Which Is the Better AC/DC Era – Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson?
Which is the better AC/DC era – the legendary band's start with Bon Scott or the latter day recordings with Brian Johnson as the group's vocalist?
AC/DC are the rare band that has found continued success throughout their career while having to undergo as singer change after the death of the group's original vocalist Bon Scott.
The band generated a wealth of muscular rock riffs and gravel-voice gems with Bon Scott leading the group through the '70s. Classic rock radio is filled with staples featuring the "Highway to Hell" singer on vocals. And while the loss of his distinct vocals could've curtailed the band's career, they didn't lose a step with the addition of Brian Johnson.
The group's first album with Brian Johnson is one of the biggest selling albums of all-time in Back in Black, and they've continued to churn out more rock radio hits in the decades to follow.
