What was the best Guns and Roses album?

why is Zach Braff poking himself in the eye? .. anyhoo ... Appetite for Destruction by far

Bollocks.  They were a band that rocked just as hard as any band of their generation, produced classic songs and had a raw energy and aggression that you just don't see in 'big arena rock.'

Guns and Roses were a shot of JD straight to the heart of a music scene that woke up a whole generation of people.

Whatever followed them, followed them, but to write them off like that is very blinkered.  Just because they were popular doesn't mean they weren't important or didn't produced great rock music.

Oh and for me Appetite is their best album!  I will not stand for Guns and Roses hatred in these here forums!

Good way to put it Duckman. It is good to see that people have fondness for such a great band. And honestly, as much as I wish the original members still remained in the band, I am glad they stopped after their music was at its all time high.

I'll never forget the opening line of their live album

"If you wanted the best, they didn't fucking make it. So heres what you get, from Hollywood... Guns...And...Roses!"

Guns N' Roses were not that musically different than what was before them. If you ask me, they were hair metal just like the rest. In my eyes, musically they're BARELY distanced from say, Poison.

Fair enough.  Then again considering your taste in music as exampled on these forums - I'm MORE than happy to disagree with you on any musical matter.

Appetite is just such a great album, really fun stuff. I think Use Your Illusion 2 is easily second, but it's too ballad based in my view, I liked the whole Classic Rock Party feel to Appetite.

I'm a fan of all of them but Appetite definitely sold me. I still listen to it in it's entirety today.

Appetite for Destruction


hands down the best for me
