Is there a better band than AC/DC?

The only other band that I think could get close to AC/DC's stage presence, is this one...

They're not my all time favorite band but objectively speaking, they're definitely as good as any band can be.

Among the best there has ever been live.
I've never seen them live and to this day, it haunts me.


BTW, these are the bands I've seen live:

Deep Purple (once)
Blackmore's Rainbow (twice)
Eagles (once)
Black Sabbath (twice)
Emerson, Lake and Palmer (once)
Yes (twice)
Jethro Tull (four times)'
The Who (five times - once with Keith Moon)
Eric Clapton (six times)
Santana (twice)
Marshall Tucker Band (once)
Charlie Daniel's Band (once)
Allman Brothers (twice)
Jeff Beck (once - best guitarist I ever saw live)
Led Zepellin (twice - loudest band I ever saw)
Chicago (once - with Terry Kath)
Alvin Lee (twice - got busted for coke at the second concert)
Chili Peppers (once - Nirvana was the opening act)
Sheena Easton (once - it was her idea)
Olivia Newton John (once - shut up, I was trying to get laid)
Bob Dylan (once)
Rolling Stones (once)
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker (once - no Eric)
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (five times)​

I had a friend who saw the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl.
I had another friend who was at the Monterey Pop Festival.

But I've never seen AC/DC live (my greatest bummer)

You need to get off your ass and add Rush to this list. Clockwork Angels tour kicks off in about 3 weeks.
 
I turned down every chance I had to see Frank Zappa.

Oh no I don't believe it.

If there's someone you like, go see them!
 
I hope the OP is kidding.
AC/DC was great at the beginning...but then something happened....every album after Highway to Hell sounded like a song from Highway to Hell.
They are a "one-tune" band...everything sounds the same.
 
Just a VERY short list of bands better than AC/DC

Led Zepplin
Aerosmith (pre-80's)
Rolling Stones
Rush
Pink Floyd
Queen
man..on and on and on and on...if I made a personal list of the top 25 bands...I doubt AC/DC would be on that list....maybe in the top 50.
 
If there is, I haven't seen it.

AC/DC is the greatest fuckin' band that ever lived!

If you disagree, then prove it!

AC/DC is one of the all-time greats. There are a few that I would put at the top and not really be able to determine who's better:

(not in any particular order)The Who, AC/DC, Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Green Day.

That said, Shoot to Thrill is the greatest Rock and Roll song ever written or played.

The Beatles??? The Beatles don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same thread as AC/DC.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands. A few that come to mind? The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The Band...

How can it be proven that one believes something?

You obviously were not watching the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when, in less than 1 hour, the entire world had changed.
