O.K... So everyone knows that AC/DC were the best rock band of of time.
But who was your favourite lead singer??? Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?
My personal favourite is Brian Johnson (for those of you who haven't a clue what i'm on about, he's the second one. i.e the one that came in after Bon Scott died). I'd like to hear the views of some true rock fans on the subject.
Not just you wuss rockers who like the BEETLES and other such wuss bands.

Oh yeah, I hate the Beatles. They were such overachievers.
Decent band, though I can only listen to them in small doses. You might be interested to know, Foul, that it was formed by ex Velvet Underground guitarist Malcolm Young, and Bonn Scott used to be in the Australian prog scene.
Anyway, gotta go with Scott. Back in Black was their last good album, imo. And even though it's probably my favorite album, the bulk of the Johnson material pales next to the bulk of the Scott material. That might not even have much to do with Johnson, but... Besides, Scott's voice was just more sinister.

Hey, I've got no problem with AC/DC. Used to have their Back in Black album. Just not my thing anymore (neither is the Velvet Underground, except for Lou Reed and John Cale).
I'm not saying I hate The Beatles (I've said it before; I'm an Elvis man), but I definately prefer AC/DC.
