you laugh, but its actually unbeleiveable, so much roc is based around power chords, which was all started by acdc. they have no musical tallent, but they defined the major form of rock on the fretboard.

I'm pretty sure Pete Townshend would have something to say about you giving acdc credit for the power chord...

I do laugh, because ACDC didn't invent power chords...

According to Wikipedia, Link Wray first introduced power chords. The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was the first hit with power chords, and apparently Pete Townshend coined the term.

Plus influencing the power chords isn't something I'd be completely proud of, with the way modern music rapes them.

What are you talking about, Townshend was credited with bringing the heavy use of power chords to rock well before acdc even formed.
