Highway To Hell [Remaster] by AC/DC

Pros: Great production. In-your-face rock and roll. Classic guitar riffs.
Cons: The last album with Bon Scott.

By 1979, AC/DC was well on their way to establishing themselves as a truly powerful force in the world of rock and roll. Their overseas success was beginning to be matched in the United States, and the release of their 1979 album, Highway To ...

Pros: Highway To Hell, etc...
Cons: Maybe be too rough for some non-rock listeners

It’s been almost thirty years since AC/DC formed in Sydney, Australia. And even after the band’s many notable ups and downs their star continues to shine brighter and brighter. Their sound was original, hard-hitting, and extremely influential...

Pros: Maybe half the album is a grooving ode to hedonism.
Cons: I'd say four or five tracks are kinda dull, but I can't remember them.

Like a good rock tragic hero oughta, Bon Scott died just as AC/DC was reaching its creative high-water mark. Thank God he chose to poison himself with alcohol after Highway To Hell was in the can (I just learned that, contrary to urban ...

Pros: 10 bluesy Rock & Roll anthems for the ages!
Cons: Bon Scott's last album

Few rock bands can claim to have outlasted Punk, Heavy Metal and Britpop, but then, few rock bands are worthy of comparison to the mighty AC/DC. Form in the early 1970s by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, the AC/DC that recorded Highway To Hell ...

Pros: it's rock and roll done right
Cons: as usual, a lot of it sounds the same

When one thinks about rock and roll heavyweights AC/DC, no doubt there are certain images that come straight to mind. Guitarist Angus Young in his schoolboy outfit, drummer Phil Rudd smoking a cigarette while he plays the simplest drums you've...

Pros: ...
Cons: ...

AC/DC is:Bon Scott - vocalsAngus Young - lead guitarMalcolm Young - rhythm guitar, backing vocalsCliff Williams - bass, backing vocalsPhil Rudd - drumsThis is Bon Scott's infamous goodbye.  The year was 1979 ...

Pros: Mmm-mmm good riffage.
Cons: A lame song or two.

Rock and roll has had its share of premature deaths over its history; Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, John Bonham, the list rolls on. Bon Scott, former frontman for Australia’s musical mascot (from an American’s point of view) ...

Pros: Another collection of solid, muscular rock songs.
Cons: "Mutt" Lange's mainstreaming of the band's sound

When Jerry Lee Lewis played "Great Balls of Fire" in the 50s, the good, God-fearing, Cleaver-wannabes of Surburbia knew that their children were being seduced by the devil himself. It was more than just not liking the music or disdaining it as noise....

Pros: Bon Scott, all 10 songs.
Cons: Last Album with Bon Scott.

AC/DC, a band that millions of rock n roll fans alike would consider to be the greatest band in the history of rock n roll, new and old. And it is fair to say that this album is right up there with the best of their work. Personally, this is my favorite ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Bon is dead

AC/DC Produced By John Robert "Mutt" Lange Bon Scott- lead singer Angus Young- lead guitar Malcolm Young- rhythm guitar Cliff Williams- bassist Phil Rudd- drummer AC/DC has made 4 albums and live album during the 70’s, High ...

Pros: Powerful vocals. Great muscians.
Cons: Nada

I was too young to really appreciate the music of AC/DC when they first hit the airwaves in Australia back in 1975. Instead, I was introduced to their music when I was somewhat older, during the later part of the 1980’s.

I had always...

Pros: AC/DC's Best Material-Balls Out Rocking Tunes
Cons: Bon Scott's Untimely Death

AC/DC was a fledgling, struggling band searching for direction, until they hooked up with Bon Scott. Unique vocal style, animalistic stage presence and a mischievous demeanor that greatly influenced and solidified AC/DC's sound and attitude. Their career...

Pros: Rowdy rock and roll, awesome riffing and tight musicianship
Cons: I can't think of any

Highway to Hell is one of about a half dozen AC/DC albums that the true metal fan must have in his collection, and it's one of three albums from the Bon Scott era that are essential, not just for the sentimental value, but also because the songs...

Pros: The title track, "Girls Got Rhythm," "Night Prowler"
Cons: There's a good chance this kind of music just isn't your thing

I don't have a whole lot of respect for AC/DC musically. It's backwoods music, freedom rock inbred with devil rock, and it only works properly when you're drinking. But if you can dig it, you'll find there's not a weak link on Highway to Hell,...

Pros: AC/DC's Best Album With Bon.
Cons: Bon died less than a year after its release.

After a not so powerful Powerage, The Thunder From Down Under comes back in 1979 with an unforgettable album before the end of an unforgettable era.

Highway To Hell turned out to be the final album that AC/DC would record with Bon Scott on...
