10 Hard Rock Albums With Only One Bad Song

10. My World - Guns N Roses

After pulverizing the rock world with Appetite For Destruction, the future of rock seemed to be ripe for Guns N Roses once the '90s got underway. Despite the obvious shift towards alternative rock in the wake of the grunge movement, the Use Your Illusion saga still holds up as two decent pieces of rock and roll, as we get a peek into the more grandiose side of the World's Most Dangerous Band. Then My World comes on and yanks you out of the whole thing.

Written in what was reportedly just a few minutes by Axl Rose in between the sessions, My World just feels like some vain attempt to reach the industrial side of the rock spectrum. I mean, you've already tried piano balladry and long drawn-out songs...why do you need to dip your toes into Trent Reznor's territory at this point?

The kind of threatening demeanor isn't even all that convincing coming from Rose, who ends up sounding like just school bully who threw you up against a locker and is refusing to let go. While the story of Rose being under the influence of magic mushrooms during this recording has been contested, it's not hard to see why people would jump to that conclusion. As much as GNR would hit their peak with these records, this is the sharp dropoff that no one wanted.
