I am genuinely surprised at the notion of you liking AC/DC, Monty
I believed you to be a fan of musical diversity and creativity

They're one of the best rock bands of all time.

I'm gonna let you finish, but, but AC/DC are one of the best rock bands of all time!

To my mind
They've written one of the best rock tracks of all time, and replicated it. Endlessly. The only variation I can find is that they seem to have two lyrical themes, "generic rock'n'roll nonsense" (which I have no problem with) and "filth"

That's the essence of rock music, surely?
If I want critical analysis of current affairs I won't go to a fucking musician for it (especially not in the light of System of a Down's Syndrome's little insight quoted elsewhere in this thread).

Angus Young is one of my favourite guitarists ever and I could happily listen to him all day long.


EDIT I have just realised I am actually wearing an AC/DC sweatshirt today. This makes today's rant even more embarrassing.

It's not their lyrical themes I take issue with, just the fact that it seems to represent their only concept of variation
I don't particularly want to listen to a metal band talking about worthy issues. It took me years to stop headbanging long enough to work out what Metallica were on about with Blackened, and even then I didn't really give a shit. My issue with AC/DC is that they only have one (admittedly very good) song. One. Over how many years?

Motorhead are the same (for 35 years now).
So were The Ramones. I love both.

Fair enough
In a bizarre way I'm happier that you're not bothering to argue the "one song" point as many have before you
