So, what is it about AC/DC that justifies their place in the latest stages of this tournament?

I suppose most of the bands in the tournament being even shitter.

They have one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in all of rock and had Bon Scott.

Bob Marley and the Wailers walk this thing but have been gerrymandered out.

Kraftwerk are great but I’d forgotten how much I enjoy listening to The Dubliners and would have voted for them in the final.

There are some bands (like Pink Floyd, ABBA or Radiohead, for example) that do nothing for me, but I can see the argument that they are objectively good - in terms of musicianship, songwriting, versatility, originality, ambition, influence, etc.

 

Conversely, there are some bands that I really like, but they don't have those qualities, so I wouldn't claim that they should be considered "great"?

I think it is the number of votes they are getting from people.

And that one late vote that always pushes them over the line.

Is that you Donald?

 

It does not matter when votes are in or when they are counted, every vote count. 

[SasaS]

Every legal vote.
