AC/DC

AC/DC's raw power-chord sound has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, making them the best-selling Australian rock band of all time. Their 1980 album Back in Black alone sold an estimated 50 million copies, ranking as the second best-selling album in history globally and outperforming #2 INXS's total catalog of 75 million records by a factor of nearly three. The Young brothers' relentless riff-driven approach defined hard rock for generations, with hits like 'Highway to Hell' and 'Thunderstruck' still dominating airwaves. Their electrifying live shows, known for Angus's schoolboy antics, set a benchmark for energy that #4 Crowded House's introspective pop-rock cannot match.
