AC/DC TOPS AMONG CANADIAN AUTOGRAPH HUNTERS

AC/DC have topped a new list of rocking autograph givers - because they're always happy to sign for fans.

HoundsTV.com, has compiled a list of the best and worst musicians, judged on how they respond to Canadian fans with autograph books and pens in 2008.

AC/DC came in first ahead of Coldplay and The Guess Who, while Bon Jovi and The Eagles came in rock bottom on the signing sheet.

HoundsTV.com editors claim AC/DC were an easy pick as best autograph givers because "from the time they checked into their downtown Toronto hotel (for a concert last year (08)) until boarding the bus to play the sold-out stadium gig, to after lunch on Bloor St. the next day, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Brian Johnson... were signing champs and all round great guys, greeting fans and collectors at every turn."

Former Led Zeppelin bandmates Robert Plant and Jimmy Page received a lashing from the site for their meanness: "While they were not touring together... Robert Plant and Jimmy Page arrived in Toronto within weeks of each other during 2008. Plant, on tour with Alison Krauss, played a summer show, and Page came to the Toronto Film Festival weeks later to support a film.

"Page announced on arrival, regarding autograph requests, 'I'm kinda finished with that,' and stuck to his word. Robert Plant was equally dismissive the few times (he was) approached by collectors over the course of the couple of days he was in Toronto."
