I dare you to attend a sporting event in the United States and try to avoid hearing an AC/DC song. I’ll save you the time it's impossible. Almost 50 years in and still rocking, AC/DC is one of the most prolific rock bands in the history of the genre (I saved the most prolific for number 1).

From the days of Bon Scott’s Long Way to the Top, Big Balls and Highway to Hell. To the Brian Johnson lead classics of Hells Bells, Thunderstruck and the infectious stripper anthem You Shook Me All Night Long, this hard partying and loud rocking group has sold over 200 million albums without even cracking the top 20 on the Billboard singles charts. Their best effort came with 1991’s Money Talks that couldn’t climb past number 23.
