To me, the best of the best that left us in the 80's was Bon Scott. There is no substitute.

Holy "F", could they play!

Bon Scott WAS so much better than Brian Johnson. I love 74 Jailbreak, Rocker and Let There Be Rock. I've seen Angus play live even though it's been close to 30 years ago. He may not be THE best living guitar but he can play while running, jumping, falling on his back etc. Never misses a lick. I still think David Gilmore is the best living guitar player but Angus is pretty damn good.
Now as for Jeff Healy well he could play pretty good no doubt. And the songs he did in Roadhouse weren't bad. But his one hit wonder song around 89/90 " Angel Eyes" was SO cheesy I couldn't listen to it. Seriously at that time I can only compare the lyrics cheesy silliness to Cherry Pie by Warrant. Either of the two songs could have been written by a third grade class in an afternoon.
