„Let There Be Rock“ ist das vierte Studioalbum der australischen Hardrock-Band AC/DC, veröffentlicht am 21. März 1977 in Australien und am 25. Juli 1977 international über Atlantic Records, produziert von Harry Vanda und George Young, und gilt heute als eines der wichtigsten und kraftvollsten Alben der frühen Bandgeschichte. Die markante, energiegeladene Produktion stellt die raue, direkte und unpolierte Essenz von AC/DC in den Mittelpunkt, insbesondere in Klassikern wie dem Titeltrack „Let There Be Rock“, „Whole Lotta Rosie“, „Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be“ und „Bad Boy Boogie“, die zu Dauerfavoriten bei Live-Auftritten wurden. Das Album zeigt Angus Youngs furiose Gitarrenarbeit sowie Bon Scotts charismatische und provokante Stimme, die perfekt den rebellischen Geist der Band verkörpert. Kritiker und Fans schätzen das Album bis heute für seine kompromisslose Härte und Authentizität, die die Band endgültig in die oberste Liga des Hardrocks katapultierte. „Let There Be Rock“ erreichte in Australien Platz 19 der Charts und konnte sich später weltweit etablieren, was es zu einem Meilenstein in der Geschichte des Rock'n'Roll macht und seinen Status als absoluten Klassiker im Repertoire von AC/DC untermauert.

User Album Review
Let There Be Rock, the fourth AC/DC album -- and first to see simultaneous international release -- is as lean and mean as the original lineup ever got. Shaved down to the bone -- there are only eight tracks, giving this a lethal efficiency even with a couple of meandering jams -- this is a high-voltage, brutal record, filled with "Bad Boy Boogie." It has a bit of a bluesier edge than other AC/DC records, but this is truly the sound of the band reaching its peak. There's the near majesty of "Let There Be Rock," there's Bon Scott acknowledging with a wink that "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be," and then there's the monumental "Whole Lotta Rosie." Which gets down to a key thing about AC/DC. If Led Zeppelin were celebrating a "Whole Lotta Love," AC/DC got down to the grimy details in their leering tribute to the joys of sex with a plus-sized woman. And that's AC/DC's allure in a nutshell -- it's sweaty, dirty, nasty rock, music that is played to the last call and beyond, and they've rarely done that kind of rock better than they did here.
