Often hailed as the "connoisseur's AC/DC album," Powerage (1978) is widely regarded by die-hard fans and legendary peers—including Keith Richards, Eddie Van Halen, and Slash—as the band's creative pinnacle. It serves as the bridge between the raw, high-voltage energy of Let There Be Rock and the polished, radio-ready global stardom of Highway to Hell. It is noted for Bon Scott's most "human" and introspective lyrics. Instead of just sex and drinking, Scott explores themes of financial hardship ("Down Payment Blues"), addiction ("Gone Shootin'"), and the gritty reality of the working-class grind. This was the final studio album produced by Harry Vanda and George Young. Critics praise its warm, "live-in-the-studio" feel and the debut of bassist Cliff Williams, who solidified the band's legendary rhythm section.
