I would say...Black Sabbath. But they are both alright.

I have more AC/DC compact discs in my collection than Black Sabbath CDs, so AC/DC gets my vote.

AC/DC will still be played 150 years from now because their music is just that amazing. Black Sabbath is great band though.

Really... acdc is played by classical musicians and lends itself to about any genre and instrument. The music is fun and versatile. I'm not saying it will play on the radio (or whatever) but musicians will be playing it. |

Can only compare them from around 1978 when I saw them both. AC/DC were the world's best bar band at the time before they became just another heavy metal outfit and Sabbath were a much more traditional British heavy rock sound.
Sabbath blew me away more but AC/DC were way more fun and less pretentious.
Oddly I saw them both later with AC/DC on the first post Bon "Black In Black" tour which bored me and Sabbath on the "Heaven And Hell" tour with Ronnie Dio which I much preferred to the time before.

I like a few Sabbath songs. Never got into AC/DC.

I prefer AC/DC, but Sabbath gets credit for practically creating heavy metal.

Sabbath have had some great numbers for me.......but the pure enervation and joy of AC/DC at their best makes this a no contest.

The Bon Scott AC/DC was more appealing to me than Black Sabbath and much more than Brian Johnson AC/DC

I think strictly under the titles the OP listed, AC/DC was probably the safer all around choice. but... I like Ozzy Osbourne's best songs over AC/DC in general as it's pretty clear cut for me as Ozzy's general singing voice tone etc is definitely better and I think Ozzy got better under his name than he was under Black Sabbath. so basically from the 1980's on forward was better than his 1970's stuff in general and based on that I think Ozzy definitely tops AC/DC, but under Black Sabbath, overall AC/DC probably has the edge although I do like 'Changes' from his 1972 album 'Vol. 4' because it seems a bit more like his music under Ozzy Osbourne instead of Black Sabbath. SargeYeah, they just seem more mainstream/radio friendly and probably have a overall wider appeal if I took a guess. but at the end of the day for me personally... Ozzy's general voice tone is simply more appealing to listen to in my mind when paired with the right song. but I don't think either one will fade away for the foreseeable future as, like you pretty much said, people will still be listening to them for decades to come. |

See my follow up post for clarification.
I wasn't really talking about which band I like more but about the longevity and objective quality of the written music. There is a difference between great performances and great music.
