It will always be a mystery how a grown man can spend his life wearing a school tie and short pants and receive adulation from the heavy metal fraternity. HM followers do not tolerate a cissy, yet the hugely talented Angus Young has become something of a hero. His riff-laden fills, combined with the tough vocals of the late Bon Scott, made AC/DC one of the genre's all-time leading lights. Bordering on the lighter side of metal, songs such as 'Love Hungry Man', 'Touch Too Much' and the title track will always delight.

Q (12/94, p.157) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a 41-minute jackhammer groove that, years later, would still be obsessing everyone from Run DMC to Killing Joke. Rick Rubin's Def American label was probably blueprinted the minute he heard 'Girls Got Rhythm'..." Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, p.84) - "...By retaining their simplicity and adding a bit of polish, 'Mutt' Lange produced their first million-seller, its air-punching title track quickly becoming a staple at teenagers' booze-fuelled parties on both sides of the Atlantic..."

AC/DC is generally regarded as a titanic force in the world of heavy rock, occupying a sphere of seminal influence right alongside Kiss. These Australian guitar gods--led by Angus Young, an axe-wielding man-boy in a school uniform--churn out songs laced with sexual double entendre and heavy riffs. Since the mid-1970s, Angus and his brother, Malcolm, have survived a stormy band history, including the death of original singer/wildman Bon Scott, all the while bashing out their simplistic, yet highly addictive, brand of bluesy riff-rock.
