I'd agree with that Van Halen were pioneers of the genre/movement but were good as musicians that they could break away from it and they just provided good fun rock and roll. IMO, GNR Appetite For Destruction holds up to this day as a great record.. even though it's not something I listen to much.

Yeah, what Van Halen did at the time was very fresh and new and I don't hold it against them just because a bunch of crappy bands ripped them off.
And Appetite for Destruction is still one of my favorite "rock n roll" records, I've gotten kinda burned out on Sweed Child O'Mine and Paradise City but I never get tired of Welcome to the Jungle and the rest of the album is great too, gotta love Rocket Queen.
I also like the Use Your Illusion albums a lot despite their faults and rancid crap like Garden of Eden and My World.
You Could be Mine has the most badass drum and guitar intro EVER.
