rockerman Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 10. Guns & Roses - 'Use Your Illusion 1 and 2'These are technically two different albums, but since they were released on the same side they are widely seen as a double album. Even most hardcore Guns N' Roses fans admit that it's bloated and all over the place, but the high points ("November Rain," "Civil War," "You Could Be Mine" "Don't Cry") rank among the best work the band ever did. The original group split after a long tour supporting the disc, and Axl Rose has made it quite clear that he will never again share a stage with Slash. GNR are eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, so the world will finally be able to call his bluff.Damn there were some shit bands in front of GNR.. what fuck are people on???

It's the bands that defined the 90's. Although Smashing Pumpkins x2 wasn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Smashing Pumpkins got in twice? Hell yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changes Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oasis was more deserving of two albums on the list I think. Definitely Maybe is crazy good! Listening to Supersonic as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duff_rose Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oasis was more deserving of two albums on the list I think. Definitely Maybe is crazy good! Listening to Supersonic as we speak.Yep. Definitely Maybe should have replaced one of the Pumpkins' albums on that list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastodonny Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 No Alice In Chains-Dirt? No Soundgarden?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 So this was voted by the readers?Should we be surprised they're all rock albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 ^ I'd too put RATMs debut in there, it's more relistenable than AFD, IMO.Also, The Downward Spiral would be on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Riggs Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Don't really get the complaints as IT IS A voting by readers poll....nobody sat back and tried to formulate a list hitting all the right bases...With that said, UYI stripped down to one album beats every other album on the list.

Shooting Star Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 No Alice In Chains-Dirt? No Soundgarden??+1 WTF?!!BTW, GNR should have been ranked higher IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeryen Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Funny, the only albums I'd like to listen to from those albums are the U2 one, pumpkins/mellon collie, Radiohead/Ok Computer, and of course I would go through Axl 'n Roses video compilation. Although I respect Nirvana/nevermind wouldnt like to listen to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The Smashing Pumpkins being in there twice is just plain redundant compared to the res of the albums from the 90's. To be fair, it was based on votes from readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandyk Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That list is why I hate the 90s. If it wasnt grunge or UYI it was shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Way to ignore hip hop completely indeed.They're only singing up the albums they sang up in the first place, "Nevermind's importance is overstated somewhat" or whatever, yeah, cuz of magazines like Rolling fuckin Stone.

SunnyDRE Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Oasis was more deserving of two albums on the list I think. Definitely Maybe is crazy good! Listening to Supersonic as we speak.I know that the poll wasn't country specific, but DM wasn't that big in the US. No shocker that it didn't make the cut.Great record though.The Smashing Pumpkins being in there twice is just plain redundant compared to the res of the albums from the 90's. What about albums like Rage Against The Machine, Californication or Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Fuck, even The Slim Shady LP made quite the impact.Maybe Zooropa, Shake Your Money Maker, Innuendo, Jagged Little Pill... Ok, maybe these last few weren't *that* huge, but they certainly made a similar impact than the average Pumpkins album.Oasis was more deserving of two albums on the list I think. Definitely Maybe is crazy good! Listening to Supersonic as we speak.Also true.Are you saying that jagged little pill wasn't a huge album?No, I wasn't. I know it was huge. But I'm not sure it's in the same league as RATM's debut or Californiication. Aside from that yes it's one of the biggest albums of the 90's.It's in the same league. JLP is a great record.The follow up was one the most anticipated records in along time.Oh, and while I don't agree with the Pumpkins placing two albums on the list (I don't really like Siamese Dream), both of those records were huge.
