Appetite came out when I was in middle school. Some kids in class where singing the chorus to Paradise City and I didn't know what the hell was going on. Then it hit me, and sure enough, I had to have the bandana and was singing and dancing Axl style. Still one of my favorite albums ever. Doesn't seem to age with time. Can't pick a side though, too hard to do that!!

Phew, it's really hard to pick a side. I love both. But if I had to choose I'd probably go with side 2. It's just a tiny bit more sleazy than side 1 and "My Michelle", "Think About You" and "Rocket Queen" are easily the most emotionally raw songs on the album.

Can you ever go wrong with a Gun's-n-Roses album?? I mean seriously, I don't think that anyone could ever complain.

To make up words like lefticle, ya need to be nuts.

One of the best albums of all time in my opinion. Great time for sleaze rock. L.A. Guns, Circus of Power, Junkyard and Faster Pussycat we're / are amazing as well. I know they get lumped in with hair bands but I called them sleaze rock.

**** yeah, Faster Pussycat! I seem to like them less and less every time I listen to them, but I still think they're totally underrated.

I don't know about picking a side but it's still a killer album. I just listen to it again about a week ago. My favorites are It's So Easy, Night Train and Mr. Brownstone.
