And if there's one album from that time that illustrates best what the mighty 'DC was all about during those years, it has to be “Highway To Hell“.

Highway to Hell is the sixth studio album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 27 July 1979. It was the last album featuring lead singer Bon Scott, who would die early the following year on 19 February 1980. It propelled the band into the top ranks of hard rock acts. It is the second highest-selling AC/DC album (behind Back in Black) and is generally considered one of the greatest hard rock albums ever made. Greg Kot of Rolling Stone writes, “The songs are more compact, the choruses fattened by rugby-team harmonies. The prize moment: Scott closes the hip-grinding 'Shot Down in Flames' with a cackle worthy of the Wicked Witch of the West.“ In a 2008 Rolling Stone cover story, David Fricke notes: “Superproducer 'Mutt' Lange sculpted AC/DC's rough-granite rock into chart-smart boogie on this album.“ AllMusic calls the song “Highway to Hell“ “one of hard rock's all-time anthems.“ In 2003, the album was ranked number 199 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and 200 in a 2012 revised list. All tracks are written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott.
