#4 Guns ‘N’ Roses
Just before I became swept up in grunge, I listened to an album that was loud, crude, disrespectful, obnoxious, lude, profane, and all the other words. I was probably twelve years old when I first listened to it on tape with my walkman in class at school. I was too young to appreciate anything about it musically, and to be honest, while there are some great riffs and beats, there probably isn’t much to it from a standpoint of quality music, but for a twelve year old boy about to go to high school in the thralls of puberty, it spoke to me.
I don’t think I had formed my own opinion about music until then. Before Appetite, I pretty much just listened to whatever my parents or older sister listened to. There was a lot of 80’s pop and ‘soft rock’. Appetite was the break away to form my own identity. It was the opposite of not just mainstream pop, but it was also a middle finger to the glam rock icons of the time. There was nothing I didn’t love about Appetite For Destruction.
Unfortunately, of all the albums on this list, this is the one that has aged the worst over time for me. I can still listen to it, but I don’t ever go back to it except ‘for old time’s sake’.
