Listen to Angus on the Bon albums, compared to the Brian albums - so MUCH MORE ENERGY in the Bon stuff.

:thumbsup: you can prefer Bon without needing to dismiss Brian entirely.

:music: the video game says "play me" :music:

Bon, without a doubt.

I heard somewhere that Back in Black was mostly stuff written before Bon died (thus, would've been a Bon Scott album as well). Is that true?

Brian's best for me would be Thunderstruck. "For Those about to Rock" (the song) is also quite good. I love the intros to both.

I always wondered if there are boots around of Bon singing some of the stuff on Back in Black. Gotta look around the net for it.

According to AC/DC it is partially true. Some of the songs were written before Bon's death, however, only the musical parts were recorded. 2 of those songs are Have A Drink On Me and Let Me put My Love Into You.

The last song recorded by Bon was a version of Ride On with the group Trust. It is considered a Trust song.

Sorry, but you won't hear Bon singing Shook Me All Night Long.

Brian Johnson > Bon Scott

But Bon Scott was good too.

My favorite albums are Back in Black, Razors Edge, Who made Who, and Ball Breaker.

Maybe. Maybe for you, but I think they didn't. I'm currently reelin' and rockin' (not at the moment) to The Live! Collector's Edition 2 CD tour compilation from 1992 or so. But the question's in my head what it meant that Bon died and Brian is doing the singing. Anyway, Angus Young's guitar is pretty shredding and their unique style lives on.

JAAIIIILLLBREAK!!!!
On what album does Bon sing Jailbreak? It's currently my favorite song, but I've been listening to the version sung by Brian on the Live 2 CD collector's set. It's hard to make out Brian's lyrics (it's impossibly, IMO... I downloaded the lyrics) but Angus' licks are devestatingly great. I've listened to this 14 minute plus song literally hundreds of times the last few months.
