After playing November Rain on SIRIUS/XM Classic Cuts the DJ reported GN'R were voted by the LA Times as #7 in a poll ranking the top 50 LA bands..the Doors were #1 (I disagree)..If I find the results I'll post them, unless someone beats me to it.
The page says the list is "in no particular order", if I'm not mistaken it's just a list they put together but they didn't rank the bands, apparently they let their readers vote.
It's a pretty cool list though, and nice to see GN'R there of course!
