Despite its rather ominous name, Highway to Hell was the album that set AC/DC's career on a fast track to hard rock heaven when it was released on Aug. 3, 1979.
No one listens to AC/DC records for variety. As one enterprising DJ recently discovered, however, many of the band's songs might have even more in common than we realized.
AC/DC have finally decided that allowing their music to be featured on streaming services such as Spotify ain't no riddle man... to them it makes good, good sense.
Brian Johnson has long since earned his spot at the mic in AC/DC, but in the summer of 1980, he was still just starting out as the new guy in the band.
It seems hard to believe all these years later, but AC/DC were dropped by their U.S. record label prior to the release of their fourth album, Let There Be Rock, in June 1977.
