Not really into them, but yeah, they sure do rock .
And I would like to see any bashers here try to play AC/DC as tight and with the same 'feel'.

AC/DC are great! Sure we all like to listen to prog, but don't you have days where you just want to listen to something a little more simple and bluesly, that's what bands like AC/DC are for, enjoyment! They don't have depressing lyrics or act boring, they are exciting upbeat and generaly good at the music they play!  It's all a matter of taste!

I really don't like or appreciate them. They seem pretty simple a cheap and nothing about thier music excites me. I'm a big metal fan so I have tons of simple things that I can listen to without being annoyed by the sh*tty vocals.

The vocals in metal are meant to be annoying... and this is coming from a metal fan.
And once again - their music may be simple, but I'd like to see anyone play it the way they do. It's just like the Rolling Stones - Charlie Watts has tricks that are said to be extremely difficult to copy.

I like em! 
They never claimed to deep, progressive, clever or whatever. As Snow Dog rightly says they are just a straight talking hard rock band. They're excellent live; good fun!
'If you want blood..' is one of my favourite hard rock live albums.

I can't stand AC/DC! Well, maybe I could stand them in very small doses, but I would never choose to listen to them.

AC/DC ripped off Free.
every AC/DC song is simply a remixed version of a Free song whether its is "Riding on a pony" or "All Right Now"
Free was the first to do meat-and potatoes rock, not AC/DC
Free. Rodgers, Fraser, Kossof, Kirke
Words are mere paltry in comparison

I can't stand AC/DC they have an irritating repeatative sound. Yeah, they put on a great stage show and everything, but I hate the tone and repeatition in their music.

Would it be fair to say that AC/DC = headbanger?

I often like their hard-rocking sound, but the grating vocals and often rather dumb lyrics always put me off ever buying an album.
I certainly don't "hate" them (or any band -- I reserve that word for much bigger/truly evil things), and there are many artists and genres that I can tolerate a lot less of....

ACDC are great for shaking the rust off! Highway to Hell and Back in Black are two of the best hard rock albums ever. I prefer the Bon Scott era. HtH is the only album to make the transition to my CD collection.
