    I prefer Bon so I'm a bit biased, but it's hard to say.

    After Brian Johnson joined, AC/DC's sound seemed to lose its edge. With each consecutive album the production sounded slicker and a bit more commercial.

    Additionally, Brian Johnson's voice sounds more grating and strained to me. It also lacks Bon's cheeky charisma.

    They sold more records of course, but I still prefer the tougher, stripped down sound of Bon Scott era AC/DC.

    I'm not sure that Bon Scott's voice would've suited later era AC/DC but it would be interesting to hear though.
