    that's a hard one. Aerosmith is much more versatile, but when it comes to straight rocking, ACDC is hands down, one of the best in rock history.

    ACDC is a one trick pony.. but it's one awesome trick.

    It's hard enough to where I'm not going to vote. I don't like competitions when it comes to music..art's so subjective, and both of these bands are honestly deserving of winning.

    I never really got the hype for AC/DC. I do like some of their songs but I guess it's just one of those things where you had to be there. I was just a bit too young.

    If you like one of their songs, you like all their songs. Very little variation in their tunes. in the 70s with Bon Scott, they had some tunes that were bluesy and less upbeat.. but pretty much, if you've heard a few of their tunes, you've heard all of them.

    Aerosmith is much more musically creative, and has more mass appeal. And Steven Tyler is a legendary vocalist, no doubt about it. But I'd probably rather see ACDC live.

    Yeah I was mostly referring to the "hits". I can appreciate that they are catchy tunes but I've never felt compelled to really dig in and explore their catalog.

    I agree minus the part about rather seeing AC/DC live. It's Aerosmith by a mile for me. And I don't even really consider myself a huge Aerosmith fan.

    My attitude toward AC/DC changed drastically when I became the de facto house bassist for an AC/DC tribute concert series. Before I was all like "meh...decent generic rock..."; now I see what a masterful formula it is...and it IS a formula, and one that your average rock musicians cannot fathom how to recreate. I was surprised at how many major fans I was surrounded with who just couldn't grasp the concept, showing up with little Peavey Backstage amps and shoving a Strat through a stupid distortion pedal, playing everything with barre chords...bass players trying to play all the chord changes instead of riding the I note...drummers trying to push Peart into the mix...holy crap. It gave me LOTS of respect for the restraint of Cliff Williams and an understanding of how adding even one extra note can derail the vibe of the song.

    Ugh, possible the two most overrated bands ever.


    I will go with Aerosmith, at least all their songs do not sound too much alike
