This question has been on my mind for quite a while.
Do you prefer Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?
Would AC/DC be better with Bon Scott if hadn't he died back then?
As we know Bon Scott heard Brian Jonson singing and he liked it.

Upon a time I asked a similar question about Judas Priest:

Do you prefer Judas Priest with Rob Halford or Ripper Owens?

P.S.
Sorry that this is not a poll.

I'll add to the general consensus. Bon Scott, definitely.

As for me Brian Johnson is the voice of AC/DC, can't imagine it be otherwise; still I have a lot of respect for Bon Scott and his contribution to this great band.

+1 vote for Bon Scott, although not by a landslide. Angus is the main attraction for me... Blazing Marshall JCMs in all their glory. Those guys must be deaf gigging at those stage volumes. From what I understand Angus didn't use dummy cabs, or 1/4 load any of his 4x12s.

I heard Brian Johnson a while ago and I commented on how great it was that they found a singer with a similar voice...
But hey I'm 40 years old!

I grew up with Bon as singer from AC/DC!

I liked Bon a lot...
But Brian is alive I think...

So for the moment; Brian gets my vote.

Bon Scott was a great singer, but with Brian Johnson, AC/DC have produced soem of the world's best rock songs.

I think that as singers they are as good as each other. They created great rock, in their own way.

AC/DC is not a better or a worse band for losing Bon Scott, just slightly different.

The problem with great artists dying is that you have no idea whether they would have continued to be great. What would Hendix be doing if he was still alive??? Would he still be the best and coolest guitarist in the world?
