Released in '77, Let There Be Rock is the most powerfull pre-Back In Black AC/DC album, with the ecxeption of Highway To Hell.

The instrumentals in Bad Boy Boogie and Problem Child are typical of AC/DC in their early days, clean, powerfull and straightforward. The legendary guitarist and frontman Angus Young, delivers as expected raw and loud riffs, with pounding and trashy solos perfect in essential. The lyrics are typical as well, mixing bad boy criminality, with a woman loving touch, never overdoing any of it. Now deceased Bon Scott, shows in this album really how influential his binn for future hard rock singers around the world. His voice is as clear as ever, showing strength and affection in every word, proving that he problably has experienced it himself.

An other song that has become popular over time (especially live) is Whole Lotta Rosie.

The song in studio is nothing special. Truthfull and amusing lyrics and good sound. But live, the song has become much more. Loved by critics and fans alike, the audience screams "Angus, Angus!" in the beginning, has made Whole Lotta Rosie has become an much played song on AC/DCs concertes.

But the king of the songs in the album, with the name from the title, is Let There Be Rock.

It starts with a fast riff, getting your heartbeat going. Then it suddenly stops, leaving room for the base, the drums and Bons lyrics, wich begin the profethic like vers, "In the beginning". Bon shouts "Let there be rock!" and the solo begins.

There are are three solos in the song, all amazing and fast, but nothing can compete with the first one. It's speed, strength and "rockiness" is beyond imaginery and leaves you wondering, "Why did it end?".

There are thou some songs on the record wich are dissapointing, like Overdose and Dog Eat Dog, but the great ones are worth the price of the album. Listen closely to Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be, Bad Boy Boogie, Problem Child, Go Down, Whole Lotta Rosie and Let There Be Rock, all of them rock classics worth listening to more then once.

And farewell to one of the greatest voices of rock, Bon Scott, who shall never be forgotten. R.I.P.
