(They have a whole channel dedicated to the band for a month. About a month or so ago it was Coldplay (yikes!)). Anyway, I got to thinking: who was the better lead singer? <br /><br /><center>Bon Scott...</center><br /><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gRzM1KnD4FY/SOKypMtudEI/AAAAAAAABWE/mvNTz8GJE_I/s1600-h/bon_scott.jpg'><img src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gRzM1KnD4FY/SOKypMtudEI/AAAAAAAABWE/mvNTz8GJE_I/s160/bon_scott.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a>&nbsp;</div><br /><br /><center>...or Brian Johnson?</center><br /><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gRzM1KnD4FY/SOKypb5pouI/AAAAAAAABWM/2rYRsy8OtL0/s1600-h/brian_johnson.jpg'><img src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gRzM1KnD4FY/SOKypb5pouI/AAAAAAAABWM/2rYRsy8OtL0/s160/brian_johnson.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a>&nbsp;</div><br /><br />Bon made his masterpiece ("Highway To Hell") and literally died. Brian made his masterpiece ("Back In Black") and then creatively died (can anyone name a GREAT AC/DC album after "Back In Black"?).<br /><br />I defy you to weigh in.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8878905978043179775-2520069547729365087?l=virtualcowtipping.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669266482088524126noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878905978043179775.post-21225928309964215192008-09-25T20:42:00.000-07:002008-09-26T10:32:05.479-07:00Probably the greatest perfomance to grace videotape.
