SunnyDRE Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) I was browsing through a couple of old Rollingstone Magazines yesterday, and I saw a very intresting fact (at least in my mind); GNR's Appetite and U2's Joshusa Tree were the best-selling albums released that year.So which do you guys think are better.-Both albums are considered the bands definitive work, by most ( No disrecpect to Achtung Baby fans).-Both albums consistenly show up on "Best of Lists" and have songs that are still played on the radio even today.Which do you prefer?

How many people on a damn Guns N' Roses forum are you actually expecting to tell you that The Joshua Tree is better than Appetite for Destruction????????

gnrrulz Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'm going to have to go with Joshua Tree. With or Without YouStill Haven't Found What I'm Looking ForWhere the Streets Have no NameIts a hard choice to make but with both bands at their best musically, U2 would be my choice.

wasted Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) I can't actually listen to a U2 album.I like certain songs, I try to anyway.Like City of Blinding Light is great but the whole album is a drag.AFD all the way.In fact records that come close to AFD - Exile on Main Street, Angel Dust, Pump, The Fragile, Southern Harmony, Generation Terrorists.And Axl is in the process of making an album better than all these records right now.

Turn_It_Up Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Appetite for sure...but like Appetite with GNR, Joshua Tree is still easily that band's crowning achievement, IMO. A phenominal album start to finish.2 exceptional records... Edited April 30, 2008 by Turn_It_Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathalie92 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Im a huge fan of U.2, i love both albums but if i have to choose 1 it would be Appetite, its a masterpiece and it means so much more to me than Joshua.

Downinahole Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 you know the answers as this is a gnr fan site lol Joshua tree is sooo fucking boring after the 1st four songs it just sends me asleep. compare UYI to Achtung baby then that maybe it wuold be a harder question to answer. AFD all the way tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Where the Streets Have No Name shits all over any song from AFD, but that's where it ends. AFD is a blast all the way through, while listening to TJT makes me feel like I'm trawling through mud.Thank God for Achtung Baby, though!
