That would be the "other" option. If you clicked "other", then what band? And I had to cut the list off at some point.

@Paul- AC/DC is geared towards kids? When I think of crap geared towards kids, I think of stuff like "30 Seconds To Mars". Weezer or Kings Of Leon you could probably put in that category.
Naw, they're just tired and old. I would love AC/DC with Bon Scott still alive. Iron Maiden's still together too.

They play "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" on VH1 Classic all the time. Those guys are old.

AC/DC should call it a day. They were better with Bon Scott. I used to like Maiden. Not so much anymore. Their last album bored the sh1t out of me.

Bon Scott did 2 albums dude. Those had classic jams but it wasnt till Back in Black that they blew up. Very good albums with the new singer who has been with the band since 1980. You are right they should stop making new music.

Bon Scott did more than two albums. I can name 6 off the top of my head. AC/DC would have blown up just as big had Bon lived. they were on the verge of stardom with Highway To Hell. Nothing against Brian Johnson but he was not Bon Scott.
Dirty Deeds
High Voltage
Powerage
T.N.T.
Highway To Hell
Let There Be Rock
If You Want Blood (live album)

Yeah I got the Bonfire box set. Back in Black is a good album, but you can't even compare it to Highway to Hell.

you have to be kidding me. Highway to Hell a better album than Back in Black? no way homes. Even for Those About to Rock is better than Highway to Hell. Name the 6 albums. It was high Voltage then Highway to Hell then Bon Scott was gone. All the others were partial albums like 6 songs with Bon.

Comparing AC/DC to Led Zep is like comparing Red Sox to the Yankees. AC/DC has come out with a decent album since like when? Black Ice sucked and the album before that blew as well. They just keep chugging out the same old crap every two or so years and the masses keep buying it. Angus is a great two chord player but their formula got old for me around Flick of The Switch. Their music now is pretty boring. Zep is timeless. AC/DC should pack I up and call it a day.
