Is “Let There Be Rock” by AC/DC the greatest song ever?
Explosive pile-driving hopped-up boogie-blues riffs charge forward. Massive chords from the loudest, mightiest guitar band in the world. Singer Bon Scott slyly preaches the birth of rock and roll with the wonder of holy testimony. Written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon. Produced by the illustrious Harry Vanda and George Young as the title track for the band’s third album. The entire album was recorded live at Albert Studios in Sydney with minimal tricks and polish over January and February 1977. And released the following month. The guitars are out of tune, whomping all over the place. The playing is primal, brutal. The energy is electric. Shirts off, boys! Let’s fucking rock!! Let there be light, and there was light. Let there be sound, and there was sound. Let there be drums, well there was drums. Let there be guitar, there was guitar. Ahhhh, let there be rock!
