Some of these are very, very different

It’s time again for my weekly Rate-A-Record installment, aka The Series That Refuses to Die. I should start by explaining the “non-Springsteen” disclaimer in the title; it’s there because back in April I did a story pitting four Bruce songs against four by other artists that shared the same title. You can read that one below:
This time there is no Bruce (sadly), but there are once again four pairs of songs with the same title that are in some cases as different as night and day. I like all of them, otherwise they wouldn’t be here, but when forced to choose between each pair (as I will ask you to do in addition to rating them), I was surprised by a few of my answers.
“Jailbreak” — AC/DC (1974) and Thin Lizzy (1976)
