AC/DC is an Australian rock band established in Sydney in 1973. The group's sound has been classified across hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal genres, though they characterize their work as straightforward rock and roll. Known for their foundational impact on the new wave of British heavy metal, AC/DC achieved significant commercial success, becoming one of the world's best-selling recording artists with over 200 million records sold globally. Their influence on rock music was formally recognized with their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
