     In the article "Ageless and Defiant, AC/DC Stays on Top Without Going Digital" found in New York Times, AC/DC is said to have much success doing what they have always done. The author quotes, "The band’s music hasn’t matured much either, to the delight of its fans. AC/DC has always delivered an aggressive take on rock’s raw essentials: slicing guitars, driving rhythms and lyrics about sex, drink and rock ’n’ roll." This means that throughout the time that AC/DC has been an influence to rock music all around the world, people still see the genuiness of the style that AC/DC plays. Although the band has gone through some tough times, like the death of the vocalist Bon Scott, they still managed to have huge success and with the album "Back in Black" the sold "22 million copies in the United States, making it the fourth best-selling album in American history." Yet, with all of this, the author still mentions that AC/DC "gets less attention than many bands it outsells," and thus the question: Why is it that if AC/DC has had huge success, it still has less attention in the media then do others?
