That's the amazing thing about music though, isn't it? Like how people can like some things more than other things that people like. It's almost like music is an art whose appreciation is often subjective.

I mean aside from the fact that this album is literally the personification of hard, groovy, dirty rock n roll, it does have 3 of the most iconic songs in the history of rock n roll. On one album. And those aren't even the best songs.

Best album ever made. Get yourself fitted for a skirt if you don't like it. In all seriousness though, best album of all time.

Yeah, it's the best album ever made in the same year in which Abigail, Hall of the Mountain King, Nightfall, Bound to Break, Suspended Sentence, etc. came out. And that's just the more traditional material.

Nothing wrong with those albums, Abigail especially is a classic. But this annihilates them all.

You keep saying "best album" like it means something non-subjective.



Take 1978, for instance. Everyone from Dolly Parton to Foreigner released albums that year. There were even some great ones, like Rush's Hemispheres. But despite nearly all of them being "compositionally" superior to Van Halen's debut, VH1 blows nearly all of them completely out of the water.



Despite what you might think about your highbrow appreciation of great "composition" in music, most people find, and have found, that Appetite for Destruction has infinitely more memorable riffs, melodies and lyrics than any of the albums you mentioned, except maybe the classic Bound to Break lyric "Agaku koto mo sakebi mo wasure IN THE ELEVATOR!!!!" (LMAO!)

Well, at least we can all agree on one thing. That WASP is infinitely superior.

Might be a dumb thing to ask but I’ve always wondered, is the guitars on both stereo channels Izzy or if it’s Slash and Izzy who’s playing on which stereo channel?

I believe that it's usually (maybe always, but I'm not sure) Izzy panned left and Slash panned right. You can sort of tell the difference in their styles because Izzy tends to play the riffs in a more groovy percussive style while Slash seems to like letting the chords ring and adding little licks to them. It's particularly noticeable on the verses of Nightrain and Paradise City. You can also tell because on the intro of Sweet Child O' Mine because the rhythm guitar under the main riffs is panned left, implying that it's Izzy.

Even when I was younger and listened to more older stuff, I couldn't get into this band. Axl has always been grating as fuck and outside of the singles which I've already heard to death, this shit is just plain boring.
