You, sir, are wrong.
Nearly every track on Appetite for Destruction is better.
If you are choosing a song not on Appetite that isn't One in a Million, you're probably doing it wrong. I do feel bad that a song so racist and homophobic is so damn good. One in a Million would be my clear #1, but it's got so much baggage. In a way, that makes it an even better choice for the best G'nR song. What would they be without controversy?
But give me Mr. Brownstone. Or My Michelle. Or Rocket Queen. Or Out ta Get Me. Or Sweet Child O Mine. Or It's So Easy. Or Nighttrain... you get the idea.

The song is neither racist nor homophobic. The story - from the standpoint of its narrator - is one of marginalization and isolation. The message neither elevates whites to a position of superiority, nor condemns homosexuals/homosexuality. The "small town white boy" is expressing anger and uses offensive terms. The song is about recognizing and hearing that anger, without necessarily endorsing or approving the racist and homophobic undertones.
Just my humble opinion, as always.

This is the closest to filler that Appetite gets (apart from Anything Goes).
