The Albums:
BACK IN BLACK
Back in Black is the ultimate example of a band turning a career-threatening negative into a remarkable positive and stands alongside such landmark albums as Van Halen, Led Zeppelin II, Are You Experienced?, and Paranoid as hard rock's greatest achievements. Following Bon Scott’s untimely death in early 1980, the band made an excellent choice in selecting Brian Johnson as their new vocalist; while he had the same bluesy edge as Scott, Johnson sang with more power and conviction. The first album from the new group, Back in Black, was issued only five months after Scott's passing but immediately rocketed up the charts, eventually becoming one of rock's all-time classics. As of 2012, it had sold an astounding 22 million copies in the U.S. alone.
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK WE SALUTE YOU
The suitably triumphant follow-up to Back In Black – the cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: “Let's Get It Up” and “Inject the Venom” are as subtle as their titles sound.
FLICK OF THE SWITCH
Originally released in 1983, Flick Of The Switch carries the spirit of the band's hard rock crunch with capable aplomb. Massive guitar riffs that could capsize a medium size boat, a stomping 4/4-rhythm section and Brian Johnson screeching like a banshee on the warpath. The album's highlights are the mid-tempo “Rising Power,” and the bruising title track. When Johnson screams “With a flick of the switch she'll blow you sky high” on the latter, AC/DC proves itself still capable of explosive outbursts.
FLY ON THE WALL
Instead of radically altering its sound like many other hard rock bands of the era did after weak-selling albums, AC/DC admirably stuck to its guns and continued in a bluesy hard rock direction with 1985's Fly On The Wall. Highlights include “Shake Your Foundations” and “Sink the Pink” – both of which later appeared on Who Made Who, the soundtrack to the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive.
BLOW UP YOUR VIDEO
Their first new studio album of all-new material in three years, 1988's Blow Up Your Video turned out to be AC/DC’s most successful album since 1981's For Those About to Rock. The driving album opener, “Heatseeker,” turned out to be a surprising Top Ten single in the U.K., while the anthemic “That's the Way I Want to Rock n' Roll” proved to be another highlight.
