AC⚡ DC
Legendary rock band 🎸🎸🎸
AC/DC's mammoth power-chord roar became one of the most influential hard
rock sounds of the '70s and helped define the style as the years
progressed. Founded by Scottish-born brothers
Malcolm and Angus Young, the Aussie
band exploded onto the international stage in 1979 with the release of
their multi-platinum-selling sixth album,
Highway to Hell.
The death of charismatic frontman Bon Scott in 1980 threatened to derail
the group, but AC/DC powered through. They recruited Geordie vocalist
Brian Johnson and unleashed their most successful
effort to date, Back in Black , which has become the
second best-selling album in history. The band spawned countless
imitators over the next two decades and enjoyed commercial success well
into the 2000s, with 2020's Power Up debuting at number one on multiple
charts.
