AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, 1975's High Voltage. Membership subsequently stabilised around the Young brothers, singer Bon Scott, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Mark Evans. Evans was fired from the band in 1977 and replaced by Cliff Williams, who has appeared on every AC/DC album since 1978's Powerage. In February 1980, about seven months after the release of their breakthrough album Highway to Hell, Scott died of acute alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking. AC/DC considered disbanding, but at Scott's family's request, the remaining members opted to continue the band, bringing in longtime Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson as Scott's replacement. Later that year, the band released their first album with Johnson, Back in Black, which was dedicated to Scott's memory. The album launched AC/DC to new heights of success and became one of the best selling albums of all time.
The band's eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) (1981), was their first album to reach number one in the United States. Prior to the release of their next album, Flick of the Switch (1983), Rudd left the band and was replaced by Simon Wright, being in turn replaced by Chris Slade in 1989. The band experienced a commercial resurgence in the early nineties with the release of their twelfth studio album The Razors Edge (1990); it was their only album to feature Slade, who was replaced by the returning Rudd in 1994. Rudd has since recorded five more albums with the band, starting with, and including, Ballbreaker (1995). Their fifteenth studio album Black Ice was the second-highest-selling album of 2008, and their biggest chart hit since For Those About to Rock, eventually reaching No.1 worldwide.
The band's line-up remained the same for twenty years, until 2014 with Malcolm Young's retirement due to early-onset dementia (he died in 2017) and Rudd's legal troubles. Malcolm was replaced by his nephew Stevie Young, who debuted on AC/DC's 2014 album Rock or Bust, and on its accompanying tour, previous drummer Chris Slade filled in for Rudd. In 2016, Johnson was advised to stop touring due to worsening hearing loss. Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose stepped in as the band's vocalist for the remainder of that year's dates. Long-term bass player and background vocalist Cliff Williams retired from AC/DC at the end of the Rock or Bust tour in 2016 and the group entered a four-year hiatus. A reunion of the Rock or Bust line-up was announced in September 2020 and the band's seventeenth studio album Power Up was released two months later.
AC/DC have sold more than 200 million records worldwide, including 75 million albums in the United States, making them the ninth-highest-selling artist in the United States and the 16th-best-selling artist worldwide. Back in Black has sold an estimated 50 million units worldwide, making it the second-highest-selling album by any artist, and the highest-selling album by any band. The album has sold 25 million units in the US, where it is the fourth highest-selling album of all time. AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 10 March 2003. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and were named the seventh "Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time" by MTV. In 2004, AC/DC ranked No. 72 on the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Producer Rick Rubin, who wrote an essay on the band for the Rolling Stone list, referred to AC/DC as "the greatest rock and roll band of all time". In 2010, VH1 ranked AC/DC number 23 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".

I see a young girl in the neighborhood
The way she move, I must confess
I like to run my hands up and down her legs
The way she dress, she look so fine

She like it hard, she like it slow [She don't like it slow]

The song "Cover You in Oil" by AC/DC is a classic example of the band’s hard rock and risqué lyrics. The song's lyrics are from the perspective of a man who is entranced by a young girl in his neighborhood whom he wants to cover in oil, an allusion to the sexual act. The song is very explicitly sexual, with references to running hands up and down her legs, the way she dresses, and the desire to make her wet and make her his. The lyrics also suggest that she likes it hard and that he wants to make her satisfied.
Despite the explicit sexual references, the guitar-heavy riff and driving rhythm of the song make it the perfect song for headbanging and rocking out. The lyrical content of the song coupled with its electric instrumentation is emblematic of the legendary rock n' roll group's signature style.
Overall, Cover You in Oil is a classic example of the merging of electrifying music and controversial lyrics that have made AC/DC one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

A matter of opinion, and there certainly plenty of folks in that camp, so I will not debate it.
I just prefer Angus because it fascinates me that all these years he has managed to remain completely sober (he's a teetotaler, I learned of this recently) and he just is such a relaxed, refreshing and positive dude. He is very level-headed and carefree. A difficult thing to achieve while living such a hard-rocking' life.
I don't know, I just prefer Angus. Don't get me wrong, Bon was an incredible presence and arguably the greatest rock singer of all time, but my favourite rock star is Angus Young .
Again, simply a mater of preference and opinion, so I am not here to start any debates.
I respect your opinion, and I love Bon Scott too, my friend.
