I always lumped them with other hair bands like Poison but they seem to have inexplicably attained 'legendary' status over the last decade or so.

Axle is kind of an idiot but the talent and creativity of the band can't be denied. In an era of glam rock like Poison, Warrant, etc, GNR were true rock stars. The range from the raw and angry Appetite for Destruction to the calm melodies of GNR Lies shows of a band that is much more substance than style. Still to this day when one of their songs comes on and Slash gets into one of his classic solo's I just think to myself; "Damn these guys rocked." IMO one of the best rock bands of all time.
