More rockin’ nostalgia! To celebrate this summer’s 20th Anniversary of Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction, I wanted to put together a compilation of covers like Hypeful did for OK Computer. Midway through collecting covers of Destruction tracks, however, I discovered what can only be described as a major deficiency of good Destruction covers.

Instead of listening to poor Axl karaoke, I thought Hypeful readers might enjoy a dozen guns/roses-themed tracks to bring you to your shun-nah-nah-nah-nah knees!!!

MP3s:
The Alarmists - “Hired Gun”
Andrew Bird - “Honeysuckle Rose”
Beirut - “Elephant Gun”
Elvis Costello - “Good Year For The Roses”
Final Fantasy - “Flare Gun”
The Spinto Band - “Kiss From A Rose”
MIA - “Bucky Done Gun”
Sufjan Stevens - “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming”
Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - “God Gave Me A Gun”
Tom Petty - “The Golden Rose”
Stars - “Celebration Guns”
Whiskeytown - “Somebody Remembers the Rose”
