Not a real big AC/DC fan myself, but they are undoubtedly one of the best rock bands of all time.
why though. You are just saying that because you feel you have to
Because Bon Scott was a fucking fantastic frontman and Powerage is one of the greatest hard rock records ever (and they never made a bad record with Bon)
Because Angus is a badass guitar player who doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves
Because Malcolm, Phil and Cliff has a swagger and swing that few, if any, rhythm sections in rock history can match
Someone else mentioned that they put out great records until 1981, I'd argue it's through 1983 and then it nosedives, but with a couple of decent albums after that. The problem is that Bon was witty and playful, both in his lyrics and his delivery...Angus and Malcolm were more overtly obvious in their lyrics which dumbed it down to a Beavis and Butthead level. Sometimes the music was good enough to overcome it, but most times it wasn't.
Angus young is considered one of the greats. He gets all the credit

Do you consider him one of the greats?

Some things should maybe be left alone….including folk covering signature Pearl Jam or Bruce Springsteen songs. No worries with this cover as it’s clearly been done to help boost Tom Morello’s latest thing, but unless you reinvent something which improves on the original then you’re on a highway to MoR.

I feel like Angus is praised amongst other guitarists but a lot of music fans/press denigrate him because "it's all the same song"...

Angus has an amazing internal/natural rhythm that many players overlook. I once watched a video on "why so many guitarists cover this song wrong!" and i believe it was highway to hell. It was enlightening.
I dont care to listen to ac/dc but i totally get why angus should be considered one of the greats.

You should be a politician. You have given a great answer without answering my question at all.

But this thread is still kinda sorta about AC/DC.
On a side note, I like to throw them into random 70s and 80s rock playlists just because there’s nothing particularly important about them. Sometimes it’s nice to have good fun without analyzing everything.
