AC/DC
With "Highway to Hell" and "Back in Black", the Australians achieved worldwide recognition from the late 1970s and significantly shaped the hard rock genre. The band is known for their consistent guitar sound and the distinctive vocals of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. For decades, their albums and singles have been among the best-selling rock releases worldwide.
AC/DC – Style & Genre Classification
The music of AC/DC is firmly rooted in hard rock and stylistically moves between blues rock and classic rock’n’roll. Characteristic features are the raw guitar riffs, driving rhythm and simple song structures, comparable to bands like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple. The band largely avoids ballads and electronic elements, instead relying on an energetic, guitar-driven style that has changed little since the 1970s.
