kicking off your posting with a GnR song is not bad
Hot take, it's actually one of the weakest on the album
What would be your best?
Rocket Queen would be up there, with sweet child it’s the kick ass guitar solo and opening riff that makes that songMan my older teenage years were defind by GNR and weirdly I couldn’t stand them when I first heard them.
Felt like it took forever for the Use your Illusion albums to come out
Rocket Queen* is awesome, so is Sweet Child O Mine, My Michelle and The Nightrain are probably my least favourite ... The Nightrain especially sounds like it could have been from any other band.
I haven't listened to the Use Your Illusions since the 90s.
*TBH, the stuff teenage boys always go on about with Rocket Queen, the moans at end, I actually think are the shittiest part of the song, and stop it from being perfect.

Out ta Get Me is my fav
then Nightrain
Then Mr Brownstone -
I could play Rocket Queen, Paradise City, Nighttrain all day, occasionally interspersed with My Michelle, Jungle and Mr Brownstone.
There's no really weak tracks on what is the best debut album, ever.

Paradise City, shit why did u forget that one?
Mr Brownstone is awesome.. it’s just one of best rock albums ever.
Plenty of great songs in Illusion 1 and 2 but also too many fillers, way too ambitious with them I think
Paradise City is one of my favourite driving (alone) songs. Along with Money for Nothing (Full Version) and Free Bird.
I can ruin my hearing when those songs come on

@Hooroo god i hate Lynyrd Skynyrd
I'm just a fan of the one song

Freebird is a bit like November Rain, Smoke on the Water, Epic, Under the Bridge, Stairway to Heaven etc. It's the signature song from a band that you grow to absolutely despise over time.....as I pretty much do with all those listed despite otherwise loving the bands other less famous works.
THIS song is cool though, fair to say there were a few future Trump voters in the audience.

Totally agree although most of the above songs remain to bands I like.
I'm a real late bloomer towards Led Zep. Used to hate them, including Stairway to heaven, but now I find myself listening to more and more of them and one song has probably encroached into my top 10, that being Misty Mountain Hop

I'll go to my grave saying Zep are the greatest overall Rock band of all time. All brilliant individuals but together they were just something else.

So much of their lesser popular stuff is great.
The missus's ute has The Sound as the radio station of choice and in May, every weekend they did 3 in a row all day. So if it was Led Zep they would do three and they always did two well or relatively well known songs and one lesser known. It was great as they play a lot of Led Zep and all those older bands. A lot of the Doors too which I have always liked.

Love Led Zep, very indifferent to Stairway

I'll never agree more with any of your posts like I do this one.
I'd rank Jimmy Page as "only" the 4th best guitarist of that era but in terms of listenablity he shits on the other three.
The chemistry the band had was out of this world.
The Doors were an awesome band too, particularly Jim Morrison as a frontman and Ray Manzareks keys playing.

for all my indifference to Stairway, my favourite Zeppelin song is the equally self-indulgent "Kashmir"

Probably mine too.
A quick ( anything to avoid paperwork ) top ten Zep songs for me would be.....
Kashmir
Black Dog
Over the Hills and Far Away
The Rain Song
Dazed and Confused
Trampled Underfoot
No Quarter
Song Remains the Same
What is and what should never be
Ramble On -
Immigrant Song and Rock and Roll for me

yep, two bangers that I didn't think of but deserve a spot.

@voodoo here it is for his for hers for better for worse....
I love that band. Saw them live 8 years ago with Crowded house. They stole the show
With Che Fu? That would have been awesome. Last saw them live at whatever the Waikato Uni pub was called back in the day.
