I listen to a myriad of music, but mostly centered on hard rock. I loved the Bon Scott era AC/DC because it was so raw...and simple. I could play almost every song...most were repetitive three chords and it was easy to make it all sound great as a teenage guitar player. Kind of like the Blues, everyone could play the rhythm guitar to it, which meant it was easier to jam with people.
When Johnson came on the scene, it was hard for me to take his voice. He sounds like hes trying to sing while taking a constipated crap! But I got used to it and did enjoy the newer AC/DC, although I am not a fan of "anthem songs" manufactured for the musically incapable to stomp their feet and repetitively sing along with, and a lot of the newer ACDC was like that...thicker and richer track mix and music in general, but overproduced for me. That's why even today, most of the music I carry in my mix is the older albums/songs of bands. Fame and money seem to ruin their raw edge I liked at first.
Fun fact. I listened to a guy bieng interviewed on the radio years ago about his book on the taking of Falluja Iraq during the war. What a picture that guy painted as he read excerpts from the book. The marines amassed on the outskirts in preparation and as they began to enter the city/battle, they had a flatbed truck with huge speakers on it (psy-ops) that blasted Hell's Bells at the enemy in the city. Gives me chills today to think about it. Can you imagine bieng in that city, a Muslim combatant, waiting for the battle and THAT song gets piped in? The Marines had a soundtrack behind them, but couldn't hear much of it because the mortars walked through the city ahead of them softening the ground for the urban combat.
