AC/DC is straight forward, punch you in the mouth Rock and Roll. We need more of it not less.

While I'm a fan of both AC/DC and Kiss, AC/DC has a ton of groove in their songs, provided you ("you" in general, not you specifically) bother long enough to check. There's a reason why, as simple as their songs are on the surface, few if any bands can successfully pull off playing an AC/DC cover song without it sounding stiff & lifeless.

Edit: I'm talking specifically about AC/DC songs with Rudd drumming.

Their sound is unique. They may sound like simple power chords, but that's the beauty of it. they make it sound simple, but there is nothing simple about it.

You seem to be taking them more seriously than they take themselves.

I was in 4th grade when I first heard this song: Big Balls. I thought it was hilarious then, and I still smile hearing it now.

Plus, Malcolm and Angus Young are an incredible rhythm and lead guitar combination.

Good to see this week's "Why I think (fill in blank of any of the greatest classic rock artists of all-time) is the most overrated band of all time".

That being said, there's nothing like putting the top down on a great spring day and blasting "You Shook Me All Night Along".

They were about simple, very raw, but fun rock n roll. Nothing more.
They did that very well.

Example: "I'm dynamite / I'll put up a fight / I'm a load / Watch me explode" seriously sounds like they found some kid learning basic vocabulary in a 1st grade Australian School to write that.




AC/DC is what it is. The Beatles are the most overrated band ever, and it's not even close.

She Loves You
The Beatles
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
You think you've lost your love

Well, I saw her yesterday-yi-yay
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say-yi-yay
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind
And now she says she knows
You're not the hurting kind
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
Oo, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
You know it's up to you
I think it's only fair
Pride can hurt you too
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you…

You're really going to attempt the tired, worn out She Loves You Gambit, attacking one of the greatest rock and roll records ever made, in a thread devoted to defending "a high energy band that wrote simple fun songs"?

If you don't like it, it's probably not for you

Yeah, I don't listen to AC/DC much anymore. I did prefer the Bon Scott years way back, but I can think of many more overrated bands. Then you have bands that have had multiple lead vocalists, etc. AC/DC definitely has some sophmoric lyrics, that is true, but the band had the sound to match.

Who's the most overrated southern rock band?
