Title: Best AC/DC lead singer!
Post by: the Teuton on August 07, 2009, 10:47:28 PM
I am going to post one song that each of the three have sung and one that is considered the best work they've each done at AC/DC.

"TNT"
Dave Evans - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxqOE6wtLoE&feature=related
Bon Scott - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7_OrM9-3R8
Brian Johnson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yex1yyySpyM&feature=related

Dave Evans - "Can I Sit Next to You?" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AgR1_h_ywA
Bon Scott - "Highway to Hell" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_kxi_tUoW4
Brian Johnson - "Thunderstruck" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoeeq-BH4w

Really, listen to everything before you make a decision.  This ought to be fairly tough, I'd imagine.

No one cares that much?

Should I have made a "Which Pop Singer Do You Want to Kill?" thread instead?

Yes, I feel much more strongly about that.

Brian and Bon sound a lot alike and I could never chose between them.

Bon and Brian were both great. Bon started it all and Brian was the perfect man to take over after his death.

Dave Evans doesn't fit AC/DC's style.

I voted Brian and Bon.  As others have said, both were were the right guy at different points in the band's career.

Who's the guy who was on Top Gear? I really don't care, like Raza said it's ACDC so it's kind of like the whole syphilis or gonorrhea thing....

That was Brian.  He's the only one who is both alive and still with the band of the three of them.

I'll take some Zeppelin please.  Far better music, and none of Angus Young's stupid on stage antics.

I don't think they're particularly good, and I've also noticed that many AC/DC fans are douchebags.
