S1
1. Locomotive
2. Pretty Tied Up
3. Dead Horse
4. LALD
5. Nov Rain
S2
1. YCBM
2. Don't Cry (Alt)
3. KOHD
4. Estranged
5. Coma
Yeah, UYI has aged badly. I arranged the album like vinyl or tape so that the lack of songs isn't so evident
I think that's the core group of decent tracks, IMO. Once you start adding others the album gets weaker. You could argue for replacing Dead Horse with another rocker, but I think this is as close to an AFD beater as I can muster. At least it would sound like the same band

I'm actually making a cd for a guy I work with who is in his early 40s, and was listening to other music when GNR hit the scene - so he never got into them. I wont be putting on only Illusion tracks, I'll also be including Nightrain and Rocket Queen from AFD, and perhaps the acoustic version of You're Crazy from Lies - but the task of choosing Illusion songs to fill out the cd is going to be a vigorous one, because I feel every song on the Illusions has it's rightful place, and sits where it belongs. (ok, My World was a mistake, but that's irrelevant.)
(And Yeah, Get in the Ring is pretty cheesy, but it's got a killer blues vibe)

6 for Bad Apples. By any other band would have been a classic but GnR have many way better songs. Great solo and cool chorus though.
Incidentally I don't know why people always say AFD is way better than the Illusions. Take Illusions as just a straightforward rock album and you get
1. Right Next Door To Hell
2. Dust N' Bones
3. Bad Obsession
4. Back Off Bitch
5. Double Talkin' Jive (amazing solo)
6. Don't Damn Me
7. Dead Horse
8. 14 Years
9. Get In The Ring (killer intro and great simple rocker despite what lots of people say)
10. Pretty Tied Up
11. Locomotive
12. You Could Be Mine
You Could Be Mine, Locomotive, Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years, Don't Damn Me and Bad Obsession would be good enough to make Appetite. Track for track that list is as consistent as AFD although it lacks the classic songs like PC and SCOM. But add in the epics Estranged, November Rain, Coma, Civil War and also the power ballad Don't Cry and these albums are clearly better than AFD.
I mean look at Bad Apples above. That's better than a couple of the weaker songs of Appetite and still wouldn't get close to a UYI best of.

Bad Apples - 4 / 10.
----
my list
----
1. You Could Be Mine (without that final drum ending)
2. Back Off Bitch
3. 14 Years
4. Coma (without that final drum ending)
5. Right Next Door to Hell
6. Yesterdays
7. November Rain
8. Garden of Eden
9. Don't Damn Me
10. Pretty Tied Up
11. Estranged
12. Don't Cry
13. Civil War
^^ That album flows so well.? It starts off strong, and ends even stronger.. I love it.? I don't think it's an AFD killer, but it's a great album none the less.
I agree. Civil War as the closer sounds great to me.
It is. Civil War makes a great opener or a great closer.. I doesn't feel right to me on the GH cd because of that either.
It's just so powerful, and has an amazing opening and an amazing ending.

I'll continue this project for those that are interested.
Bad Apples - Final rating : 6.17
Next song - 14 Years
For me a very catchy song, love Axls heartfelt gutwrenching wailing during the chorus.
Reminds me how well Guns mixed piano and guitars well before Evanescence became popular with teenyboppers.
8/10.
I'm getting old, 30 today too

When I first got my hands on the UYIs, 14 years was my favorite song by a long way. I already had the YCBM single, and had heard Back off Bitch, KOHD and November Rain on a bootleg.
I would give 14 years an 8/10 as well.

9/10 for 14 Years. Another amazing solo, so melodic and rockin. Great sing along lyrics. Cool drum intro, reminds me of Moby Dick. I read somewhere that Axl said both he and Izzy had written different songs both called 14 Years, so they put them together to make one song. Seems a bit far-fetched though.

I'd give 14 Years an 8.5. It's a really good song.

Only song I would drop from UYI would be My World and that's why you can't make one cd out of them imo

I think it`s a great idea to let the boardmembers rate the songs.

Don't think there were given characters in the the other thread about the same ting?
Col, if we can rate each song, then we can decide much better...
I'll give 14 years 8.5/10

2 main reasons why one UYI doesn't work: (1) too many long songs, you can't have NR, Estranged, Coma, Locomotive, Breakdown and Civil War on one album, but none of them can be cut! (2) Songs like 14 Years would have had to be cut.
Still, it's a cool track and one of my favourite Izzy songs. 8/10

14 Years - Not a big fan of it. I don't have anything in particular against it, it just never struck me as a great song, but I know I'm in the minority. A little too much of a "downer" for me, but I do like the mix of piano/guitars and Axl's chorus. 6/10.

This is always damn hard, mine changes every time. Here it goes
1. Right Next Door To Hell
2. Bad Obsession
3. Locomotive
4. Don't Cry
5. Perfect Crime
6. Civil War
7. November Rain
8. Garden Of Eden
9. You Could Be Mine
10. Estranged
11. Don't Damn Me
12. Coma
The best idea though is just to keep the two albums and replace some of the filler songs like You Ain't The First with songs that got left off like Crash Diet
