There's no way that I can vote NO for them because they were the best hair metal band in all the world for a couple of years. Slash's guitar abilities and the interest in punk rock that he shared with other (original) band members made Appetite for Destruction a classic album. Two decades later I can still listen to it and love it.

On the other hand there's no way that I can vote YES for them because all other music they made is borderline horrible so I'll abstain from this one.

Poll closed, I missed it.... but I'd have voted no... they just don't do anything for me, sure they had attitude to spare, some great riffs, but unfortunately mostly vacant and pretty terrible lyrics, and by the end of the second Use Your Own Illusion album, it felt like they'd run dry on material completely.

There were much better bands emerging at the height of their popularity anyways. They were a short lived and quickly superceded sensation...

I actually think they're a bit underrated in the lyric department to be honest.

That wasn't exactly hard to do though was it?
