lilacmess Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) I would have ranked Dust N' Bones and The Garden higher, but I like this list nonetheless. 🙂 Back in the day I loved Coma. I was 13 and listened on my headphones. And again. And again. And again. 😀 Edited March 24, 2022 by lilacmess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I can live with this. Makes voting for NR so many times more bearable. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Deserving. It's the most profound artist statement on the entire record imo. It may even be their magnum opus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I figured NR would win when this all started, so I'm glad to see Coma win. Also my personal favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildStar Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I reckon Guns playing Coma on the NITLT tour won it for Coma. It was definitely one of the highlights of the shows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged is the magnus opus. However, the fact GNR has 2-3 in such a short career is incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, those songs really show how incredibly good they were at writing and putting together something that makes sense untill the very end! And they made those songs well before they were 30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuld Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 So I could get behind Coma more if it didn’t have the doctor voices and other dumb voices and effects all over the song. It really detracts from what is a great song. Would love to hear it with all that edited out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that. But for me, Coma takes it due to the the complexity and subject matter. Izzy needed a chord chart just to play it live. Slash said the arrangement was so bizarre that it forced Axl out of his comfort zone. It's a semi-autobiographical take on Axl's attempted suicide as well. All of that surpasses Estranged (for me), which is complex as well (though not as much), but when you boil it down, is also just another break-up song, dealing with Erin again. I would agree that melodically, Estranged has the edge. Oh, and the video as well. I know it gets hate, but it's one hell of a spectacle. Almost a mini-movie. But apart from that, I'm sticking with Coma. Edited March 25, 2022 by Nintari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Axl’s voiceover at the end Breakdown too. I just want to listen to Slash’s solo lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
