On this day 40 years ago — June 28, 1985 — rock legends AC/DC dropped their tenth studio album, Fly on the Wall. While the mid-'80s music scene was shifting toward polished pop and synth-heavy hits, AC/DC stuck to their guns — gritty guitars, thunderous drums, and that unmistakable raspy roar from Brian Johnson.
Fly on the Wall may not have topped the charts like Back in Black, but it carved out a space of its own in AC/DC’s powerhouse legacy. The album delivered stripped-down, no-nonsense rock tracks like:
🔥 "Shake Your Foundations"
🔥 "Sink the Pink"
🔥 "Fly on the Wall"
This album marked a return to the raw, DIY energy that first made fans fall in love with the band. It was also the first AC/DC album produced solely by Angus and Malcolm Young, giving it that unmistakable “brothers in charge” edge.
While critics were divided at the time, Fly on the Wall has grown into a cult favorite — a loud, gritty reminder that AC/DC never bowed to trends.
