It&#8217;s unfortunate that it was also the end of the Bon Scott-era, and Bon Scott the man. But what a way to go out! The album opens with the title track and a classic bare bones Angus Young riff, followed by one of the greatest kick drum sounds ever recorded. &#8220;Highway to Hell&#8221; goes on for two verses with nothing but one guitar, drums and vocals. That simple sound is so rocking though, and what&#8217;s better is that you know they are holding back until the chorus. After that one ends and you&#8217;re looking for your socks they kick into the more frantic &#8220;Girls Got Rhythm.&#8221; There are some other hits and plenty of great songs on the rest of the album. One of my favorites is the side two opener, &#8220;Shot Down in Flames.&#8221; Another great one is &#8220;Touch Too Much.&#8221; It contains these amusing lyrics:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>She had the face of an angel<br \/>\nSmiling with sin<br \/>\nA body of Venus with arms<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Who knows if Bon Scott was trying to be funny with that?
