#62 Guns N’ Roses, 'Appetite for Destruction' (1987)

No, that’s not a typo. Out of 500 albums it was bound to happen; an album so consistent that it moved neither up nor down, but kept its spot because this band moves for no one. This band won’t be told what to do. This band does as they want. This band is GnFnR. Incubated within the LA club scene, ‘Appetite For Destruction’ burst through the gates to… no acclaim. Opening with ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ the song was quickly developed based on a riff that Slash had written in his mother’s basement paired with lyrics that Axl Rose wrote while visiting New York with a friend. The two had stepped out of a bus and encountered a homeless man who said to them "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die!"
