Can't even cut it, Bon Scott. He had the natural squeal of a voice that Brian Johnson tried to copy for the band.

No Contest.

You are right. It's like as if they changed with the decade. You can tell a difference in how they made music after Scott died.

Bon Scott was way better.

As an Australian this is a huge topic, best export we ever had musically :P

Personally I do think Bon Scott has to take it, he was the original and AC/DC would never have happened without him but in saying that I quite like Brian. AC/DC wouldnt have existed or become the phenominon they are today without them

What about Daevid Allen? AC/DC is cool and all, but nowhere near as cool as the mind behind Gong, and started Soft Machine.

Bon Scott just for that whole grunty voice going "Done Dirt Cheap" is one of the most awesome noises ever created with human voice.

That's the whole aspect/riff of the song itself. Phil Rudd on drums and Scott = "Dirty Deed's, And They're Done Dirt Cheap!". :drummer:."Dirty Deeds, And They're Done Dirt Cheap!". :drummer:. :yeah:

For me I just bring up the two albums that I think define both eras.

For Bon: T.N.T.

For BJ: Back in Black.

For me there is no contest. I prefer T.N.T over Back in Black. Also Bon always sounded passionate about what he was doing and could put on a way better show. Bon Scott it is.

"Back in Black" almost sounds like a joke because of the vocals, which are just awful. It's Bon Scott without even the slightest hint of doubt.

This is one of those sucky comparisons because Scott had the better voice but Johnson sang on the better material (imo). I couldn't ever choose.
