Music Banter - View Single Post - Top 1000 Artists/Bands and Artist/Band of the week

Taking suggestions from Trollheart, here is my attempt at enhancing my artist of the week posts.

Week 1 - Guns N Roses
I still consider Guns N Roses one of my favorite bands of all time. When I was a child, Sweet Child O' Mine was the first rock & roll song that I discovered and loved. Appetite for Destruction is still my #1 album ever. Use Your Illusions 1 and 2 are still both amazing, with only a few disappointing songs on each. GNR Lies,The Spaghetti Incident, and Chinese Democracy are nothing to write home about, but each have some gems. Perhaps those three albums are solid, but are just lacking in comparison to such masterpieces as Appetite and Illusions 1 and 2. Estranged and Coma are two songs that barely missed my top 5. The mix of punk and blues with rock and roll make Guns N Roses a solid "go-to" band. My World is a trippy song, unlike anything else within the GNR catalog. Ain't It Fun was the single pleasant surprise from The Spaghetti Incident I forgot about.

My top 5:
It's So Easy
November Rain
Rocket Queen
Sweet Child O' Mine
Welcome To The Jungle
