I have to agree, Accept is one of the only band that could blatantly rip-off a band like that yet still be pretty badass. I think out of the hand full of bands that directly derived their sound from AC/DC's, Accept is the most noteworthy.

Yep, and they're about 10 million times better than AC/DC too.

Hipper. Trendier. OK. And Lemmy's a kool kat. But AC/DC has those hooks that you can hang your hat on. If Motorhead had 20 more aces of spade then we could seriously compare the two.

Actually I think they both have around the same number of classics. AC/DC is the more instantly accessible band, but they are both around the same quality. And I'm not as tired of Motorhead as I am AC/DC, but it's only a matter of time I fear.

I have no idea who is trendier. I just know there are very few AC/DC songs I like while there are tons of Motorhead songs I like. And "Ace of Spades", though decent, is far from their best.

The one thing AC/DC and Motorhead had in common, no effin ballads. I was never really too crazy about Accept or the Souza era Exodus, because they reminded me too much of the one and only, Bon Scott. When I hear those bands, all I want to do is drop in "Highway to Hell".

Wonderful band. Motorhead with bluesy riffs. Judas Priest after getting quadded.

My favorite album by them is "Filth Hounds of Hades", but "This Means War" is a great album as well. Good soundtrack for creating a hangover.
Tank are awesome but sound nothing like AC/DC and never have. Motorhead definitely but I won't hold that against them.

Saxon? WTF (NOT your post BTW!) not a chance.

If anything they sound like souped up Chuck Berry to me. AC/DC that is.

I don't know. I think Tank really claim the sound they have; sure, it shares a lot with the Motorhead formula, but it's still distinct. Especially on "Filth Hounds of Hades" - that album has a sound that's recognizable.
