Appetite for Destruction
Guns N' Roses (1987)
Top Tracks: “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Mr. Brownstone”, “My Michelle”Guns N' Roses (1987)
Kinda of like Nirvana would do a few years later, Appetite was an album that made a huge impact and changed the direction of popular music for awhile. There had been plenty of other bands out there epitomizing the Sunset Strip sound, look, and lifestyle… Motley Crue and others come to mind. But GNR took it even further, making it grittier and more druggy and rock and roll than the purely image-based hair metal bands that preceded them. I just thought they sounded like an edgier version of old Aerosmith at the time, and I wasn’t wrong (May 2020).
