1. There isn't an easier question known to mankind!

Bon is 'rock-n-roll'! Brian is 'rock'.

2. Dave Evans

5. I've got an old boot of Dave Evans era AC DC.

What a rollicking bar band they were then! I like how they covered Chuck Berry etc. Some of the songs from that era stayed with AC DC in vastly different forms. Still think Bon was better tho!

6. I play Dave's new stuff on the station

He doesn't have the pipes he once did but he can still belt 'em; nice guy, too..

7. Bon was definitely better than Evans or Johnson

But here's some old school Ac/Dc anyway...... about early 1974

8. Cool thanks man.

Bon Scott was such a fucking 100% rocknroller! 'Slicked back hair.... blue suede shoes.... V8 car..... and tatoos!'

10. I love 'em both!

But I must admit that I didn't get turned on to AC/DC until the "Back in Black" album.

23. I love them both too

But I gotta give Brian some love since he's so far behind. Both are great.

11. Bon had such a high sleaze factor he clearly was the best.

Bon was just SO creepy to parents that he clearly was the one. Come on--the tats, the tight pants and the lack of shirts were all perfectly calculated to make Moms and Dads worry about that the kids were listening to. The borderline sexual lyrics were an added bonus.

Big Balls was on the oldies station on the radio a while back, and my ten year old thought it was really funny. I'm worried now, because what will SHE listen to to rebel if Mom and Dad are ok with ACDC? I'm hoping it isn't Brittany...

17. Absolutely, Bon came across like the cool but really creepy uncle

12. Dead even, but for different reasons.

14. I won't diss anyone for preferring the raw, dirty Bon Scott...

...but Brian Johnson gets the edge, if only for the magnificent Back In Black.

But it's close.

[montanto]

15. Bon Scott all the way!!

[flying rabbit]

18. Bon

but "Back in Black" was their best album.

19. The youtube of Bon in a dress and wig doing 'Baby Please

Don't Go'is priceless!

20. Definitely Bon. Brian was awesome for the first few years, but his voice

went to complete shit pretty quickly. If you listen to any '85-'95 era AC/DC, the vocals are just painful.

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. I voted for Bon Scott but I like them both...

Bon had that lowdown gutteral growl going, which could be heard in songs like "Night Prowler", "Sin City", "Highway to Hell", "Problem Child" and "Let There Be Rock". I have videos from the early to mid 70's burned to disc that I watch pretty regularly. I love them! Bon died on my 17th birthday...

Brian Johnson has his own unique sound, which works well on the songs they've made since Bon died like "For Those About To Rock", "Thunderstruck", "Who made Who", "Back in Black", "Hells Bells", "Have A Drink On Me", etc..., but it just grates me to hear him singing the old songs that Bon did. It just doesn't sound right. It's like hearing a local bar band doing cover songs. I can't explain it.. maybe it's just me...

22. I'll kick your thread.... since I apparently killed it...

the #1 thread killah strikes again!

24. The reincarnation of Bon Scott

Spike O'Neill from the Bob Rivers show (heard 6-10 AM on KZOK in Seattle)

Never mind the cheesy video, just listen to the vocals....
