AC/DC.

[roydo]

Biggest selling album by a band. Ever.

Sold more records than The Beatles.

Havnt released a decent album in 30 years.

3rd largest/biggest grossing tour of ALL TIME finished last year.

Out of 15 plus albums, only 2 are (probably) known to the non AC/DC hardcore.

I love em, just cant get why everyone else does! Can 2 albums sustain a 40 year career?

I love them too mate.

I thought everyone did.

 

[bluejock]

Makes me think of bisexuals.

Never really listened to them but the t shirts look quite cool.

 

[Kurt.]

Seen them live over twenty years ago.

 

[JamesN]

They are brilliant. Rock and roll at its finest IMO

Thats the point mate. I loved them as a kid. If you want Blood, High Voltage, Powerage, the lot. But no one else did! Then, 30 years after Back in Black/Highway to Hell, they are mega, without writing a decent tune inbetween!

It already has.

It already has.

True!

I always get them mixed up with Status Quo. Not sure why.

They're not for me, but people love them so they must be doing something right.

 

[Elong]

Let There Be Rock, one of the best rock anthems of all time.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

For me it doesn't matter how many songs they write or if those songs are all complete crap.

Because they also wrote some of the greatest rock songs of all time so yeah, thats enough to keep them going.

*Not saying their less known stuff is crap but it wouldn't matter if it is or not, its the popular stuff which is so good that matters.

Never got the credit he deserved for his lyrics. Still convinced he wrote some of the Back in Black stuff. Too similar to earlier albums, and Brian Johnson hardly pulled any trees up, lyrically that is.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Love them.

And back in the early 80's (in communist Bulgaria as well, music banned and everything) they were big even here.

One of my most favourite bands anyway, amazing live show as well.

And I don't agree that 2 good albums are making them big. If you're looking for amazingly complex riffs and lyrics - they are most definitely not the band to look at. The word is "rock'n'roll", it's what they are. It's not meant to be complex or hard, it's meant to be good for you and listened loud and with friends. While drinking, obviously.

They are big because they are big. Yes, somewhat repetitive, but you can only go so far in that genre. Every album has a few gems though, even Blow up your Video, which is definitely one of my least favourite albums, if not the least favourite.

And it doesn't really matter if everyone knows every single album, song and lyric by heart. When AC/DC come on, you know it's AC/DC, right?

Anyhow, I'm a lot biased on the subject, really.
