And it's not close
I remember the first time I heard this song, someone talked the DJ to play it at one of my elementary school dances. I guess it was the first single GnR put out because I hadn't heard of them at the time, and it had only been on the air for maybe a week. I was floored by it. I remember some of the teachers and chaperons freaked out when it played. But that was the minute I decided to stop listening to the radio/one hit wonder crap that was on FM radio at the time, and started listening to GnR, Metallica, AC/DC, the heavier rock bands, and "hair" bands like Poison and Skid Row.

List is null and void with the inclusion of this awful song
Gold record says otherwise.
I'm not a fan of the song...like my post read, these are some of the 80's anthems.

I knew someone would have something to say about that. Yes, I know...it's metal. I realize Battery, Leper Messiah, Trapped Under Ice, Eye of the Beholder, etc. etc. are all metal. "One" is not a strictly metal song. Why else would MTV play it and it win their award? Metal and rock are often closely related. "One" became a mainstream hit. Of course, someone had to be uber-technical about it.

Metallica falls in the "in between" category IMO. Songs like Enter Sandman and Until it sleeps are more rock that metal i would say.

Why did you omit The Police? Every Breath You Take deserves mention.

I think Love Removal Machine was the big single from that album (maybe Fire Woman?).
Also, that first single from Love was watershed stuff....

Didn't we just have a thread nominating this for worst song of all time ?

some of you are deviating heavily from "Rock Single."
1a AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long
1b GNR Welcome to the Jungle
They're neck and neck IMO.
