Use Your Illusion 1 vs Use Your Illusion 2

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Which one do you think is better?

The best that Use Your Illusion 1 had to offer:
Dust and Bones
Don't Cry (version 1 - Original lyrics)
Double Talkin' Jive (One of their best songs IMO. Talk about nailing a groove and a riff)
November Rain
Songs that are good but not up to par with the above (IMO):
Right Next Door to Hell
Don't Damn Me
Dead Horse

*I never thought the Paul McCarty cover was great.

The Best that Use Your Illusion 2 had to offer:
Civil War (Slash's solos are outstanding on this one - classic song)
Yesterdays (classic song)
Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Is one of my favourite covers by any band; first time I heard on that live at the Ritz show)
Breakdown (Very underrated song; everything about it flows)
Estranged
You Could Be Mine
Don't Cry (Version 2 Alternate lyrics)
Songs that are good but not up to par with the above (IMO):
Shotgun Blues
So Fine

Favourite song from UYI 1
Double Talkin' Jive


Favourite song from UYI 2:
Estranged


So IMO I think that Use Your Illusion 2 was the better album. It is just more pleasing to listen to from start to finish.

UYI 1 - had the more popular but not better (IMO) epic song with November Rain.

The two Don't Cry versions just cancel each other out.

So that leaves the rest. Double Talkin' Jive is a great fucking song but 2 great songs are not equal to the very best of UYI 2 which is pretty much as strong as it gets.

If I could make a poll I would but anyhow. Trying to kill time as the days are starting really get linger.

What is your opinion Jukebox?
