Notes:
--20200123--
First listen.
Ah. This immediately reminds me of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii).

3: "Welcome to the Jungle"; "Sweet Child O' Mine";
2: "Paradise City"; "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (Bob Dylan cover);
1: "Live and Let Die" (Paul McCartney & Wings cover); "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones cover);

Summary:
I happened to like four of the compilation's first five songs because I had heard them many times before - though one is a Bob Dylan cover. In any case, my opinion of the compilation dropped off after that point because I hadn't heard the songs and/or didn't particularly like the sound of them.

Overall Rating: 3.4/5
Favorite Song: "Sweet Child O' Mine"
