Title: AOL's 111 wussiest songs
Post by: faldor on July 31, 2006, 05:14:57 PM
Lots of good songs on this list (in my opinion), so don't take this too seriously.

99. 'Don't Cry'

Guns N' Roses (1991)
If you're a sucker for Axl's softer side, Slash's dramatic, shirtless guitar solos and big-budget videos that look really cool but make no sense, then this weeper is the second best song of all time -- next to 'November Rain.'

Just a typical Internet poll made probably by someone who has no taste in music.

i dont get it.

they say the song is on the worst list, but their critique is about the video.

and if its 99 on that list doesnt that mean that its better than the 98 other songs?

Sorry I got the list wrong, it's the wussiest songs, not worst.  Sorry about that.  My bad.

Here's the list, and no November Rain didn't rank higher.

man, now that makes sense, i guess.

though songs with solos like those cant really be considered wussy if you ask me.

There's also an allusion to GNR when the list names Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn:"

Poison's rampant hedonism was just a cry for help from the band's secret, inner wuss. If the lipgloss didn't give it away, lyrics like "instead of makin' love, we both made our separate ways" exposed the guys as a bunch of softies. Any real metalhead would know that roses are only cool when paired with guns or tattoos.
