Right Next Door to Hell, kickass opener.
Back Off Bitch
Don't Damn Me, one of the best
Dead Horse, lovely tune
Coma, kickass through and through
Locomotive (great epic)
So Fine (addictive)

Left out: Bad Obsession, The Garden but just because Alice Cooper guests, and 14 Years / Yesterdays. Also Get in the Ring deserves a mention for how outrageous it is :D

Of these picks, I went with:

1. Coma (the whole thing is amazing, but the lyrics and intensity of the last few minutes are unrivaled in their repertoire)
2. Breakdown (one of the best GnR songs ever with some of their best lyrics, and a very cool vibe from start to finish)
3. Back Off Bitch (excellent riff, excellent vocals, excellent solo)
4. Dead Horse (love the lyrics to this one)
5. Yesterdays (just a lovely little song that nails what I love about GnR's less heavy side)
6. Get In The Ring (the cockiest, most shit talking rock song around, and despite how over the top and silly it is, it somehow works - I love this)
7. Dust N' Bones (this was tied with The Garden, Don't Damn Me, and Bad Apples, but I had to give it to DnB by a hair for the cool vibe it has)

From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

I'm an idiot. I didn't even pay attention to Locomotive on that list. I would have that somewhere in mine but I already voted. Crap.

That song has some outstanding lyrics, some of my favorites...

I'm surprised at the many votes for Double Talkin' Jive. Maybe I just remember bad the song or I never connected with hit, but it always felt to me like a random song thrown together just because, with  a weird structure and random lyrics. I don't like to use the term "filler" 'cause I know that "real" fillers are songs from the vinyl days written for an otherwise too much short album, but.... this song is what I would call a filler if I ever use the term.
