AC/DC
AC/DC are an Aussie rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Their music has been widely described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, but the band themselves call it simply "rock and roll".
AC/DC experienced several line-up changes before releasing their first album, 1975's High Voltage. Membership stabilised around the Young brothers, singer Bon Scott, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Mark Evans. Evans was thrown out from the band in 1977 and to be replaced by Cliff Williams, who has appeared on all AC/DC albums since 1978's Powerage.

The group considered disbanding in 1980 but decided to stay together, bringing in longtime Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson. Later that year, the band released their first album with Johnson, Back in Black. The album launched AC/DC to new heights of stardom and became one of the best selling albums of all time.
