As much as I love The Kinks?Krev wrote: Mon Apr 14, 2025 10:26 am How is AC/DC beating The Kinks? Can I buy the A, G and F#/D chords?
I really never bother with AC/DC, but have to give them respect for their relentless devotion to trying to rewrite You Really Got Me their whole career. The Kinks on the other hand evolved into some beautiful chamber pop and a few late era rockers before they slid into many years of miserable music hall rot and pedestrian 80's revivalism.numberthirty wrote: Tue Apr 15, 2025 1:08 amAs much as I love The Kinks?Krev wrote: Mon Apr 14, 2025 10:26 am How is AC/DC beating The Kinks?

This is from the stuff that they said "No, We Can Do Better Than That..." that eventually wound up being Highway To Hell.
That version of "Touch Too Much" might be the best thing that they ever did, and they thought "Nah, We Got That Faded..."
Ain't many bands that can say that.
(Never mind replacing a vocalist, and not losing a step...)
The Brian Johnson era gave us a few gems. I will put Flick of the Switch up there. I consider "You Shook Me" to be seminal to modern pop-country, though. "Shake a Leg," however.numberthirty wrote: Tue Apr 15, 2025 1:08 amAs much as I love The Kinks?Krev wrote: Mon Apr 14, 2025 10:26 am How is AC/DC beating The Kinks?

Yeah, the "AC/DC as a Kinks rip-off" take is really, really off. I hear a lot of Slade with a coating of Savoy Brown on the early stuff.numberthirty wrote: Tue Apr 15, 2025 1:08 amAs much as I love The Kinks?Krev wrote: Mon Apr 14, 2025 10:26 am How is AC/DC beating The Kinks?
