Poll question: How much does Guns-n-Roses suck?
"Welcome to the Jungle" just finished on my cubemate's radio, and I usually hear "You Could Be Mine" at least once a day from the same source.

Ah, Pittsburgh!

3. I think Appetite For Destruction is one of the great rock albums
Lies was ok, Use Your Illusion I & II sucked somewhat, and The Spaghetti Incident sucked a lot. :shrug:

4. In my opinion
It was refreshing to see a rock band after putting up with all those years of bands like Ratt, Poison, Cinderella and so on. I was a bit surprised to see Slash playing a Les Paul. Those pointy guitars were too pointy. I really only liked their first album and a little of the second.

7. I think Appetite for Destruction is a classic!
True, it's overplayed, and certainly Axle's recent antics don't help their legacy, but I still think they were a great band!

16. A solid band with a mass suckage singer
They would have a much better legacy if they had hired a real singer instead of torturing an ocelot to get their vocals. I think they were pretty damn good as a band, though their songwriting was not that great. No matter, though: I can't listen to them at all. As soon as Assle opens his mouth, it's time to change the station.

19. "We Didn't Start The Fire" overwhelms any good that he might have done
Utterly horrendous.

21. I agree, except that I like Billy Joel
GnR might be talented, but I don't care for the style. Then again, I've never been a big hair metal fan.
