Guns N Roses
"Civil War"

Released in 1991

Guns N'Roses was one of the biggest bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Los Angeles band's rise and fall was something you really had to experience to understand. As hectic as that period was for the band, they released some incredible music - this track being among their best.

Guns N' Roses was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
