This is almost cruel, Sharon.

AC/DC have been solid for over 30 years now, doing their goof-rock schtick (which I can't take all seriously and I believe it isn't meant to be taken seriously anyway) to near-perfection. So they're my choice.

But I think I have to agree with Gaius here, almost word-for-word. I think Van Halen with DLR were better than AC(lightning bolt)DC with either of their lead singers, but they just released too much horrible, self-serious crap with Hagar, who has the distinction of penning one of the worst and stupidest rock lyrics of all time: "Only time will tell if we can stand the test of time." Gee, you think so?
AC(lightning bolt)DC have just been an incredibly solid band for years, and the only thing about themselves that they take seriously is their commitment to rock the f*** out. Also, two thumbs up for their cameo at the end of
Private Parts.
