10 Greatest Comebacks In Rock History

10. Back in Black - AC/DC

Compared to every other rock band, AC/DC seemed to have the worst luck when it came time to reach the big leagues.

After making one of the greatest rock records of all time with Highway to Hell, the band were taken to the bottom of the barrel after lead singer Bon Scott was found dead of alcohol poisoning, a few months after the album was released. The band could have easily decided to pack it in, but the Young Brothers were not going to go quietly.

Finding an equally proficient singer in Brian Johnson, the band went into the studio again with producer Mutt Lange and crafted Back in Black, which became one of the biggest records in rock history. For as much as this record is a showcase for Johnson's vocals, the songs are also a tribute to the band's fallen frontman, with songs like "Hells Bells" serving as a final farewell.

It may be serious from time to time, but "Shoot to Thrill" and the title track are still some of the most excitable rock records you will ever find on the radio. AC/DC may not have been prepared to have the wind knocked out of them, but after Back in Black made its millions, there was no other band that could touch them.
