Last week, in the midst of Chinese Democracy mania, we asked our readers to delve into the Guns N’ Roses catalog and tell us their favorite tracks. We counted the entries, and the Use Your Illusion II centerpiece “Estranged” topped two other GNR epics for top billing. All of the classics are included, plus a handful of tunes on the Chinese Democracy track list. Check out the top 20 and keep scrolling for the classic video trilogy from Use Your Illusion, featuring lingerie models, a helicopter, Slash playing solos everywhere, dolphins, Shannon Hoon and a whole lot of delightful nonsense.

1. “Estranged”
2. “November Rain”
3. “Coma”
4. “Rocket Queen”
5. “Welcome to the Jungle”
6. “Better”
7. “Sweet Child O’ Mine”
8. “Paradise City”
9. “Civil War”
10. “Don’t Cry”
11. “Mr. Brownstone”
12. “Patience”
13. “Locomotive”
14. “You Could Be Mine”
15. “One In a Million”
16. “Breakdown”
17. “There Was A Time”
18. “Dead Horse”
19. “Shackler’s Revenge”
20. “Yesterdays”

What about “Nightrain” !!!

Nuno | 10/21/2008, 11:22 am EST

guns and roses.. what else?
i say: they are the best

Mundo Mojo | 10/21/2008, 12:55 pm EST

They were the best, today there is no Guns N Roses, just a legal formalism.

I’m looking forwad to buying the new album…but it won’t be the real GNR

John | 10/21/2008, 1:25 pm EST

Seriously, “What about ‘Nightrain’!!” is right. How did that not make the cut but Shackler’s Revenge did. I’m sensing some Rock Band bias on that choice.

I agree with you guys – Nightrain should’ve made it to the top 20!

Rock on!

I am also quite surprised that “Nightrain” did not make the top 20.

Snak3Hips | 1/8/2009, 10:09 am EST

im surprised that november rain wasnt first…

SLASHGNR | 2/2/2009, 5:07 pm EST

alright. wow. this is a bad listing order. Where is Nightrain? and none of the new songs should be there. Guns N Roses is no good without Slash, Duff, and Izzy. The old GNR were the best and nothing can beat them.

Dude Man | 5/16/2009, 4:45 pm EST

These songs should have made the list:
“My Michelle”
“Live and Let Die”(Wings cover)
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”(Bob Dylan cover)
“Nightrain”
And “Sweet Child O’Mine” should be number one.

it pisses me off that Axl is making techno…. when slash was in the band they truly were one of the best bands on the face of this earth,,, they made beautiful music!Night train is one of my favourite songs to play on guitar and it should’ve been up there! biased rock band i agree with!

good fan | 9/9/2009, 1:18 pm EST

Dont get me wrong that axl is a great singer some of gnr songs wouldnt be half as good without his voice but there should not be 1 single chinese democracy song on the list also “Nightrain” on of the greatest songs in gnr history “It’s so Easy” and “Out to Get Me” also “14 Years” list could be better but ok
