As a musician for over 25 years, and a music lover for life, I see where you're coming from...but when something works as well as AC/DC has for over 30 years, you can't knock it. I hate f**king Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, the Grateful Dead, Phish, Billy Joel, Dave Matthews, Coldplay, Korn, Linkin Park, and Radiohead, to name just a few - all multi-platinum sellers, and all responsible at one time or another for degrading "rock" music and what it should stand for in my opinion...but I can neither deny their talents, nor can I say that my opinion makes them any less successful or honest in their endeavors.I'm no big AC/DC fan, I won't be attending the concerts unless someone gives me a ticket or a pass, but at least they continue to deliver straight-up ass-kicking Rock and Roll to the masses....there's something to be said for consistency, it's something even the most talented best sellers have a hard time delivering album after album. AC/DC is a band which doesn't compromise it's style in order to appeal to more people - it works for them, and it works for millions of rock fans the world over, for over 30 years...which I guarantee will not be the case for Radiohead, Coldplay, or Linkin Park...and countless other best sellers.

On the contrary, they're completely loaded. No doubt they wouldn't mind more, though.

ac/dc once again redefines the lowest common denominator, and lowers the bar just a tad more.
