AC/DC-Highway To Hell (1979)

In mid-1979, the Australian band AC/DC released their sixth album, "Highway to Hell" which would ultimately become the last with lead singer Bon Scott at the helm. Scott died months later from alcohol poisoning, accidentally choking on his own vomit. But before this tragic event, the singer and his band, led by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, left behind a masterful album considered a masterpiece of hard rock. In this new release, produced by Robert "Mutt" Lange, they followed the same pattern as their previous albums, delivering powerful, blues-influenced rock and roll built on infernal riffs and an infectious, catchy rhythm. From the classic and immortal title track to the heavy blues rock of "Night Prowler", and including the immeasurable hard rock anthems "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)", "Shot Down In Flames", "Touch Too Much", "Beating Around The Bush", "Girls Got Rhythm", and "Walk All Over You", the album boasted a killer repertoire packed with anthems for most of their fans and for heavy rock fans in general. The album's subsequent reception earned them a dozen platinum records and sales exceeding twelve million copies worldwide.
