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.

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 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 ... ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

A norwegian band called turbonegro is better but infact i would rather listen to a madonna song before i ever listened to a ac/dc album ever again. Anyways it is hard to compare these bands because they all sound the same like forexample saxon and accept and thin lizzy they sound exxactly the same and i cant stand any one them. But anyways why are the ac/dc fans posting here |

Well i got one saxon cd and one accept cd and i think they sound quite the same its all about cool riff rock and roll wich is a genre i despise. But anyway if you like that kind of genre i will perhaps advice ac/dc as they are the best blues based hard rock band on earth.( Hate to admit that) Got three albums back in black, highway to hell and razors edge + a dvd called live at donigton 91 wich is IMO the best ac/dc collection. Anyways when i say i hate a band i always get people that like it in my thread and when i say i like a band i always get people that hate it to answer

That's the idea of such threads or forums in general, isn't it? Your collection is nice, but you might want to give Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or High Voltage a spin (or If You Want Blood ... it sums up the early songs & vibe quite nicely). They're quite different from their later albums. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Yep defintly the bon scott era is better than the brian johnson era but anyays as said before i dont particulary like ac/dc and i just got so many other cds to buy but yeah i have hard dirty deeds and its fairly decent and even more bluesy that the other albums. Like "the jack" But anyways i prefer pure blues music instead of blues hard rock stuff. In that case stevie ray vaughan is exxcellent. And by the way have you heard the song called "Love song" by ac/dc never offically released and the only true ballad ac/dc got...fun stuff |

While I agree that most of their stuff sounds the same, they do have a
few songs that stand out as being very different (i.e. Hells Bells,
Thunderstruck, about half of the Highway to Hell album, etc.). I really
like some of their stuff, although there is quite a bit of crap. My
favorite song would have to be "Walk All Over You" from Highway to
Hell, it has some great almost prog-like temo shifts.

In England, it was used in a "Celebrity Wrestling" advert. I never once saw that programme, and luckily it was cancelled after only a few shows. There's some real mailto:cr@p - cr@p on tv. It's annoying the way some adverts use music to plug their wares. Forever after, it conjures that advert. If a person who hasn't heard the song before listens to it, they think "Oh, it's this song!" Is that a good thing? -------------

One cannot live on white bread alone.

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. |
