I'd say GNR comes in at a solid #286 on the all-time band-list.

I was a HUGE GNFNR fan growing up. I still listen to their music all the time.

Best ever? I can't say that though. They had the potential to make music that evolved with the times, which is key to longevity. The Illusion albums were head and shoulders more impressive than Appetite was, it was a retarded business move to release both CDs at the same time though. They could have stayed on the map much longer had they released the albums three years apart. Nonetheless, the turmoil within the band that stifled the creative process and eventually broke them up probably kept them from being the type of band that could last 25 years. They'd probably still be going strong today...

To be considered the best band ever the band has to have withstood the test of time. Like the Rolling Stones, or say Metallica (although I detest their music) for example, flourishing for 20 + years in todays music industry is an astonishing feat.

Just my take
