203 - AC/DC Walk All Over You 1979

"Highway to Hell" is probably the greatest album in the history of AC/DC. "Highway To Hell" appeared in 1979, at a time when AC/DC (Bon Scott, Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams and the Young brothers) were probably one of the five greatest touring rock outfits. They had finally managed to break through in America, and of course they were more popular than ever in Europe. Singer Bon Scott´s distinctive voice, lead guitarist Angus Young´s instantly recognizable riffs and the rest of the band´s strong backup tracks were a blueprint for rock at the time. "Highway To Hell" was the album that would both increase that fame and end it. The intro riff to "Walk All Over You" is soon joined by some unbelievable drums, before developing into a quite lighter, and also quite faster, riff. The song´s minimalistic riffing structure (Bon often sings a capella) makes it insanely catchy, the chorus is a cathartic experience that words just cannot describe. All in all, this is an unfairly overlooked AC/DC gem.
