AC/DC is a hard rock band from Australia, formed in 1973 by Angus and Malcolm Young. Over the years, the band has undergone several lineup changes and collaborations with talented musicians. They have achieved immense success worldwide and are considered Australia's most successful rock band ever. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003 as a performer.

The band's journey began with Angus and Malcolm Young teaming up with Dave Evans, Larry Van Kriedt, and Colin Burgess. As they progressed, there were various changes in their lineup, including replacements for vocals, bass, and drums. Notably, Bon Scott joined as the vocalist after Dave Evans left in 1974.

In 1980 tragedy struck when Bon Scott passed away at the age of 33. Brian Johnson then stepped in to fill his shoes on vocals for AC/DC's iconic album "Back In Black," which became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The band continued to evolve over the years with new members joining and departing.

the mid 1980s weren't too kind to ac/dc. after a string of million selling albums, the band saw its sales decline, and it lost much of its thunder to more polished, radio-friendly groups (van halen, motley crue, def leppard). ac/dc could have jumped on a bandwagon, done the usa for africa thing, and dabble with synths to be more "relevant" and "current" with the times. instead, they released in 1985 "fly on the wall," which stubbornly follows the same formula these aussies have been using since the early 1970s. this release seems to get a bad rap in some circles, and let's be honest: it won't make anyone forget about "highway to hell." even so, it's 40 minutes of pure dumb fun that makes for a wild ride. the singles "danger" and "sink the pink" are obnoxiously loud anthems that have singer brian johnson and guitarist angus young doing what they do best: create catchy and head-banging rockers. johnson's voice always sounded like he swallowed a box of nails, but it sounds even more mangled on this cd. and the music, remastered with care by sony, projects with aggressive force and sounds best when played at maximum volume. in retrospect, "fly on the wall" is one of ac/dc's more underrated albums.
