   There is not one single history of rock music.
  There are several. There is the history of the hits. Most books on rock music are histories of the hits. The charts decide, i.e. the masses decide.
   Marx would have loved it, except there is a catch: the masses tend to buy what is publicized by the media, which is what corporations pay money to publicize. Marketing decides the charts. Invest a few million dollars on me and even I, regardless of my musical talent, will break into the charts, i.e. will become part of "that" history of rock music. Most books on the subject are, in fact, books about the music industry. Very often, the profile of a musician is simply a list of her/his successes in the Billboard charts ("that album broke into the charts", "that album hit #5", "that album sold one million copies"). In other words, books on rock music tend to treat musicians like corporations or start-ups, judging them by their revenues, profits and marketing strategy.

AC / DC
80s BAND

was formed in Sidney, Australia in 1973. There were two brothers who started the band. They were Angus and Malcolm Young. They were one of the bands who were pioneers of the heavy metal music. Led Zeplin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath were some of the others who played heavy metal music in that same time frame. The music was very hard for some to listen to but others really appreciated it. A lot of parents cringed when their kids began listening to this type of music and it was very hard on the ears when it was turned up loud. AC/DC released their first album, High Voltage, in 1975. Then in 1979 they recorded their very successful album, Highway To Hell.

  The band had a few member change before the release of this album. The bass player Cliff Williams was replaced with Mark Evans in 1977. In 1980 the lead singer and co-songwriter, Bon Scott died and was later replaced with singer Brian Johnson. Later in 1980 their biggest selling album, Back In Black, was released.
