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

I'll go with Accept as well, even though they really don't sound like AC/DC all that much aside from vocally. "Balls To The Wall" sounds like something from the Bon Scott era though, but heavier. Totally kickass song.

This particular song sounds like it might be somewhere in the same ballpark.

I imagine they've already been mentioned, but Airbourne are fantastic. Energy and sleaze to make Bon Scott jealous. And they even got Lemmy to be on their video. What more could you want? They're even from Australia.

I've always thought The Sensational Alex Harvey Band are kind of like the AC/DC for people who want something a little more diverse than AC/DC.
They come from the same sort of roots as AC/DC, Scottish, working class, pub band R&B influenced but SAHB throw in Glam Rock, Soul, English Music Hall, theatrics, and a whole bunch of other stuff too.
In fact I would say Alex Harvey's singing voice sounds practically identical to Bon Scott but Alex Harvey came first by about a decade.

Airbourne is simply younger ACDC

Upper Crust is as close as you can get to Bon Scott era AC/DC without being AC/DC

There's a South American band called "Naranja Metálica" which I really like. But really I don't think there's such band; no one sounds like the great AC/DC.

I'm pretty partial to that album cover.
