Today, on Axl's 58th birthday, I give you my Top 3 GNR songs.

#3 - "Welcome To The Jungle" Yes, it's overplayed. Yes, you've heard it a million times. It's the first song I ever heard from the band. To this day I still remember exactly where I was when I heard the first couple notes to intro the song. Such a kick-ass introduction the band...therefore, one of my faves.

#2 - "There Was A Time" I'll admit, I really like the 'Chinese Democracy' album. I feel it's one of the most underrated albums of all time. As far as I'm concerned, maybe the best vocal performance Axl has ever laid on a track. Absolutely killer all the way around.

#1 - "November Rain" I don't know, there's just so much that goes along with this song that I like. The "epic-ness" of it. An amazing video. The conceptuality of the song. Slash's guitar work. I know it's a little on the softer side, but it's just one of those songs I feel I have to listen through every time.

Of course, I love "Rocket Queen", "Estranged", and on and on. Can't wait to see the guys again this summer!
