AC/DC, for the simple reason that I cannot stand about 98.99% of 80's hair pop metal bands.

And I can't stand 98.99% of the people who can't stand 98.99% of "80s hair pop metal bands"

Anyway, it just hit me: a better poll would've been Van Halen vs. Beastie Boys

I'll say Van Halen, I know more of their songs. A lot of AC/DC's stuff tends to sounds overly similar after a while. At least with VH I can switch to Van Hagar if I get sick of David Lee Roth and his assless spandex pants. Plus, Eddie Van Halen is a certified guitar GOD and I'll have anyone who argues run through with a rusty saber.

EDIT: Can't hate on either band, though.

Eddie's got talent *nod*. I just don't care for the style. Plus I can't play his songs .

He's not my favorite ever, but it's hard to argue with a guy that was so good and unique that he used to play with his back to the audience just so nobody could figure out what he was doing or how he was doing it.

I hate Van Halen because of David Lee Roth. Seriously, the man looks like he drank from the false grail.

I'm a huge Van Halen fan, and I don't care who the singer is.
(Roth, Hagar, Cherone it don't matter)

AC/DC, because they don't suck.

Yeah, Van Halen may be made up of good musicians, as far as actual playing talent goes. But their style of music is simply gawd-awful, and their lyrics are utterly insipid trash. At least for the most part. (and entirely in my opinion only)

"Hot For Teacher"? Like poison, it tastes!

Eh... Saying AC/DC has better lyrics than anyone is a stretch.

Heh. Valid.

I'm not saying that I'm a huge AC/DC fan by any means. Out of the two, though, I vastly prefer AC/DC.
