Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction (1987)
Album cover art - early release on the left, later on the right.
I have chosen this album as its got to be on of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
i first got in to this album 10 years ago when i got into music and i love it full of raw energy and classic rock tracks that define the late 80's. The production by david geffen is excellent
My vote is 10 out of 10, if your are into rock this is a must album for any collection.
I have also learnt to play a few numbers from this album on the drums and its a good start for any starting musicians. I do prefer it on vinyl as its just awesome.
Have a listen lads - i'm sure you will like this one but all down to choice.
