Who's your favorite non-AC/DC band that sounds like AC/DC?

(Aside from Buckcherry's frontman Josh Todd's voice sounding similar to Bon's) They sound dirty, mean, and musically very similar to AC/DC.

Josh Todd has certainly got that Bon Scott sound. Buckcherry were a kind of a mixture of AC/DC and Aerosmith style hard rock anyway.

I saw Buck Cherry open for Kiss and they sucked.

New member here..I'm sorry if i am resurrecting an old thread,and as a first post at that,but i was browsing the forums,saw this and just had to reply to it.

A few bands not mentioned that sound like AC/DC..

Rhino Bucket
Kix
Heaven (The singer had a very Bon Scott like voice)
Jackyl
The Four Horsemen

Wanted to say Britney Fox and Cinderella,but i think they sound more like each other than AC/DC.

I think Cinderella is a good choice. Ratt and Krokus are two from the same era and genre.

Mark Tornillo now from Accept would have to be a close sounding voice to Brian Johnson, more so in the song Teutonic Terror than others. As for a full band sounding like AC/DC i'm not touching that or someone that sounds like Bon Scott simply because i don't have a favourite, that said even Mark Tornillo isn't a fav just someone i heard that's close. For me no one can come close to really impressing me other than the real deals.

If you are on about the early stuff with Bon Scott and the first couple of albums with Brian Johnson I would recommend the Krokus album Rock the Block, anything by Rhino Bucket and even ABCD (great piss take band from eastern europe with tracks like "attack of the perfumed turd"). Personally I don't care too much for Airbourne and as for Accept - I've just listened to a few tracks - the guitars etc may be remotely similar but the vocalist isn't in the same league (let alone division) and completely ruins it for me. These are just my opinions so many of you will disagree, but I am sure there are a few of us old rockers who feel the same.

I like AC/DC, it's all harmless fun, even if it is repetitive. The best thing for me is listening to Angus play, such a glorious sound.

I was going to say that the only band that I've heard where there's a kind of passing resemblance is The Answer, but on second thoughts they're more like a Zeppelin kind of band.

The lead singer's got the whole Robert Plant's estranged child look going on too..
