**** that.

Well, better go for the live albums then, they usually contain the best songs. Other than that, Back in Black, High Voltage, Highway to Hell, If you want blood, to name a couple.

Nothing ACDC have done comes close being classified as "must have," all of it sucks and you would much better off spending money on decent music, like Head Control System or dredg. I really don't know why people insist on listening to awful bands with no good qualities when there's so much incredible music out there.

So,you are saying that Ac/dc,a band since 1973, has less quality than Head Control System,a band since 2003?And why you believe this?

Even,the 2 members of Head Control System are younger than the band "AC/DC"...

there's so much incredible music out there

Like what?

Ps.i am just expressing my opinion,no offense

How long a band has been around is irrelevant to their quality. Everything ACDC have put out is repetitive and boring. Head Control System's album is far superior, I don't think they're even in the same league (obviously).

Like these bands off the top of my head: King Crimson, Tool, Joanna Newsom, Isis, Meshuggah, dredg, Thrice, Ulver, Agalloch, The Shins, etc, etc, (mostly) from rock and metal.

AC/DC is a great blues-rock band. I don't know if you listen to much blues, but that's pretty much what blues is - I IV V progressions out the ass. I didn't even like AC/DC growing up, but as I listen to them now, I love their music due to its simplicity and sheer balls. They're a fun band to listen and rock-out too. You're one of those musical snobs! lol Don't worry, I was too not so long ago. I love complex music just as much as I like simpler things.

Not really. I like lots of "simple" music (The Shins, Sixpence, etc). I just thought it'd be a waste of time getting into ACDC when I think they're crap.

Thing is though, it was Snyper asking for recommendations not you. If you had asked for recommendations and someone suggested ACDC then you could spout off all you want. The fact is that Snyper asked specifically for ACDC recommendations and was given them. There was no need for you to chime in with your hating of ACDC.

Just because you think there crap doesn't mean others do. If Snyper want to get into them, let him, its no skin off your nose.

Well,i wasnt thinking like this.I was thinking that they are in the rock scene,since 1973.They have great experience of creating rock music.

They have millions of fans,and thats why they are famous as "The Monsters Of Rock" and thats why they have sold 150 million albums.

Have you ever seen what happens to lives?The whole crowd is singing

Do you think that the fans of Ac/Dc and the fans of Head Control System are the same number?I dont think so

How can you say AC/DC are crap? Sorry but true metalhead = AC/DC

+1 (Y)

Ps.i am not trying to change your favourite band.Just,i cant hear "Ac/Dc suck"

I thought snyper's "quest" was open to consideration. Well I don't think it's a bad thing for him to know of other opinions about a band.

Nonsense!! You remind me of my (very annoying) friend.

Of course not, but come on, Britney Spears has more fans than ACDC but that doesn't mean she's any better.

Well you should calm down, it's only my opinion! :p

I don't think so pal and not trying to fight here but AC/DC pretty much owns on albums sold and fans. If you check out the most sold albums ever in music you will see that metal/rock dominates most. Michael Jackson takes the top spot tho :p

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
