Jaimoe Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 AC/DC all the way. They were more important in the 70's, better that the Toxic Twins in the 80's and can can out-rock them now.Even in the early 80's, AC/DC never lost their way, even with a new lead singer. And AC/DC didn't need to collaborate with a rap band to resurrect their career either. They never brought in cheeseball songwriter and producer Desmond Child to polish their songs into sure-fire radio-friendly fodder either.And AC/DC doesn't have albums as bad as Night in the Ruts, Rock in a Hard Place and everything after Pump. And AC/DC is AC/DC, even if it's new. There are clearly two Aerosmiths: "old Aerosmith" (anything before Permanent Vacation, but specifically anything before the band started to splinter, around the time of Live Bootleg from 1978) and "new Aerosmith", (Permanent Vacation and on). And, AC/DC hasn't tried to get a hit by re-writing the same ballad (at least) four times: "Angel" begat "What it Takes", "Cryin'", "Crazy" and "Amazing".And Angus and Malcom Young are a more explosive guitar combo than Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. And Bon Scott could drink the Twins under the table and still manage to do a better cover of "Baby Please Don't Go" while vomitting blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 However, Steven Tyler begat Liv Tyler, so that might give Aerosmith the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Back in Black is one of the greatest songs ever and I like the AC/DC guy's hat.AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 AC/DC without question. I'll tell ya though, Aerosmith made some really fucking cool music in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Aerosmith, Get Your Wings, Rocks, Toys in the Attic and even parts of Draw the Line are all generally excellent, but Rocks and Toys are their career high-points. I don't like any "new Aerosmith". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balogna pogna Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 AC/DC sounds the same on every track on every album. Aerosmith sucks huge but has a variety of different sounding material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 AC/DC because they look less like old women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest Fan Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Its almost ironic that the thread was started by fluffhead... Aerosmith the kings or in my biased opinion the queens of pop rock of the 80's. I will give them credit they were the best of the hair bands.

Freak By Night Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've said it before and I'll say it again - Aerosmith wrote much better songs when they were doing drugs.AC/DC win this contest hands down. One of the only heavy bands to never write a ballad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 no contest, ACDC all the way. ACDC would win against a bear AND a gorilla, before you ask that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Id go see BC/DC before any of these bands any day. For what its worth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 If I was putting on some music for a joke or a good laugh, I'd have to go with AC/DC. Aerosmith just annoys me. Even if I put Aerosmith on for some chuckles I'd still want to rip all my leg hair off or at least leave the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think an appropriate question for this thread would be: "What song makes you want to stick forks in your ears more - Shook Me All Night Long, or Dude looks like a lady"?

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Aerosmith. The Toxic Twins were/are the U.S. version of Jagger/Richards. they were/are defintely not a hair band fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I immediately scrolled to the bottom because I don't think I could bear to find that there might be people that answered Aerosmith to the question.Certainly based on live experiences there is absolutely no contest here - AC/DC wins hands down.C'mon now.

MarcO Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I haven't read this yet but clearly the answer is AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
