5.0 out of 5 stars AC/DC at their best - a must for Metal lovers!!!, September 15, 1998

Released in Australia in 1977, this is for sure the best album the guys from downunder ever did! From Rhythm'n Blues ballads (Crabsody in blue - my alltime favourite song, why was it actually left out on the international release????) to good 'ole Rock'n'Roll classics (Whole lotta Rosie) - what a mix. And "Hell ain't a bad place to be" ... Bon, we miss you buddy!

The titles: *** Go down * Dog eat dog * Let there be Rock * Bad boy Boogie * Overdose * Crabsody in blue * Hell ain't a bad place to be * Whole lotta Rosie ***

5.0 out of 5 stars You could say she's got it all...., November 22, 2006

In 1977, AC/DC cranked it up to eleven and released their 4th album (in Australia), 'Let There Be Rock'. Very few hard rock albums before the late seventies had such a loud, raspy and metallic sound. The Young brothers created arguably their most amazing guitar reoord and it is still my favorite AC/DC disc and one of my alltime favorites period. Their earlier albums only hinted at the titanic volume and distortion of 'LTBR' and Angus played his most inspired and energetic leads. Every song is noteworthy and like 'TNT' many are not only AC/DC but also heavy metal classics. The title track is an amazing homage to the origins of rock and a tribute to men like Chuck Berry. The song simply oozes myth and riffology. "Whole Lotta Rosie" is in my opinion their greatest song (tied with "Highway to Hell") and as Bon says....she's got it all! Amazing rhythm section, fun, outrageous lyrics (about a real Tasmanian devil er...groupie supposedly!) and the most amazing lead guitar by Angus of course who rips off not one but two incredible lead breaks, including the one that closes the song in a maelstrom of metal anarchy! "Go Down" is an amazingly heavy blues that is aside from the volume and distortion a very pure blues, much better than "Ride On". Sex seethes through this record as Bon belts out his claims to sexual prowess ("Bad Boy Boogie", the original "moon" song), dealing with an S&M relationship ("Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"), VD again ("Crabsody in Blue", let off the world wide release for "Problem Child", again a repeat!) and the pains of unrequited love ("Overdose", again with Angus on a roll come solo time!!!!). "Dog Eat Dog" champions the common man and the frustrated rocker. Every cut is a slegdehammer to the head and has an insane groove! I can not say enough about an album I have loved since the needle hit the groove many years ago. 'Highway to Hell' put them in the big leagues, 'Back in Black' made them superstars, but 'Let There Be Rock' created a legend in a raspy iconoclast frontman and a diminutive master of rock guitar. Long live Bon Scott and he and his band's greatest triumph. Again get the Aussie version for "Crabsody" but anyway, how or where, just get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars AC/DC at their bluesy-rock best, May 28, 2000

If you are an AC/DC/Bon Scott fan you MUST own this album. All the essential elements are here: Bon Scott's screechy, bluesy howl and Angus Young's screaming Gibson. Backed by a tight rhythm section including Angus' brother and partner in crime Malcom, the band is at it's best on classics like "Whole Lotta Rosie", and the title track. No slight on Brian Johnson, but this is AC/DC at it's best! With Johnson, AC/DC have created some great music, but you can't replace a legend.
