What don't you see the difference in, and how much difference does it make?

the difference between the two singers/two eras

and not much difference

Australian as, mate!

(Though all of their members, bar Phil Rudd, were born in Scotland or England.)

AC/DC is great when music from renting a house with your friends and getting like 2 strippers to come over on a saturday night.

This is one of the bands that caused PJ to suck.

Without this band, we wouldn't have Lungs Wasted.

To me, I categorize AC/DC thusly: Back in Black, and everything else.

In the everything else category there's some highlights, some lowlights, a lot of paint by numbers hard rock.

Back in Black, on the other hand, is sustained brilliance, a moment in time that's proven nearly impossible (by anyone in this genre) to duplicate. Angus is perfect on this record.

Wrong thread.

My favorite thing about AC/DC is the guitar tone. Especially Bon Scott-era AC/DC. A lesson in how to sound heavy, without maxing the gain, palm muting, and scooping the mids. The personality of the SG and Angus' hands are out front. A cord, a pick, and an amp. I respect that.

It's also worth mentioning that "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" was not released in America until 1981. It was a huge hit...I imagine lots of folks thought it was the follow-up to "Back In Black". So Bon and Brian were both around for a while, blurring a lot of American's perception of who the lead singer was.

Revisited Highway To Hell; fuck that's a good album.

Really digging this one:

I made a Bon-era mix for the car last week, this one is on there.
