"Let There Be Rock" and "If You Want Blood, You've Got It" are both good records. I think the Bon Scott days as I say were the best for them. Johnson was alright, "Highway to Hell" is a classic album, and probably the best of his output. "Powerage" I would not say is really underrated, but maybe slightly less acknowledged compares to some of their stuff.

They had some rather weak albums, like "Fly on the Wall" and "Blow Up Your Video" and "Flick of the Switch" as well though. the Johnson years were wishy washy like that, but the Bon years were consistent.. though they were short lived.

Some may not know (or at least forget) Bon was not the original singer though, that would be Dave Evans:


Not sure if they would of been the band they are now if they carried on in this tradition though.

I am not an AC/DC fanatic, but I am a casual fan.. despite finding them a tad bit on the overrated side.

Oe of the funnest things to come out of their success though is the first Hayseed Dixie album, they are kind of an ocassional listen for a laugh band. Doing AC/DC covers in a bluegrass style. They also do one of KISS covers that was kinda funny.. and have since also done original material as well. But they have some humorous stuff:
