Which era of DC do you prefer. myself is 60-40 to the Bon Scott era. Brians voice can get tiring at times but the music still rocks.

    Probably about the same as you to be honest, I liked Bon Scotts voice so full of character.. although I think Brians voice is good too.... :)

    Bon Scott all the way. He didn't become tired (for obvious reasons) the way Brian has and every album of his has an energy about it. Really Brian's and the band's albums weren't up to much after For Those About To Rock. There's the odd good track here and there but nothing can match the solid gold of Bon era Dirty Deeds, Powerage and Highway To Hell.

    The Razors Edge was a return to form in 1990 but the albums since have been OK though I agree they don't match the earlier albums.

    Bon Scott for me, I've always felt Powerage was their finest album.

    In saying that, though, if they do tour next year, and there is a strong rumour they will, I'll still be there! LOL

    I wasn't really aware of them until the 80s really but can see that Bon will always win these kind of discussions and I suspect Brian would agree.

    They are still one of the best live acts of all time though, although at their age, you would expect Brians' vocals to be on the wane a little!

    Oh this one is very difficult.

    Love Bon for the cheeky sly tracks. Big Balls:D

    Brian has the power voice, Thunder etc. Oh I own a Georgie single, very Slade like it was too.

    Bon!
