Amazon.com essential recording: What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track, and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews
Rock and Roll forever
One of the best rock and roll albums to ever be put out. Bon Scott saved teh best for last, even though he did not know it was his last. Angus young shows his true talent with his raging guitar. There are so many recognizable song on this album that as soon as you hear the start it is easy to know it is AC/DC. I love this album and even if some of the lyrics trail off in directions that most people do not want to hear they stand by themselves as great music.
