AC/DC
1977

By the late summer of 1977, AC/DC were ripping things up across many parts of the world. Bon Scott had joined the Young brothers to form AC/DC three years earlier, and the group’s first worldwide release, High Voltage, was issued in 1976 on Atlantic - the label they had recently signed an international deal with. The album release garnered the group a large following in the UK, where Sounds magazine sponsored their UK tour, gaining the band a large following in the then emerging punk community, despite Bon Scott announcing publicly his disdain for the movement.
