#1 AC DC
Valid poont. I don't know that Van Halen's music holds up as well with today's youth as AC DCs. Mrs Snow a millennial (I'm not) will rock out to some AC DC and especially Queen, but is meh on Van Halen. None of this changes Eddie's influence on playing of the electric guitar. In other words, if Hendrix is God, then so is Eddie.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Outside of the age demographic of this bored(and only a subset at that bc dorm geeks) Van Halen is not very remembered or relevant to today's youth.YellowSnow said:
They've gotta go through Van Halen first. I mean how the fuck do you top Van Halen I. I mean Highway and Back in Black are flawless but Van Halen I was revolutionary and perhaps the best debut album by any band ever.

No illegal drugs, just some margs with premium orange liquor and Van Halen records spinning on the turn table.Swaye said:

People are forgetting that Van Halen had a 2nd half with Sammy Hagar.

As did AC DC with Brian. Van Hagar sucked. Brian Johnson still have Back in Black and For Those About to Rock.salemcoog said:People are forgetting that Van Halen had a 2nd half with Sammy Hagar.

Noone said that AC DC was better than Van Halen.
But if you are saying that Brian Johnson is a better vocalist than Sammy Hagar, I'll gladly mapquest the local 7-11 for you when you come visit the in laws next. -

I need one on the west side of the river. I'm lazy and don't want to drive too far.salemcoog said:Noone said that AC DC was better than Van Halen.

#1 AC DCAC/DC is better than Van Halen.
Brian Johnson's era had one decent album and all that. But AC/DC is quintessential. Van Halen is the best house party band ever, easily.
But ultimately, Diamond Dave was a prancing feeg and they are broadway show for hard rock fans.
AC/DC is music that makes you want to take your shirt off and punch someone. Van Halen is fun when you want to feel good or play decent music around chicks. -

Make a list of the top 20 songs from each band.
Once you get to about a dozen songs, you'll be pressing to find another VH song, and wondering how AC/DC could have so many songs that kick ass. -

Fixed. Yes, Bon Scott was way more bad ass than the prancing feeg, Dave.Dennis_DeYoung said:AC/DC is better than Van Halen.
