I'm sorry but you're going to have to explain what that means. How could karaoke kill their music?
For me, not at the macro level. I can't handle listening to dudes get up and torture their music.
Still listen to Illusion I and about half of II regularly. The rest for some reason sounds out-dated.
Easy solution to your problem. If you see a sign at a bar that says 'Karaoke from 9-Close!', leave and go to another bar.
Problem solved.
If you are spending so much time listening to karaoke that it is ruining your favorite bands...that's a you problem.

this is tough
I am going with Civil War, One in a Million, Sweet Child O Mine
Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child would probably be considered the best 3 but you hear them so darn much. I think their first 4 (counting Illusions as 2) albums are up there with any rock band ever. They were all solid front to back with very few misses. Had they kept going, who knows.

Hard to go with just three. Still my go to band from my youth
1. Rocket Queen
2. You could be mine
3. Breakdown.
Mr. Brownstone could rotate in for any of those as well as pretty tied up.
When Izzy Stradlin left the band I followed his solo career for a bit. His first album, Izzy Stadlin and the Ju Ju Hounds, was quite enjoyable. No hits on it, not as "metal' as GnR, but a good listen.

Basically tune them out until Slash has a solo. Then crank it for ~1 min and tune back out. Very overrated band (IMO) outside of Slash.
There covers were good. I was fortunate to see them at CHA. Would have loved have seen them when they were no names on the LA music scene.
I was going to buy 'Live Like a Suicide' at a Tower Records one day in late '86 early '87 (before 'Welcome to the Jungle' came out) but bought a Hanoi Rocks LP instead. I could've been way ahead of the curve on GNR but instead became a lifelong fan of the fantastic but forgotten Hanoi Rocks. HR was the best rock-n-roll band of the 1980s IMO and I would've probably missed them had I grabbed the GNR EP. GNR was an absolute beast. I miss them all.
mr brownstone
rocket queen
mama kin
(if you don't call mama kin a gnr song, then i'd Its So Easy)
sorry, everything after appetite for destruction just wasn't great.
this is just off the top of my head - i'd maybe go edit this post later.

Overplayed but certainly not overrated. Appetite is one of the best rock albums of all time.
I really liked those early recordings and Move to the City as well.
Do yourself a favor and look up their first live MTV appearance in like 88 at the Roxy. Just pure energy and badassness (made that word up).
Like I said, IMO they are overrated. Could very likely be that part of my opinion of them is influenced by them being overplayed.
I also realize my musical tastes are far from something I would boast about. This morning on the way into work I listened to Soundgarden followed by Steve Winwood.
