HIGH VOLTAGE
High Voltage was the first chance America had to glimpse the raw power of Australia's best hard rock outfit. From their earliest days, lead guitarist Angus Young, who wore nothing but traditional schoolboy attire, led this band of hooligans with gleeful perversity and balls-out ambition. Riding over the top of the battering rhythm section is the all-too-true sneer of vocalist Bon Scott, who brings sexist anthems to a previously unachieved high (or low, depending on your reference point).

The single from this record, “T.N.T,” got AC/DC into rock radio rotation and gave metal fans a template of the brand of molten lava the band would later weld into perfection. The formula for which the group would eventually become famous – songs based around three crunching power chords and the high-pitched squeal of a man who sounds like he's just been unleashed from the reformatory – is firmly established here.

DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP
Originally released in 1975, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap did not hit the U.S. until 1981, when AC/DC became rock icons the previous year and fans were growing hungry for more material featuring the band's late singer, Bon Scott. The record was worth the wait. The title track became a concert staple for the band, but Dirty Deeds' most well-known track is arguably “Big Balls,” a sleazy, ambiguous number that would become one of the band's most well-recognized songs. 

LET THERE BE ROCK
Let There Be Rock kicks up the energy level a notch from its predecessor, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, making for a bracing hard rock record of blasting guitar and basic, aggressive grooves. While slightly more metallic, AC/DC's sound was still bluesier than it would be by the time of the band's commercial breakthrough. Appealing in spite of himself, Bon Scott delivers his leering double entendres and humorous asides with typical panache, while the Young brothers' guitars bite, kick, and scratch behind him. AC/DC classics on hand include “Problem Child,” “Whole Lotta Rosie,” and “Bad Boy Boogie.”

POWERAGE
AC/DC's fourth international studio album, 1978's Powerage, followed the blueprint set by 1977's Let There Be Rock — tales of the hard life merged with lethal, cranked-to-ten, unpolished hard rock. Powerage contains the AC/DC classic, the gloriously sleazy anthem “Sin City,” as well as 'Rock n' Roll Damnation” and “Riff Raff” which would be featured in concert on the ensuing tour. 

HIGHWAY TO HELL
Given that Bon Scott's hard-partying, sex-booze-and-brawls lifestyle tragically caught up with him some six months after Highway to Hell was released, the album-opening title track — one of hard rock's all-time classics — now takes on an eerie resonance. Highway to Hell distills all the virtues of AC/DC's signature minimalism — loud, simple, pounding riffs, and grooving backbeats — into the tightest batch of songs the group had written to that point.  Highway to Hell is not only a fitting epitaph for Scott, it's also a classic rock & roll album and quite possibly the best guitar-driven record in history.
