Glam metal and pop music dominated the airwaves throughout the 80s. That changed in 1987 when Guns N' Roses released their debut album, Appetite For Destruction. The opening track, Welcome to the Jungle, took you on a journey through the underworld of L.A. which included sex, drugs, love, anger, paranoia, and the struggles of making it in the L.A. rock scene. This album didn't go straight to the top, however. No, it worked its way up for about a year. On July 23, 1988, Appetite For Destruction topped the charts. Overall, I would give this album a 9. It changed the course of 80s rock and stopped glam metal from completely taking over the airwaves. Appetite For Destruction is clearly one of the best albums in the history in rock n' roll.
