And it only gets more intense from there, building a manifesto of what to take swigs at, including this gem: “Elvis was a hero to most / But he never meant shit to me / You see, straight-up racist that sucker was / Simple and plain / Mother fuck him and John Wayne / 'Cause I'm black and I'm proud.” And that’s the truth, Ruth. 47.

Don’t let Puff Daddy ruin this for you. 63. Of all of the iconic guitar riffs on this list, the opening line from "Sweet Child o' Mine" takes the air-splitting cake. 56. Best moment: Seven seconds in, when the guitar, bass, drums and piano all come down on the beat. Forgettable on its own, fascinating for what it foreshadowed. This was the moment in every concert when you wondered if the dude was going to be able to speak when he was 40. Why’s he so dang angry? Best moment: Axl shrieking “AAAAAAAAHHHHHH” over the unforgettable main riff right after the song’s midpoint. While trying to get his father out of a financial jam, a man comes up with an idea that turns into an unexpected overnight financial fashion success - the bottomless pants. “Welcome to the Jungle” (Appetite for Destruction)This is one of those songs that you can’t even listen to with anything remotely approaching objectivity; you’ve heard it too many times, in too many places, with too many associations in your life. Everything done here is done so much better elsewhere. Check out Funk Classics The 80's by Various artists on Amazon Music. Best moment: Slash breaking out the old Peter Frampton vocoder for the wooah wooah guitar sound. It’s a discount-rack version of “Estranged,” and for that, I kind of love its overwhelming ambition and designs on an epic scope. ), 48.

The Ultimate ’80s Rock n’ Roll Trivia Quiz Bon Jovi had eight rock songs throughout the 80s that reached the top ten and still remain some of the best rock songs of all time. Best moment: Axl standing up for his rocket queen, declaring with throat-searing sincerity that “No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain, I hate to see you walking out there, out in the rain…” It ain’t Springsteen, but it’s close enough. And Lisa … )The ’70s were one hell of an era for big ol’ burly sweaty dudes playing rock music in t-shirts and jeans, and you don’t get any burlier or sweatier than this song. Thanks for subscribing! Unlike “Welcome to the Jungle” or “Mr. Eliot’s The Wasteland). This version of “You’re Crazy” is more sinister and threatening than anything Glass Tiger or White Lion or Dokken or Enuff Z’nuff or Kix or anyone else could ever imagine. Maybe not surprising, coming from a band named after an amphetamine, but the U.K. group propels the juddering rhythms of its classic 1982 single like a dynamo, chugging through tempo changes while picking up steam for the big finish.

It’s interesting but not necessarily revelatory (as opposed to, say, Hendrix on “All Along the Watchtower” or Johnny Cash on “Hurt”). 3. “Live & Let Die” (Use Your Illusion I)It has now been more time between right now and Use Your Illusion than between Use Your Illusion and the original Wings version of “Live and Let Die.” Damn. she sends those chills up and down my spine, Oh oh yeah so fine. 371 kajagoogoo too shy By the way, it’s been TWENTY-FIVE years since the Illusions were released.

The best pop songs of all time are as varied and attention-grabbing as the artists who sing them. Bowie began the 80s with a dismissal of those he saw as imitators or cheap fashionistas. “It’s All Right” (Live Era ‘87–’93)A gentle piano ditty, a cover of an old Black Sabbath tune that usually served as an intro to “November Rain” during shows, this is — again — an example of how good and affecting this band could be when they cut out all the ancillary, overproduced crap. Don’t go punching down! Still, you can hear the seeds of what was to come — falling-down-the-stairs solo, stutter-step-into-hell return to the chorus, Axl shattering windows with his shriek. “Prostitute” (Chinese Democracy)Leave it to Axl to saddle one of his sweetest-sounding intros with a dismissive title like “Prostitute.” Like most of CD, it’s a mess of different genres, verse and chorus probably recorded eight years apart, but somehow it still manages to hold together, mostly through sheer force of Axl’s will. “You’re Crazy” (Appetite for Destruction)I do love a song that sounds like a juiced Mustang barreling brakeless down a mountain road, and this is that, a three-minute sprint that relents only to reload.

Best moment: Axl keening like the Axl of old, screaming “I would do anything for youuuuu” starting around the 3:57 mark. The droning riff at the center of “Buick Mackane” sounds like something a stoned teenager would come up with screwing around on a bass at 4am, and even the mighty GnFnR can’t redeem this T. Rex cover. Apple! 32. 67. Best moment: Axl’s yowling in the background gives this a more cartoonish feel than the original, but it still works well enough. 8. The difference between this song off Illusion II and CD, of course, is that this has the rest of the band to anchor it, while CD was nothing but Axl’s untrammeled ego. [UPDATE: Here’s an iTunes playlist of the whole list created by reader PeteSoPete. It doesn’t matter. The draw-and-release of the chorus shows what’s missing from Chinese Democracy: the simple pleasure of an unadorned, kickass riff. Plus, this is a ridiculously hard song to bang your head to. “Nightrain”Guns’ best early tunes were the ones you didn’t listen to, you hung onto. It probably doesn’t need to be more than six minutes long, but then you could say that of pretty much every song on this album. That’s in force here on “Brownstone,” which starts with a sinister shuffle before segueing into a dance-with-the-devil groove. It’s still somehow a hopeful song, or at least has the appearance of hope … and that’s about the best you could get in late-80s Los Angeles. But the three different Axls popping up here, plus the glossy production, plus the frothing Lewis Black-esque sputtering don’t age so well.

This 1981 platinum-certified single is essentially Australia's unofficial national anthem, incorporating country pride, lots of local slang ("fried-out Kombi," "head full of zombie") and even the tune of a popular Aussie children's song, "Kookaburra," for the flute part. 101 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Singles Chart) I am one of only TWO people who have even uploaded this song onto YouTube! Best moment: Axl’s scat routine at the two-minute mark, where he basically yelps out a guitar solo. Now, of course, “Welcome to the Jungle” is played at JV football games and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” at baby showers; repetition has watered down the lethality. Naturally, there was a certain amount of leakage between the two—which is why 1985’s “Close to Me” is a strong contender for the band’s best song, with its yearning lyrics matched by ultra perky brass riffs (inspired by a New Orleans funeral march, obvs). Here, it’s the third man off the bench. Goffin and King were inspired by the title of the aria Un bel di from the Puccini opera Madama Butterfly. 23. Medleys are underrated. Plus, the wickedness embodied in the song’s break is beyond anything that any of the now-forgotten hair bands that were Guns’ contemporaries could possibly envision. Best moment: “I NEVER WANTED YOU TO BE SOAP AND A HANDLE!” Or something like that. And Axl and Izzy joined the Stones onstage to cover “Salt of the Earth” once. Déjà vu! Maybe Axl’s thirteen-second-long “FUCK YOUUUUUU” at 1:57 is computer-enhanced, but probably not; the dude had enough rage to go three times that long. “Move To The City” (G N’ R Lies)We’re starting to shed the more embarrassing elements of the GnR discography now. A New Order single is like if architecture was flush with hormones. Sade is just so damned smooth. This is longing on a supernatural scale, and Tyler holds her own against the thundering arrangement as she roars out some of the least quiet desperation ever known to pop music. The way you strut (strut) Your (your) stuff across the floor Baby I (I) Can't (can't) Have you to myself Fun fact: this came out at the same time as Billy Ray Cyrus’s “Achy Breaky Heart,” and is a much better musical backing that fits to the exact same lyrics. “Sympathy for the Devil” (Interview with the Vampire soundtrack)Despite their shared musical heritage, Guns hadn’t really done a whole lot of Stones crossovers. 36. 41. This cover of the New York Dolls swings, at least as much as Guns could swing. Best moment: Alice Cooper, checking in from the golf course for a faux-spooky verse or two. Sometimes, less is far, far more. Yes, it’s got all the hallmarks of Guns-related product — somebody who’s done Axl wrong, ascending blues-rock stomp in the chorus, multiple Axl voices (the crooner, the banshee) — but it’s like vinyl played too slow, a somnolent jam that never gets out of first gear. Best moment: Dizzy Reed banging the piano keys right through to the floor. Maybe even right now. Best moment: Axl shrieking something about a blind man following him in chains at the 45-second mark. she thrills me, she thrills me She thrills me, yeah. When I saw you, Come inside Couldn't to help notice that you were alone tonight Oh your so fine Can we dance, can we talk, can we spend some time. Oh, that ill-fated bassline. “Running Up That Hill” was so huge because it was her most digestible—though still weird, with its galloping drums and a Fairlight synthesizer hook that sounds like pan pipes from deep space. Best moment: The lyrical curiosities. This song — which is apparently about Axl’s fight with a neighbor, but who cares — could get preschoolers trashing their nursery room, hammering away relentlessly. “Dead Horse” (Use Your Illusion I)This one’s a paint-by-numbers lyrical adventure from Axl, all woman-done-him-wrong-and-twisted-up-his-syntax (“Sick of this life, not that you care / I’m not the only one with whom these feelings I share”). Writer-singer Bryan Ferry’s falsetto during the verse draws you in, his romantic mantra of a chorus absolutely floors you, and the whole thing is shrouded in a plaintive, synthy, beautiful glow. Less is more here. (The irony, of course, is that nobody cared more about you, and specifically what you thought of him, than Axl in the early ‘90s. Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy Rick Astley - She Wants To Dance With Me Surface - Shower Me With Your Love Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal Love & Rockets - So Alive Donny Osmond - Soldier of Love Tears For Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love Rem - Stand Paula Abdul - Straight Up Ann Wilson & Robin Zander - Surrender To Me Best moment: “Is she really goin’ out with him?” Yeah, man, she is. Further proof that there’s a great album lurking beneath the cream-cheese icing of Chinese Democracy. Then he doubles down with anti-gay, anti-immigrant garbage that still resonates today; this song is a Twitter egg set to music. When it comes on, you've got no choice but to relax and drift off into the quiet storm. The first single ever recorded by the indie-rock outfit, “Tugboat” consists of only two chords, some scant lyrics about not wanting to do much of anything, save being a tugboat captain (a reference to the Velvet Underground's Sterling Morrison, a clear hero), and...that’s about it. “Don’t Cry” (Alternate) (Use Your Illusion II)The exact same damn song with different lyrics, which I like slightly better, so it gets the nod. 42. “Street of Dreams” (Chinese Democracy)This right here is the one song that pulls together everything that Axl surely wanted Chinese Democracy to be: rage and longing and fury and raw emotion, Elton John fronting Radiohead and covering Aerosmith songs. Best moment: Stephen Adler and Duff McKagan racing each other to hold onto the beat. 373 rod stewart some guys have all the luck.

Complexity, be damned! Axl spits some of his usual hallucinatory paranoiac hostility (“Gonna have some fun with my frustration/Gonna watch the big screen in my head”), but here, like in few other places, it works. The famously cantankerous Lou Reed loved it, as did Tom Cruise’s go-get-’em titular character in Jerry Maguire (who, no disrespect, doesn’t seem like the most scrutinizing music listener).
