Without commenting on every song, once again I have to mention Oh My God. It hasn't got the recognition it deserves, imo it belongs in the top 20.

Laughably high slots for 'Out Ta Get Me' at #13, 'Anything Goes' at #17 and 'So Fine' at #18.  (are you fucking kidding me?)

And 'You Could Be Mine' at #23?  I think not.

I don't mind Out Ta Get Me high on the list, but I agree with Anything Goes and So Fine, they belong further down.

You Could Be Mine should be top 10 I agree.


They rank Better as the best song on Chinese Democracy at #15, I can roll with that.

I thought Better, November Rain, You could be mine, should of been ranked higher.

Their top 10 is not that different from mine, just in a different order.

That said, is 'My Michelle' a top 10 alltime song for them?  GREAT riff and pretty cool lyrics, but is really a top 10 track?

Haha, yeah these lists never mean anything but it's fun to see that GN'R are continually of interest.

Also cool to see they've done some effort in displaying relevant pictures to each song.

You Could Be Mine anywhere outside of the top 7 and that's a stretch is a travesty!

Well done list, especially with the artwork they hunted down for each track.  Overall I generally agree with the placement of a lot of the songs.  Some like So Fine and Prostitute are really out of place.  Nice job overall, they took the time to honestly critique each song with some constructive criticism.  Looks like Somone with actual GNR knowledge put this together.   I would have left the cover songs off though.  Those aren't GNR songs imo.  They could have been a separate cover song list.

Subjective opinion. I don't think they pretend anything else.

I agree, the covers should have been on a list of their own.

While interesting to read, its just one person's opinion.  Can't agree with it, but I enjoyed it.   : ok:

Not easy to rank at all, my list today would probably change in 4 weeks... But i would have You could be mine, Coma, Breakdown and Dont damn me on top 10.

I feel like it was based on popularity, not best. In my opinion, the top 10 should've atleast included There Was A Time, Estranged, Better, November Rain, and You Could Be Mine. How is WTTJ #1?

Agreed on Estranged and Nov. Rain but I don't see anything wrong with Jungle at 1. It sums up the band's roots, it's practically their theme song, it's their show opener the vast majority of the time, their opening track on their opening album...their statement of intent.

Yeah I know, but it doesn't really touch the art put into estranged, TWAT, November Rain, or even SCOM. That's my opinion, some people like it, some don't. It's a good song, I just don't think it's the best.

At least Axl wrote My World... how do you place a poorly written and poorly received cover song ahead of anything they wrote.
