AC/DC is an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. The band's music has been described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, and is characterized by its high-energy sound and straightforward, riff-driven songs. The original lineup of AC/DC included lead vocalist Dave Evans, but he was replaced by Bon Scott in 1974. Scott's powerful, gravelly voice and charismatic stage presence helped to define the band's sound and image, and he recorded six albums with AC/DC before his untimely death in 1980. After Scott's death, the band recruited Brian Johnson as their new lead vocalist, and he has remained with the band ever since. AC/DC has released numerous albums over the years, including "High Voltage," "Highway to Hell," "Back in Black," and "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)." The band's music has been hugely influential on the rock genre, and their high-energy performances and catchy riffs have made them one of the most popular and enduring rock bands of all time. Some of their most famous songs include "Highway to Hell," "Thunderstruck," "Back in Black," and "You Shook Me All Night Long." AC/DC has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists in history. AC/DC I (1973 - 1974)
