They were so much deeper into blues playing. In fact, I have never really thought of AC/DC as blues.
In the 70's a band like The Raspberries, were considered Power Pop, I would never consider Agnus Young to be Power Pop, the thought never crossed my mind. I never said AC/DC were strictly a "Blues" band, I consider AC/DC Hard Rock but during the 70's Hard Rock borrowed heavily from the Blues genre. The reason I brought up Agnus Young was because he used I IV V chord progressions and the pentatonic blues scale, but Agnus never paid homage to Blues (not like Winter & Vaughn), so imo Agnus Young was a generic Blues-Rock guitarist, not SRV. My perspective comes from playing the guitar, I guess those who don't would see things differently.

I was trying to explain imo that Stevie Ray Vaughn is more then just a generic blues rocker.
