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."

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.
― Grimes, Shoots & Leaves (Mr Andy M), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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

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

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.
