15 Landmark Albums That Changed The Face Of Music Forever
8. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Yes, Guns N Roses has now become one of rock and rolls greatest tragic comedies in their latter years but when they released Appetite For Destruction in 1987 it was no laughing matter. In a time when mainstream rock radio was dominated by glitz and glam bands like Poison and Twisted Sister, Appetite put more of an emphasis on rock and roll than its contemporaries. Instead of focusing on their image, Guns N Roses made the music the image, by making very good, very raw, and very ugly rock and roll. Each song on the album is proof that when they were at their cohesive best, Guns N Roses could deliver the goods. Appetite For Destruction made rock and roll dangerous again. Critics all over the world would say that Nirvanas Nevermind was the nail in the coffin for hair metal. Well, Appetite For Destruction was what put the lid on it first. Album Highlights: Rocket Queen, My Michelle, Nightrain
