Top Ten Best Guns N' Roses Albums

The Top Ten
1 Appetite for Destruction

Appetite for Destruction is a perfect introduction for newcomers to Guns N' Roses. This album is a true masterpiece. As a die-hard Guns N' Roses fan, Appetite for Destruction is number one, and the Illusion records are at number two. This album is a prime example of life in the slums and downtown L.A.

It is an excellent introduction to Guns N' Roses. This is "THE ALBUM" of Guns N' Roses, with all of their best songs on this album. Strongly recommend getting this album if you love Guns N' Roses as much as I do. Appetite for Destruction is number one, and the Illusion albums are number two.

2 Use Your Illusion II

'Appetite For Destruction' was pure hard rock. But the thing is that it was ONLY hard rock. As Axl said, Guns N' Roses wanted to put the hard stuff out first. 'Use Your Illusion I' was also very hard rock except for songs like 'November Rain' and 'Don't Cry.'

It's 'Use Your Illusion II' that showcases Guns N' Roses' diversity in creating music. That album has emotions like no other, such as the sadness in 'Estranged' or the anger in 'Get In The Ring.' It's artistic and slightly experimental. Songs like 'Locomotive' and 'Civil War' can only be found in UYI2. That's why it's my favorite and, in my opinion, the BEST album Guns N' Roses have ever created.

3 Use Your Illusion I

It kicks ass and had so many possible singles. If Use Your Illusion I had been released as two separate albums, they would have scored twice the chart success. You can only have so many singles per album. Perfect Crime, Bad Apples, Bad Obsession. I could go on.

'Double Talkin' Jive,' 'November Rain,' 'Don't Cry,' 'Dust N' Bones,' 'Right Next Door to Hell,' 'Garden of Eden,' 'Coma,' all amazing songs on UYI1. It's just awesome. I got nothing else to say, just awesome.

Appetite for Destruction deserves #1, but in my opinion, this should be second. 'November Rain' for me is the best GnR song, and there are many other greats on this album.

4 GN'R Lies

Amazing album. Izzy Stradlin's songwriting on 'Patience' alone should make this top three with Appetite. Lies is something of an extension of Appetite for Destruction with tracks from before and after Appetite. Tracks like 'Mama Kin' and 'Used to Love Her' are always forgotten and underrated.

There are no bad songs on this album, and it also has the original five members. It's better than the Illusions.

This should be number two, behind Appetite for Destruction.

5 Greatest Hits

This is the greatest hits album of the band that we know and love. It's a perfect introduction for newcomers to Guns N' Roses. This is a true masterpiece and very well should be number one of the best Guns N' Roses albums of all time.

Get this one instead of any of their studio albums. Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits is very deserved at number one, with Appetite for Destruction at number two, followed by the Illusion records at number three.

This greatest hits album of the band that we know and love has all of their best songs from all of their albums. So, buy this album instead of buying any of the other albums. It is a true masterpiece and should be number one of the best Guns N' Roses albums of all time.

6 The Spaghetti Incident?

This actually has a lot of great songs. Highlights are 'Since I Don't Have You,' 'Down on the Farm,' Duff McKagan sings on 'Attitude,' 'You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory,' and 'New Rose.'

7 Chinese Democracy

Imagine this. It's 1963 and The Beatles just released their debut album "Please, Please Me." No doubt a classic. Then nothing happens for another six years until they resurface looking nearly unrecognizable, and their second album is "Abbey Road."

Because people had time to acclimate to their meteoric progression, it's now remembered as a classic. However, if it had gone the way I just described, everyone would have thought it was garbage. Just take that into consideration next time you listen to Chinese Democracy.

No question, it only trails second behind Appetite, and that's not by a large margin. This is just a different album from a musician who has grown out of his old skin. Nothing more. The talent is still there.

8 Live Era '87-'93

Fantastic live album, has all of Guns' best songs all live, and they were at their best live. Brilliant.

9 Live Like A Suicide

This one owns Appetite. Well, I also like Appetite.

10 The "Civil War" EP

The expanded version of all the songs in 'Civil War.' One of the best expanded versions of Guns N' Roses songs.
