What about the early motown stuff where they tried to make him another Ray Charles simply because he was black and blind | |

Use Your Illusion is better than Appetite For Destruction.
Seriously? Appetite For Destruction has atleast eight exceptional songs; Welcome To The Jungle, Nightrain, Mr Brownstone, Paradice City, My Michelle, Think About You, Sweet Child O' Mine & Rocket Queen (+ It's So easy)
I definitely need to check out then | |

For me to! and i'm a huge GNR fan.
It has GNR doing country, gospel, classical, straight up hard rock & metal. It had the best writing Axl & the group has ever done.
Also Axl gets to stretch his voice a lot more over the 2 records!, and the band was driven to the best of the abilities on it Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

True, but i felt there was still a lot of soul & great work going on there.
The late 80's period was just sappy stuff Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

I dug it. I could've added it to the underrated category but Older's music was richer actually. I especially loved "Through" from Patience... | |

Patience was good. The singles were just as good as stuff on Older, LWP, and Faith, other than the singles though I find many of the songs boring. My favorites are Flawless, American Angel, and John And Elvis Are Dead | |
