AC/DC

Legendary Australian hard rock band

AC/DC is an iconic Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Their music is characterized by a hard rock/blues rock sound, and they are considered pioneers of heavy metal, though they have always classified their music simply as "rock and roll." AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, "High Voltage," in 1975. The band's career was marked by the success of their albums "Highway to Hell" in 1979 and "Back in Black" in 1980, the latter being a tribute to their former lead singer Bon Scott who died earlier that year and was replaced by Brian Johnson. "Back in Black" went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time. The band's live performances are legendary, capturing their raw energy and electrifying stage presence, which was further immortalized in the live album "Live," released in 1992. AC/DC's enduring popularity has made them one of the highest-grossing bands of all time, with a career that spans over four decades and includes numerous awards and honors. Their influence on rock music is undeniable, with a legacy that continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.
