What is the name of the last AC/DC album recorded with Bon Scott on vocals?
Answer
Highway to Hell
Answer
Highway to Hell
Highway to Hell was the last AC/DC album recorded with Bon Scott on vocals. Released on July 27, 1979, it was the sixth studio album by the Australian rock band and Scott’s final completed studio album.
The record was produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange and became a major breakthrough for AC/DC, helping establish the group internationally. Its title track became one of the band’s signature songs, while the album reached No. 17 on the United States Billboard 200—AC/DC’s first album to break into that chart’s top 20.
Scott died on February 19, 1980, about seven months after Highway to Hell was released. The band then recruited Brian Johnson, whose first AC/DC album was Back in Black. That album followed Highway to Hell chronologically and was dedicated in part to Scott’s memory.
The common confusion is between “last recorded with Bon Scott” and “first released after his death.” Highway to Hell answers the first question; Back in Black answers the second. Earlier choices such as Powerage and Let There Be Rock were released before Scott’s final album.
