21 - Guns and Roses Paradise City 1987

At the time of Guns N' Roses debut album Appetite For Destruction, the United States was knee deep in the glam rock scene. With one album Axl Rose and company redefined what it meant to be a bad ass band. Guns N' Roses paraded drugs, cheap sex, and violence to an extent that hadn't been seen since the high point of AC/DC in the early 1980's. "Paradise City" is the track that really broke Guns N' Roses into the mainstream. The song's incredible energy and some prime performances from Axl and Slash makes this epic an undeniable classic.
