AC/DC is a great rock and roll band, hard rocking with a great sense of humor.

Even i mean theres nothing to really hate. Even ac/dc admits that all of thier stuff sounds the same. I mean its some solid rock and roll, but I would never tell someone to buy more than one album... and i would never buy any

Yep i can barely tell their songs apart. I just hates band that just finds a winning formula and will never ever try to do something barely new and is just recirculating old riffs. Incredibly boring and as far away as progressive you can get.

Angus Young's guitar playing is totally overrated...but their songs can be cool for the rythmic sessions

Yep i know that but for a person that is used to progressive music it is totally unatractive. I mean britney spears make more original and diffrent songs than ac/dc. ac/dc is as low as it gets. And i dont think they ever know what the word progressive means.

not my favorite band, i only got 2 albums High way to hell and back in black, but as said everything sounds the same, it gets boring for me most of the time, one or two song can be good to lisen to but a whole album is to much for me realy, some variation whuld be nice. But a good hard rock band they where. So i dont think AC/DC suck, if there is one hard rock band i think sucks its Deep Purple, i hate Deep Purple overrated sh*t band they are.

I have that 'If You Want Blood...' live record. Essential party music. Not something to listen to on a sunday afternoon when you're on your own and in the mood to analyse deeper meanings behind the music.

Music doesn't have to be interesting to be likeable...

They ROCK. The phrase "there's always a bigger fish" can be applied to this problem:
"there's always music that is more simple"
So who can define how simple music must be to become uninteresting just because of it's simplicity?

I was once quite into them, but I always did feel that the entire AC/DC catalogue could be summed up quite nicely on two 70 minute CDs ... the first with Bon (including most of Highway To Hell as well as other essentials like Big Balls, Whole Lotta Rosie, She's Got Balls and Ride On) and the second with Brian (including the whole of Back In Black and the few other good songs on the subsequent albums ... I think Thunderstruck is the last AC/DC song I enjoyed) ...
Hell's Bells is my favourite AC/DC song ever ... simple and effective ...

ac/dc is the most braindead band on this very earth. There is no band that is worse in this genre and they have not managed to compile a single good song.

They're the absolute best in their genre, which is "Braindead Hard Rock". Give me an example for a better band IN THEIR GENRE, I'm really curious
