Wow, can't believe my favorite song of the album getting so many votes. The energy of reckless life is crazy! Love it.

Yeah the disrespect is real

[Tom2112]

One in a million. I get that it's a character talking blah, blah! but the song isn't particularly great besides the head scratching lyrics.

Move to the city is a bad motherfucker of a song, people clean out your ears!!!!!!

[Gordon Comstock]

I thought Used To Love Her would've been the obvious first choice for most people... guess I'll be voting for that for a couple rounds.

[Honeyxcyanide]

One in a million because it’s a song I can’t agree with and I don’t listen to it

Going by current polling it will see off Reckless Life, Move to the City, Mama Kin and OIAM before it goes.

One In A Million isn't gonna win, but instrumentally, it's easily the best song on the record IMO.

I don't hate it instrumentally but it also does nothing for me. The chorus has a hook that I can't deny, but for me it's a far cry away from the quality of Patience which is the clear winner of the album.

When you guys keep Patience around as a top song whilst kicking out absolute bangers like Reckless life and Nice boys, you're bad and you should feel bad too. OIAM is the best song on the album. I voted mama kin today.

I’m gonna have to go with One in a Million just because of trouble it caused. That said, if not for the lyrics it would be one of their best but what is unacceptable today was already hard to defend in 1988.

Otherwise Mama Kin would be first to go because as a cover it’s basically karaoke.

Yes, I went with OIAM, too, for the same reasons. I guess I'll have to be voting for it in the next few rounds, as it's probably going to make it until the last four.

I'm surprised how many votes Reckless Life is getting. It's not GNR A list but I consider it a decent song.

This. Even if it is not an "A" tier song, I consider it one of those songs that defines the band's sound. I went with "Mama Kin": safe cover of a relatively uninteresting Aerosmith song. 

[StrangerInThisTown]

Would be hilarious if OIAM is the winner after it was left off the boxset. Definitely the best song on the album, don’t care about the issues people have with it, never stopped my enjoyment of it.

My vote is to "You're crazy".

[Robert39]

Move to the city has to go, always hated it !! One in a million is a great song, you only have to see it....... It reflects how a young Axl saw the crazy world in LA , it must have been a shock to him when he came to LA.

[Ratam]

Sadly OIAM has great music, but Axl ruined it whit his lyrics, and today is an damned song

that's crazy

[Lies They Tell]

Voted for Mama Kin. It has nothing to do with it being a cover. I just genuinely like it the least.

[rocknroll41]

Never really liked their cover of Mama Kin.

I are just one of four people that voted "You're crazy". It means has at least four "crazy" fans...

[smokingarthur]

Are you guys serious? Mama Kin, Move To The City over Reckless life? This is absurd, you’re out if your fucking minds. 

[Alexmee239]

Move To The City is underrated

Fair enough, I assume the final 2 will be Patience and You're Crazy. 

[Towelie]

Had no idea MTTC was so unpopular. Always rated it as the best on Lies personally.

Reckless life is brilliant. This is a farce.

[jamillos]

Axl is belching his vocal cords out in RL, how could it be weaker than, say, Mamakin? The answer is, it's not. 

[IrishgunnerII]

Voted for OIAM because while it’s a superb song musically and in how Axl is singing as a whole, Axl decided to act like an idiot and write lyrics that can’t be condoned. And for a guy who’s not an idiot and seems very careful about what he says(court case footage for example), this was a moment he sat on his brains.
