Let There Be Rock by AC/DC

Let There Be Rock, AC/DC's fourth album, first came out in Australasia on the Albert Productions label in 1977, with a reworked international edition following on Atlantic later that year. Vanda & Young produced, and the band was the hard-charging crew of singer Bon Scott, brothers Angus and Malcolm Young on lead and rhythm guitar, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Mark Evans, making his last appearance on an AC/DC record.

No frills and no mercy: this is hard rock stripped to the studs and wired straight into the blues, the kind of noise the band itself just calls rock and roll. "Whole Lotta Rosie" is the big, dirty strut that rock radio has held on to ever since. Once it was out, the lineup finally settled, with Cliff Williams taking over on bass.
