The Year: 1986
Guns N’ Roses signed with Geffen Records, a deal that would change rock history. Geffen didn’t just task themselves with getting the band to record an album—they had to keep these wild souls alive and out of jail, no small feat. Their efforts paid off big time when Appetite for Destruction dropped, selling over 18 million copies in the U.S. alone. Chaos met genius, and the rest is legend.
