Formed in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, AC/DC quickly rose to prominence in the hard rock scene. The band gained international success with their sixth album, Highway to Hell, in 1979. Following the death of frontman Bon Scott in 1980, AC/DC recruited Brian Johnson and released their most successful album, Back in Black, which remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Throughout the '80s, '90s, and beyond, AC/DC continued to define the sound of hard rock and metal, achieving consistent commercial success and playing to massive crowds on global tours.
Known for their gritty riffs and anthemic choruses, AC/DC's early years saw lineup changes and a string of successful albums, including High Voltage and T.N.T. The tragic death of Bon Scott led to a resurgence with Brian Johnson and the monumental success of Back in Black. Despite challenges and lineup shifts over the years, AC/DC maintained their status as a top concert draw and released several chart-topping albums, including The Razor's Edge and Power Up. With a legacy spanning decades, AC/DC remains a powerhouse in the rock music world.
