AC/DC get Street named after them

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 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."

Ms Kitching said the naming of the lane would be an alternative to giving the band keys to the city.

"We have recently tightened up our keys to the city program, but in the past we have given them to New Kids on the Block and Dolly Parton."

She said the council would make a decision on the name change within the next month, but it had already received broad community support.

AC/DC already have a street named after them in Madrid called "Calle de AC/DC in Madrid".
