An article published on Yell! Magazine titled "Why AC/DC Matters-The Greatest Rock Band Ever?"  is based on a book. In the article the author begins by opening his statement and asking questions about this topic of AC/DC, and did they matter? Obviously the author respects and enjoys the music of AC/DC, for he states this in his article. The author makes some quotes that can be found in the book of "Why AC/DC Matters" because they have a powerful effect such as " For the first time in twenty years, a band who had been [mocked] for doing one thing, was championed for just that." It is also mentioned that the author of the book, Anthony Bozza, created several clear points on the bands communication and abilities. In the article, the author ends with a statement where Bozza was saying how he felt "sick" of seeing how AC/DC was envied for their achievements and that AC/DC was for "tasteless masses."

AC/DC has had several memorable moments, and many were started because of their ability to get on stage and do what they do best, to entertain and play rock. This article gives some background to the band, being that they started in the 80's and they had unique type of music that was much of the same. Although they had been looked down on by others, the held their heads high and eventually people began to see who AC/DC really was. The author has strong wording when it comes to expressing himself towards what Bozza wrote about AC/DC, especially since the author of the article took quotes with such powerful meaning from Bozza's book.

How is it that AC/DC, through using the same unique sounds, expand in their legendary musical career?

  1. I think AC/DC managed to expand their musical career by creating unique songs that were the definition of rock and roll and had "catchy" lyrics and beats that quickly caught on to rock fanatics.
