I spent many of my pre-teenage years listening to early AC/DC, but tend to shy away from their later efforts: I believe AC/DC produced a lot of boring, formulaic music after Bon Scott's passing. Originally released in 1977, Let There Be Rock predates the formula. This album features some very well produced recordings of some of AC/DC's best songs. There are songs that aren't so great but in those cases the performances more than make up for the average songwriting.
