Alpachiris Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The biggest-selling debut album of the Eighties and the biggest hard-rock game-changer since Led Zeppelin IV, Appetite features a lot more than the yowl of Indiana-bred W. Axl Rose. Guitarist Slash gave the band blues emotion and punk energy, while the rhythm section brought the funk on hits such as "Welcome to the Jungle." When all the elements came together, as in the final two minutes of "Paradise City," G N' R left all other Eighties metal bands in the dust, and they knew it too. "A lot of rock bands are too fucking wimpy to have any sentiment or any emotion," Rose said. "Unless they're in pain."LINkhttp://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-100-greatest-debut-albums-of-all-time-20130322/appetite-for-destruction-19691231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Ughhh, The Ramones and the Beastie Boys get the top two spots? Fucking Rolling Stone magazine and their attempt to appeal to hipsters. If this was a list for most overrated bands, I would wholeheartedly agree with their top two selections. So sick and tired of claims of "rejection" and "stripped down" for bands like the Ramones. Great, they reduced rock n' roll to a three-chord rhythm section. So do most shit bands who can barely play or write music. It strikes me as an "emperor has no clothes" kind of situation where no one has the balls to come out and say that the band sucks. At least The Clash could write and play like few bands of that generation could.As for the Beastie Boys, fuck, it's the same fucking song. To quote Mugato in Zooland, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills." Yeah, they have two or three great songs, but their verses follow the same damn pattern/rhythm in every song. "So check it, check, it, check it out..." I mean, "So Whatch, whatcha you want..."Just brutal. I know this is a GNR thread, but considering these two bands were ranked higher, figure it's safe to comment.(yes, this kind of stuff sets me off).

Val22 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 wow, number four is awesome, but so many many amazing albums have been around since the 60's with amazing rock bands. I don't know how they would make a list, unless it goes by how much albums they sold. AFD is one of the most influential rock albums of all time, but so are so many Who, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stone albums and so on. There have been so many awesome rock bands since Elvis, so I don't know how you would even decide to make a list like that? The list would go on and on. Anyway, glad to see AFD on it, because it does deserve to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Wow, what a RETARDED list! Whats funny is this should be a pretty easy list to make, but its Rolling Stone so they can't help to screw it up. Appetite at 4 sounded about right, but the ones thats above it are idiotic, and then the ones mentioned after it are even stupider. I saw at least 20 of these that shouldn't be in there at all, or least not in the spots they were at. Too bad, I'd like to see who should actually be at #1 instead of Beastie Boys, but i guess I'll have to look up some other list for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many legendary artists, such as the Who, Led Zeppelin, and Rolling Stones had much better albums following their debut. It's why there isn't a Beatles album in the top ten - their first album wasn't so great (and mostly covers if I recall properly). I don't see how AFD isn't number one on this list.

Val22 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well, I happen to like alot of the first albums of bands. I remember hearing Led Zepplin 1, it was so different from any other band and back then they didn't do the number one albums like they started in the 80's. That's how so many rock/metal bands go to be number one, like Skid Row. Anyway, what made Led Zepplin so fuckin awesome was that each album was different and they didn't do just rock, but blues and stuff that no one else did. The original rock bands of the 60 and 70's were unique. I think GNR brought that back in the late 80's. Not many bands can change the course of music, but the bands that did, their music will live on. I'm glad to have been around back in the late 60's and 70's, seeing those bands live was something you don't forget. It was history in the making and led the way for so many amazing bands to come. Guitar and drum solos and hitting high notes before pyro and bombs going off, now that was something to see and hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my favorite album, but I disagree with your statement. To be so highly praised is already very impressive. Granted, I don't think the Ramones or Beastie Boys' albums should be anywhere near the top 5 or 10, but Appetite being in the top 5 is a huge compliment. I mean look at how low Led Zeppelin I was rated on this same list. LZ1 has had a huge impact and influence on rock music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's one of those lists that change every time they make a new one. AFD will and should be in the top 10 debut albums ever made, of any genre of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
