Both had "classic" periods of about equal duration. 8 years for Metallica from 1983- 91 and 7 for AC DC stretching from 1974 to 1981.

As composers of complex and chinteresting pieces of music, you gotta go with Metallica, but, often tims, in rock, less is mor. AC DC created a one trick pony sound that was so fucking bad ass, that to me they are just more of enjoyable listen than Metallica.

Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I live best!

AC/DC has more bangers, plain and simple.

It should be this close.

Both bands kick serious ass.

Two of my favorites, but I have to go with Metallica. Glad it's not a blowout either way.

Both great, but I've always preferred rock with a solid connection to blues. AC/DC was the quintessential blues rock band over the era you've identified as their classic period, easy choice for me, but I totally get the other side of this. Metallica's contribution to metal is nearly unrivaled.

AC/DC is the greatest rock n roll band ever.

And I love them for it. They make me want to drive 39 in a 30 mph zone.

Gap has widened a little overnight. Need a major Metallica comeback to start soon, or this one is over.

AC/DC's masterpiece album is Highway to Hell, and they've done a few albums since then that are pretty fucking good.

I figured this one would be close. I should have given Swaye a couple blankets before tip off.

Sometimes when I am really loaded I think High Voltage was their best record. Highway to Hell had the Mutt production and what not, but the rawness of their original vision on High Voltage is tuff to beat.

Highway to Hell was the first record I ever bought. It was a good choice. 6 year old Dennis was at the Kent K-Mart with my $10 and I pulled the trigger. Haven’t looked back since.

Cassette tape or vinyl? Do you still own it?

Being a slow strategy guy, I was a little late on AC DC. Probably didn't get Highway to Hell until freshman year at Tower on the Ave. CD, of course, that's all beat to shit now and skips on a few tracks. Got a minty 1st pressing vinyl in the used bins for like $5 back in the early 2000s. Both Highway and B.I.B. sound terrific on vinyl; very well recorded albums that will peal the paint off your walls.
