Scorpions in the 1970's and upto to the mid 1980`s were without doubt one of the best metal acts of all time. Singer Klaus Meine`s voice was always something very special.

Scorpions (70`s to mid 80`s) > Guns N Roses >>>> Scorpions (post mid 80s) and Dokken >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ratt......are about as bad as it gets.

As far as impact goes Appetite is one of the most successful debut albums of all time and turned GnR from being just another LA bar band into being a household name in just over a year. No Soundgarden album can really compare on that level.
I think you`ve summed it up with Appetite, as with the first three songs "Welcome to the Jungle" "It`s so easy" and "Nightrain" basically blew away the rest of the hair metal competition.
