1. Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tj2zJ2Wvg From those opening delay-pedal-infused notes that perfectly symbolise the depravity and L.A underground-sleaze the band were known for, it's a descent into another world that still manages to seem inviting and entertaining. Whether it be Slash (a man who you could throw a few bits of string and some nails and he'd come up with a killer riff) or Axl Rose's signature whiny vocals, both they, Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler and bassist Duff McKagan all combined to produce one of those albums no one in the world would ever be able to come close to replicating. Even Slash himself says he can't nail the tone his Les Paul was putting out at the time - be it from equipment that was weathered to produce a certain lack of quality, or perhaps a bottle of Jack Daniels was just wedged in there - the album is the other side of the coin to what the likes of the super-polished Bon Jovi were kicking out. Guns didn't earn their nickname of The World's Most Dangerous Band' through some marketing spin or a self-cock-strutting lyric, it came naturally from every gig they did - some of which they barely even turned up for being Slash was too busy handling various drug-dealers minutes before hitting the stage or all the rest of the band were buried under a mountain of the opposite sex from the previous night. Replayability is about something as well as the infectious nature of particular songs; it's about the feel of an album, and the human element. That ability to pull you in and connote all sorts of images that can only come from listening to a certain set of perfectly-produced tracks in a certain order. Appetite easily manages that, and gives you 12 utterly immortal rock songs along the way - one of them hilariously being Slash's regret in that his ballad Sweet Child O' Mine got so huge, and another featuring the recorded moans of a girl Axl was doing the dirty with in the studio during Rocket Queen's middle section - all just for the hell of it. It's impossible to get sick of: Everything. Each and every track on Appetite is a perfect embodiment of its time, and the ultimate rock album. From huge parent-scaring vocal-tones to Slash's sleazy feel on the guitar that not a single person can truly replicate, it's a body of work that rewards the first listen just as much as the 100th. So which other rock albums can you never get tired of? Let us know in the comments!
