1. I'd wager the things you and I disagree on could fill a warehouse
And this is the first shipment. Discuss. :D

3. Well the Stooges' "Search and Destroy" kicks its ass
But that just happens to be playing at the moment. :)

5. Eh, the Stooges.
Hell, "Kick Out The Jams" by MC5 kicks Rocket Queen's ass on any given day. But you know, I was listening to Rocket Queen when I posted the thread. Heh.

4. C'mon, that's not even the coolest Gn'R song
"Nighttrain", "It's So Easy", "My Michelle"...?

7. Ewww, I hate "Nighttrain" and "It's So Easy".
But "My Michelle" is great, and "You're Crazy" could probably kick "Rocket Queen"'s ass depending on one's mood.

Still, I was listening to "Rocket Queen" and it sounded so fucking great! You should go listen to it right now.

10. Yes.
Opening with a vicious gutter screed, life on the streets, running scared... then culminating in a heartfelt ballad....

Hell, it's the whole Appetite album wrapped up nice & tidy in one song. :thumbsup:

11. I KNOW.
Not to mention the super-fun-to-sing-along-to "no no no no no no"'s at the end of the song. It's got it all. And a great guitar solo.

15. The best American rock album of all time does not feature "Anything Goes."
It's a great record, but that's a shit song. ;)

20. God, you boys and your Stooges!
I'm just a metal girl at heart, Hedges. I will never love punk with the fervor and reverence you penised people do.

21. 1970, js.
Well before "punk" or "metal" were defined.

I'd go so far as to say that Fun House is every bit as metal as G'n'R, and that Appetite is every bit as punk as the Stooges.

I don't really care what the music's called (Stooges were just called "rock music" when they were around), just whether or not it's any good.

And anyway... how do YOU know I have a penis? :o

26. Nah...coolest song ever: "Don't Jump Me Mother" by DMZ.
Edited on Thu Jul-13-06 12:47 PM by RandomKoolzip
Second place goes to "Know Your Product" by the Saints, third to "I Got By in Time" by the Jam.

"Help You Ann" by the Lyres and "Starry Eyes" by The Records fit in there somewhere as well.

However, you're talking to a guy here who never liked ANY Guns 'n' Roses song.

30. Really? See, "jpgray's Cock = Spam" by Ass Bandits from Anal County
came out that same year, and that one you mentioned seemed anemic in comparison.

32. No way. "50, 000 Things to be Happy About, For Example The Fact
That jpgray is Like a Total Douchebag" by By Doug Rump and the Catatonic Endocrinologists is superior in all facets.

And they're pretty good.

But hey, don't let me break up your fun here. :eyes: :D

45. I know. They had a great song called "little Bastard" back in the 90's.
I'm paraphrasing when I mentioned that other band - SouthoftheBorderPaul and I once floated "Ass Bandits Invade Anal Castle" as a title of an album from our last band.

33. You can't have both DMZ *and* the Lyres on your list.
It will create a rift in the space/time continuum.

Like that time I listed a bootleg on my "50 Greatest Albums of All Time" list and you almost passed a stone in protest.

C'mon, hedges! Let your freak flag fly, kind rainbow brother!

How about this:

C'mon Hedges! Let it all hang out!
