Brian Johnson sounds like Donald Duck and he doesn't even sound that good anymore. He lived in my hometown (Sarasota) - I saw him live with some local band, Neurotica, that he had put on his label. The local kid from Neurotica sang AC/DC songs waaaay better then him. Johnson had no voice left after years of abuse. Bon Scott was a far better vocalist IMO.

I agree with Robert Plant - he was one of the best vocalists in the history of rock n' roll - but unfortunately, again, he abused himself and his voice all these years and now sounds more like Bea Arthur. No range, no tonal quality - just typical smoker's voice.
