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.    

BACK IN BLACK  Back in Black is the ultimate example of a band turning a career-threatening negative into a remarkable positive and stands alongside such landmark albums as Van Halen, Led Zeppelin II, Are You Experienced?, and Paranoid as hard rock's greatest achievements. Following Bon Scott’s untimely death in early 1980, the band made an excellent choice in selecting Brian Johnson as their new vocalist; while he had the same bluesy edge as Scott, Johnson sang with more power and conviction. The first album from the new group, Back in Black, was issued only five months after Scott's passing but immediately rocketed up the charts, eventually becoming one of rock's all-time classics. As of 2012, it had sold an astounding 22 million copies in the U.S. alone.   FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK WE SALUTE YOU  The suitably triumphant follow-up to Back In Black – the cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: “Let's Get It Up” and “Inject the Venom” are as subtle as their titles sound.   FLICK OF THE SWITCH  Originally released in 1983, Flick Of The Switch carries the spirit of the band's hard rock crunch with capable aplomb. Massive guitar riffs that could capsize a medium size boat, a stomping 4/4-rhythm section and Brian Johnson screeching like a banshee on the warpath. The album's highlights are the mid-tempo “Rising Power,” and the bruising title track. When Johnson screams “With a flick of the switch she'll blow you sky high” on the latter, AC/DC proves itself still capable of explosive outbursts.  FLY ON THE WALL  Instead of radically altering its sound like many other hard rock bands of the era did after weak-selling albums, AC/DC admirably stuck to its guns and continued in a bluesy hard rock direction with 1985's Fly On The Wall. Highlights include “Shake Your Foundations” and “Sink the Pink” – both of which later appeared on Who Made Who, the soundtrack to the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive.  BLOW UP YOUR VIDEO  Their first new studio album of all-new material in three years, 1988's Blow Up Your Video turned out to be AC/DC’s most successful album since 1981's For Those About to Rock. The driving album opener, “Heatseeker,” turned out to be a surprising Top Ten single in the U.K., while the anthemic “That's the Way I Want to Rock n' Roll” proved to be another highlight.
