No, actually I'm a Canadian"
"Really? (Yawn). Oh is that the time? Sorry, must be off, I've got a train to catch"'
"Now back to barbecuing vegemite prawns while wearing footy shorts, tank top and thongs while polishing off a slab of beer."
Ah, that's not so wrong.
You totally lack style. Oh brother O-o
Maybe that's why it was named CA NADA. LOL.

I feel I've already made my point, but anyway....
I can tell you 1001 sh*t things about England, 1001 sh*t things about Europe, but you can't even tell me one good thing about Canada?
Canada, a vast cultural wasteland, populated by people who in two hundred years can't even be bothered to create their own culture never mind contribute much to anyone else's.
"Bullies are stupids."
Canada demands safe spaces for stupids!!!!

The most common alternative theory suggested that the name originated when Spanish or Portuguese explorers, having explored the northern part of the continent and unable to find gold and silver , wrote el cabo de nada ("Cape Nothing"), acá nada,aqui nada or cá nada ("no-thing here") on that part of their maps.[9] An alternative explanation favoured by philologist Marshall Elliott linked the name to the Spanish word cañada, meaning "glen" or "valley".[10][11]
