yeah true should have put grand funk, and deep purple and a few others in there instead of aerosmith lol...


got a good point though, ac\dc was a band by themselves for there unique lyrics and rythem, so forth...

HELL YEAH Breeze. I love the early years with Bon Scott too, but i must say i also love Brian Johnson just as much. He really turned out to be a perfect replacement, though sad that it had to be that way.

I agree, AC/DC is in a league of there own. Not taking anything away from those bands mentioned though, they're all great in my book.

If you are a fan, you Have to get this set, along with the 2 disc dvd set called Family Jewels. I just got done watching an interview with Bon Scott from 1978 right before that started a 12week american tour with KISS. Fuggin awesome!

Aerosmith rocks too. Go listen to Toys in the Attic & Rocks. Then get back to me.

See above. And no I'm not takin away from Deep Purple, etc. since I grew up listening to them.
You guys are showin your age. Esp. Bill. Old fart.

I suppose music is just like an exhaust - sound is subjective to what one likes.
To reply to Holty's orig. post, ya AC/DC rocks!!! Many good songs, some of my favs...Those About to Rock we salute you, Whole Lotta Rosie, The Jack, Who made Who( I can never turn it up too loud on this one) & others.

While they (Aerosmith) were a local band they rocked but after making it big (Toys) they sold out. S.T. makes me want to puke....but I've never been a top-40 fan.

Age? No, I listen to music, not garbage. Sure my opinion may differ from yours but Music is Music and crap is crap...lol.

Sorry to take it off track Holty!

I caught an AC/DC show at the Wheeling, WVa Civic Center in the late 70's that was AWSOME!!!! It's amazing how some of these bands have been around forever, thru re-habs, traffic accidents, Kids, grandkids, and can STILL rock! I'm also a big John Mayall fan, and he's over 70! (John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers) I know, I'm dating myself again!
