Ramones vs. AC/DC

thank AC/DC for the Cult's makeover

AC/DC begat rhino bucket.

And a thousand Aussie bands. Where to start?

Also Krokus, and maybe even Accept, Saxon and Judas Priest, took a few moves from AC/DC in about 1980-82. But yeah, those Aussie bands -The Angels, Rose Tattoo and their ilk, and then, fast forwarding to lamer times, Airb0rne.

Don't forget Krokus!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

this is bullshit.

about right.

A lot of silent Ramones voters seemingly.

This is a crap result.

oh man up

gabba gabba!

Never a doubt.

Today ILM, Tomorrow the World

ac/dc has never got the popular acclaim they deserved then anyway

'70s AC/DC > '70s Ramones > '80s Ramones > '80s AC/DC > stuff they both did later

AC/DC wins.

in this contest, mr eddy is totally 1,000% OTM.

though the contest b/w 70s ac/dc and 70s ramones is REAL close. as dumb and juvenile as it may be, i judge based on the fact that Joey et. al. were incapable of a song like "big balls."

AC/DC!!

ANTI CHRIST DEVIL'S CHILD \m/

ramones because ac/dc were fucking terrible

no way dogg

yeah, no. i like this poll cuz there's no wrong answer.

Ramones without a doubt, although these days I'm content enough to mainly stick to their first few albums rather than wade through their 80s/90s output (which is totally worth doing for anyone that's not done it before though, there's plenty of gems in amongst the more average-y stuff).

None of that is meant to argue against the fact that AD/DC are also pretty great obv.

both these bands are great!

AC/DC by a long shot.

I'm a bit too old for AC/DC to have been a part of my youth, although I like a few songs. Ramones were a huge life-changer.

daft question because these are obviously the only two rock bands worth listening to

maybe thin lizzy too but yeah

fucking hell forgot about sabbath going to bed now night ilx love you xx

um Motörhead too

Thin Lizzy v. CCR would tough.

*be*

both great but CCR's insane short period of genius is one of the great accomplishment of rock n roll

I've tried to get into Motorhead and Thin Lizzy, but so far they haven't really clicked beyond the most obvious songs/albums (same with Deep Purple). Whereas as far as my listening habits go, AC/DC and Ramones remain a satisfyingly monolithic body of work.

CCR rulesl, but they're a different kind of band.

i pull pints in a corporate bar and we have both motorhead and metallica beers on tap. ac/dc would never sell out to craft beer fuckery.

AC/DC's wine range launched in 2011 (and STILL doesn't have a Whole Lotta Rosé)

Their lager came out from Karlsberg in 2015

Still no best-of album though, right?

Not officially, but there is Who Made Who and the Iron Man 2 soundtrack.

well i'll be fucked

add böc to the list of “only rock bands worth listening to” you cowards

If we try hard, we can get the list up to four or five.

BOC is the cutoff. No more rock bands worth listening to.

glad we can find some middle ground on this pressing matter.

BOC def

both great but CCR's insane short period of genius is one of the great accomplishment of rock n roll

I agree, CCR is the <3 and I would vote for them over Thin Lizzy, but there are moments where Phil Lynott’s voice just gets me in a way that Fogerty can’t (and never really tries to).

Those two bands have two of my favorite rhythm sections: so tough, but still lithe.
