I can agree that Motorhead is a better band, but I just don't think they sound that much like AC/DC, not enough for this conversation anyway. I just don't see how 2 bands playing rock music in the same era automatically makes them comparable.

Not a big fan of either band but Motorhead offered a lot more than AC/DC ever could.
AC/DC were always a more simplified Led Zeppelin with their basic riffs and in original singer Bon Scott, they had a great vocalist that pulled them through. When Brian Johnson came in, they settled into a boring formula that`s hardly changed in like 30 years!!! |

Don't get me wrong. AC/DC have churned out some absolute crap in their time and I have never been a big Brian Johnson fan but If You Want Blood is still one of the best live rock albums ever and Bon Scott's double entendre humour is classic.

Last great Motorhead release was "Orgasmatron". The few albums that I`ve heard of since then, seemed to be seriously treading water and instantly forgettable, but still slightly more interesting than AC/DC. Its just a case that old boys such as Motorhead, AC/DC and Black Sabbath etc just don`t know when to finally hang up their guitars and call it a day |

I love to pick and choose Ramones songs to listen to. But listening to an entire Ramones album just gets boring half way through.
