It is a latin abbreviation signifing before Christ's coming and after his coming.
Clarification:
I believe a couple people have their abbreviations confused. Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D.) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to label or number years used with the Julian and Gregorian calendars. This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years after the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the epoch.

AnswerThere is a hard rock band called AC/DC .In electrical jargon, AC is short for alternating current and DC is short for Direct current.
I'm not 100% certain (meaning I didn't check the credits of every single AC/DC song), but I am a HUGE AC/DC fan, and have been so since I was around 10 years old (I'm 39 now), and don't recall seeing Gary credited as the author of any of AC/DC's songs. I could be wrong of course, but based on the knowledge of AC/DC I've gained over the years, I'm fairly certain that Gary Glitter didn't write any of their songs.
AC is alternating current like in your house. DC is direct current like in your car.
A band that sounds like ac/dc somewhat is Thunder. Rhinobucket are like ac/dc too. they even had Simon Wright(who used to drum for ac/dc) in their lineup for a while.
