([**Appetite for Destruction** poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=578728))

For me, it’s their slow, bluesy, acoustic take on “You’re Crazy”. Runners up would be “Used to Love Her” and “One in a Million” (a.k.a. the two most controversial songs on the album).

And yours?

The first 3 songs on this album always seemed out of place to me. They were actually from an old limited-release Guns N’ Roses EP called Live ?!\*@ Like a Suicide: [Live ?!\*@ Like a Suicide - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_%3F!*@_Like_a_Suicide)

Mama Kin is of course an Aerosmith cover. Reckless Life was from Axl’s days with LA Guns.

The 4 from Live Like a Suicide are completely blown out of contention by the 4 new (at the time) tracks, any of which I could reasonably vote for. Since I have to pick one… I think Patience is my winner, because it’s so much a departure from what a typical GNR song was at the time, really showed a different side, but still very awesome.
