4 | ''Highway to Hell'' is the sixth studio album by Music/{{ACDC}}, released on July 27, 1979. It was their final album with Bon Scott, who died on tour before their next album ''Music/BackInBlack'' was released. The album was supported by the TitleTrack, "Girls Got Rhythm", and "Touch Too Much" as singles--the title of the album and the song actually caused a lot of controversy, which may have helped its sales, being their BreakthroughHit in the States, peaking at #17 on the billboard charts. |

36 | * BloodLust: "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" and "Night Prowler". |
37 | * DoubleEntendre: This line from "Beating Around the Bush" is an honourable mention, and so is the song's title itself: |

41 | * LongestSongGoesLast: The album ends with "Night Prowler" (6:18). |
42 | * RockstarSong: "Highway to Hell", named as such because [[WordOfGod Angus Young]][[invoked]] said it was what being on tour was like. See the caption above. |
43 | * VillainSong: "Night Prowler," which [[HarsherInHindsight got even worse]][[invoked]] after serial killer Richard Ramírez took the song as inspiration and left AC/DC memorabilia at crime scenes. |
