AC/DC

AC/DC, formed by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young in 1973, became the greatest rock band the world had to offer. Out of Australia, AC/DC, who obtained their name from a sewing machine, began their career with their first singer Dave Evans. Dave Evans, due to his glam rock style, much like Gary Glitter's, was unsuitable for the position as front man. instead in 1974,  Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott, who at the time was the front man for the band Fraternity, was chosen for the position as AC/DC next singer. Bon Scott, ironically, during the Dave Evans era was their driver for getting them from gig to gig. Mark Evans, Their bassist, was Eventually replaced by Cliff Williams. Malcolm Young was the rhythm guitarist. Phil Rudd became the drummer, and Angus young was their lead guitarist. Before Scott's death in 1980, AC/DC had made five studio albums, High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let Their Be Rock, Powerage, and Highway to Hell. Scott, before his time recommended Front man Brian Johnson of the band Geordie for their next singer. Brian proved to be a great predecessor tofBon. From 1980 till the present, ten albums were released.

I consider Bon Scott's five studio albums the bible of rock and roll. Iconicly, they have made their way to the top without even trying. Angus Young's power when he steps up on stage is like none other. Although their music hasn't changed since they were sanctioned, they continue to arouse rock and roll fans around the world. I dare some one to last forty years as AC/DC has without changing their sound, and be as great as they have been. To me AC/DC has given to us the purest of rock and roll that any one can give. Their inspiration, Chuck Berry had a lot to do with that. The Thunder from down under they were called.
