Thanks to those who reported my threads to the mods I am allowed to do a single thread for all albums..... but we will continue in a step by step fashion so just keep checking the thread to see when a poll is concluded and when the next starts

these are the songs that made the cut from CD and TSI: Ain't It Fun, Better, Black Leather, Catcher in the Rye, Down on the Farm, Hair of the Dog, Human Being, Madagascar, Prostitute, Raw Power, Shackler's Revenge, Since I Don't Have You, Sorry, There Was a Time.

we left of with UYI 2, the vote is still active and 22 people have voted so far

here are the temporary results:

1. Civil War - 3

2. Estranged - 3,13

3. You Could Be Mine - 3,45

I can't believe songs like So Fine, Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years and Don't Cry are behind a crap song like Yesterdays.

Yesterdays is a damn good song So Fine blows chunks one of the weakest song on UYIs Duff`s songwiting skills seriously suck

The bass and drums in it are among the best they ever did and I love the melody. It's the multi layers of lead vocals or whatever it is Axl did that makes the vocals suck to me.

To me it is the lead guitar, the rumbling, heavy riff that goes through the song, and the amazing lyrics that does the song. I like the layered vocals, it makes the chorus a lot heavier.

I suppose there's a reason you like CD and I don't. <_< I'm not too fond of overproduced stuff.

I love the guitars as well, by the way.

Locomotive would have been one of their best songs if Axl hadn't fucked up the vocals. He's the weak link in that song.

I agree. And you know I love 'So fine' as well. I think it's a great song :thumbsup:

It's hard to say "I like CD", because it contains both the best of GN'R (There Was A Time, Better) and the worst (This I Love, If The World). To say I am ambivalent is an understatement. It is better to say I both love it and hate it.

Locomotive is perfect the way it is Axl`s top notch lyrics, Slash`s heavy boan crunching riffing, Duff`s groovy bass, Matt`s hard hitting drums hell I even like Dizzy`s piano outro it`s fucking gorgeous it lacks Izzy`s parts but it`s still fantastic song Funk Metal jaggernaut
