The Young brothers, Angus and Malcolm, decided that rock'n'roll could as well keep its basic structures with a usual rhythm, but at the same time become something more creative and daring. So, the legendary "Let there be rock" is the perfect application of this new state of mind, making of this track the greatest success of rock'n' roll. This song gives the lion's share to the natural feeling of Angus, whose guitar never stops telling us the most beautiful story of all time, the rock'n'roll. The love of this music should flash back on the listener: every note, every solo is an ode, an invocation, a declaration. And our favourite schoolboy enjoys his music on every track, he shows his soul of virtuoso.
The powerful "Whole lotta Rosie" also belongs to the Hall Of Fame of the legendary tracks, as it creates such a perfect osmosis between guitarist Angus Young and singer Bon Scott that it succeeds in making the roughest and the most tattoed of us cry. Bon Scott also changes some tracks like "Hell ain't a bad place to be" and "Dog eat dog" into masterpieces of bad spirit, and also shows all his ability. The musicians obviously have fun, and everything seems easy, because they master their instruments so well. The wonderful "Bad boy boogie" brings emotion and is eager to bring us to this hell that they have promised for so long. Then comes a devilish track with a strong rhythm: "Problem child" and its corrosive riff tells that hell is just a place where the bad boys gather to play rock'n'roll. Then, add "Go down", the first track of the album, and it's over.
After that, AC DC never never made a step out of this way, and has still stuck to this image that, contrary to what fools and jealous people say, has never been commercial or conventional. Finally, we still don't know if everybody else is wrong (not sure), but AC DC was sure right...

Everything from "High Voltage" to "Highway to Hell" are classics to me. There is not a song on here that I don't like. The Bon Scott era of AC/DC was so much better than the Brian Johnson reign. You can feel the emotion in each song. AC/DC may not be the most technical band but their style of Rock n Roll is timeless. This record ranks #3 on my all time favorite AC/DC records.

"Let there be rock" and "Highway to hell" are my favorite AC/DC albums. Both of them represent other sound of AC/DC: "Highway to hell" is more commercial, but still perfect "Let there be rock" is more raw, the guitar sound kills, for me it is probably the best guitar sound ever. "Whole lotta Rosie" and "Let there be rock" are for me really rock anthems. Album "Let there be rock" is for me absolut rock classic! I love this album!!
