168: AC/DC LET THERE BE ROCK - Album Dive

“In the beginning...back in 1955...”

While it’s the first album sporting the trademark lightning bolt logo (and the last album with Mark Evans on bass), AC/DC’s 1977 masterpiece LET THERE BE ROCK remains a quintessential chapter in the AC/DC catalog and is without question one of the most blistering albums of their legendary 70’s output.

Featuring the furiously unrestrained lyrical genius of Bon Scott, the limitless kinetic headbanging and scorching guitar pyrotechnics of Angus Young, and the rock-solid rhythm section of Mark Evans, Malcolm Young and Phil Rudd reinforcing the backbeat, LET THERE BE ROCK represents the ferocious next step in the evolution of hard rock and heavy metal and contains all of the requisite sleaze and debauchery you’d expect from the lads down under.

It's high time you “put on your jorts...grab a banana” and “strap in for the ride” as you prepare to receive numerous “parking lot” employment opportunities and all the “all-you-can-eat crabs” your junk can withstand. Pop the cassette in the tape deck of your “8-dawg”, turn it up to angry, and JOIN US as we reflect on the Aussie angst and blazing riffs that culminated in the miracle of music known throughout the world as LET THERE BE ROCK.
