Coma :: Guns n' Roses
Pretty much the only song I like off of Illusions I.

how could anyone not like November Rain, Don't Cry, or Live and Let Die
Ash Borer - Split with Fell Voices
This split was far and away one of the best metal releases of 2010 (note that the vinyl edition only came out this year; before it was only available on a super-limited cassette); both bands are among the best of the current crop of new black metal bands and both are at the peak of their powers on the track they contributed. I am currently ripping my vinyl copy, and it sounds glorious.
Eh, I just don't like both of those albums (although in a cruel twist of fate Locomotive is probably my favourite Gunners song). Granted, the songs you listed are alright, but I don't really listen to Guns and Roses for ballads, which is why I enjoy Appetite so much. I think that Chinese Democracy had a better assortment of 'ballad' songs, although I stand firm that Chinese Democracy is an album done by a completely different band that just had Axl Rose singing, nothing could sound less like old Guns n' Roses.
And every 5 posts be damned. I'm listening to;
Army of Me :: Bjork (feat Skunk Anise)
Utada Hikaru - FYI
Freezepop - Freezepop Forever
Haven't heard Freezepop in years; it's a nostalgia bomb.
Million Dead - Pornography for Cowards
Anybody who likes Frank Turner should check MD out because he was their vocalist. It's post-hardcore, as opposed to Frank's more folk oriented stuff currently, but he's consistently brilliant throughout.
@Noodle Boy, makes sense
Petrychor - Gamma Leonis
Ever since this band came out with its EP I've loved it. Tad Piecka (the sole member) has a really unique take on black metal that doesn't really sound like anything else out there; there's a lot of influence from post-rock and shoegaze, which isn't exactly uncommon in the genre, but he takes it in a completely different direction than is usually done. The EP is almost entirely in a major key, which is almost unheard of (the only other examples I can think of offhand are Drudkh's "Sunwheel" and some of Alcest's material) and the full-length album incorporates so many different influences it would be pointless to list them all. Yet he manages to pull this off without the material coming across as schizophrenic. My only complaint is that I wish he used less dynamic range compression in his mixes. Still, the album is definitely one of the highlights of this year so far and I can't wait for the vinyl release. And the guy can really play the guitar.
Tyler, the Creator - Tron Cat
The backlash I've seen for this album is a little overblown. I think it's actually pretty good, not as good as Earl Sweatshirt's album though.
Jellyfish swim by.
Nick Drake - Place to Be
Order Restored :: The New Regime
24 by Jem: Ultraviolet - Jem - YouTube
Panopticon - ..Seeing..
One of the best American black metal bands for sure, and On the Subject of Mortality is by far the most personal and emotional Panopticon release. And it sounds even better on vinyl. Flenser Records, as usual, did a great job.
A song from the upcoming best album of 2011

Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison
I like Kung-Fu.
