#5 Guns n' Roses21 guns that is all.

#5 Guns n' RosesMeh on both. I don't change the station if either plays.

#5 Guns n' RosesI really like Rage minus the far left politics. They had a unique, angry sound which fused several genres.... but GNR was clearly the best hair band and it's not close.

Yep, Morello's easily the best guitar player to emerge post grunge. Really unique, chinteresting band. But GnR are fucking legends.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I really like Rage minus the far left politics.

#5 Guns n' RosesFWIW I'd take Rage over anyone in this bracket after #5 except Weezer and Soundgarden.
They're a top 8 seed for me, of these 16 anyway. I'd still have them below AiC, Smashing Pumpkins and Muse. -
#12 Rage Against the MachineFucking hated GnR all the way back to the 80's when I was a shit kicking little punk rock kid and still do. I have some respect for Slash but Axl was the ultimate faux tough guy. How their music ever got a reputation for being "hard" is still completely beyond me. They are in the same category as Bon Jovi for me.

#5 Guns n' RosesMy tie-breaker is the fact that Rage always said "fuck the system," only to then sign a major record deal with Epic.
-
#12 Rage Against the Machinethat's pretty fair, but I can's stand Axl Rose...
-
#5 Guns n' RosesAxl is a trainwreck of a marginal human being, but he can fuckkn sing.
