Highway to Hell
Road to perdition
Highway to Hell is a 1979 song by AC/DC that became one of rock music's most recognizable anthems.
The phrase has entered general use to describe any path leading toward disaster, ruin, or moral decline: This job is a highway to hell.
It often appears in discussions contrasting easy, tempting choices with harder, virtuous ones—echoing the religious notion that the road to damnation is broad and well-traveled.
