Brian Johnson praised The Easybeats’ 1966 hit ‘Friday on My Mind’, written by AC/DC guitarist Angus Young’s older brother George Young, as one of the greatest songs ever written. The article uses the remark to underline Johnson’s respect for the Young family’s musical legacy and the people who helped shape AC/DC before he joined.

Johnson reportedly felt uncertain during the recording of AC/DC’s 1980 album Back in Black, fearing his vocals might not meet expectations after replacing the late Bon Scott. He later worked closely with producer Mutt Lange, while George Young’s earlier success with The Easybeats provided important experience and guidance to his younger brothers Angus and Malcolm.
