[Mikkamakka]

Yesterday VH1 Europe had a Top10 on the songs of 1988. SCOM was the winner.

I was just waiting for them to play number 1...

I knew it was SCOM...

SCOM is a great song, that rocks that its number 1. and it started as a joke riff by slash imagen that your biggest hit came off a joke fooling around.  from what i  read about the song in blender magazine the one with Dave Chapelle on the cover Slash even hated the song for a while.  I dont have the magazine otherwise i would transcribe the whoele article here

peace

Cant argue with that SCOM was the best song of 1988 its just a timeless classic

he did hate it.. on an old vh1 interview regarding scom being #3 on "50 greatest songs" or something similar countdown, slash said that he "f**king hated the song"

Shouldn't it technically be a 1987 song since that was its first release?  Do they go by the release date of the single?  Someone was showing me the list this morning and it was definitely the best song on there.

I dont know im guessing they're going on single release date, Im  not sure when SCOM was released as a single but if it was album release then they would have to put the song in 1987

No argument here. If you ask me it's the best radio-type song of the last 25-30 years.

I think the single's released date made SCOM the best song of 1988 (and the songs quality, of course), but at the end of the song when the band's name, song title, album title appeared, VH1 misdated AFD to 1988.

Best song, period.

Actually, I think its more true for "Paradise City," but "SCOM" is about as good so
