We don't exactly have many to choose from lol 

They picked some absolutely garbage songs to cover lmao don't know what they were thinking with most of the choices 

Yep, I don't like any of the songs from The Spaghetti Incident. And them covering a song from Charles Manson himself was creepy, disturbing and a big no no. 🙄😒

[AlterL]

1) Chinese Democracy

2) Use Your Illusion II

3) Appetite for Destruction

4) Use Your Illusion I

5) the bunch of outtakes that have come out of the Chinese democracy sessions that didn't make it into Chinese SoG, Perhaps, Going Down, Atlas Shrugged, Oh My God, SilkWorms, Hardschool, Tommy Demmo N1, Eye On You, CitR with May, the Brain Mixes, etc.

6) Lies

7) Live Era

8) Appetite for Democracy 

9) Greatest Hits

10) TSI

[Sonic Reducer]

Unironically TSI might be one of the best cover albums of all time. The choice of songs is absurd, you got everything from doo-wop to the Dead Boys but they're all good. I fucking love Down on the Farm, Ain't if Fun, Human Being, Hair of the Dog, SIDHY, Raw Power, Black Leather.

Damn you guys giving high praise to The Spaghetti Incident got me to willingly listen to The Spaghetti Incident again and give it another try! 🤣 Damn you guys! 🤣

TSI could've been a really good EP, there's some good songs and the production is great. Ain't It Fun is one of Slash's finest moments, his tone is fantastic on that.

Totally agree, even though it's a cover, his tone/interuptation is incredible on AIF

Massive fan of TSI since its release. Axl's vocals are brilliant throughout as well, Human Being in particular. 

Love Slashs tone and playing on the album too.

I'm listening to Human Being right now just as you posted this post. 😏 Is that coincidence or ironic? 😏🤔

 Well, I finished listening to The Spaghetti Incident and it was not as bad as I remember it being. It's actually a solid album too. In fact, it might be better than Lies Album like multiple people pointed out on this thread. I listened to the entire Lies Album too just a couple of minutes ago. Lies still seems off to me whereas The Spaghetti Incident grew on me. There are only a couple of songs I don't like on The Spaghetti Incident whereas Lies I only like two songs on it. So The Spaghetti Incident is better than Lies Album IMHO.

UYI I

[3coloursbeige]

I think that Civil War, Yesterdays, and the five-in-a-row run of Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive, So Fine (works in context) and Estranged make UYI II their #1 album for me...obviously AFD and eve UYI I are more consistent...but I've never tired of those UYI II peaks...

[Uncle Bob]

Zimmer 483

[Karice]

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that I had insomnia when I first listened to The Spaghetti Incident? And didn't really give it a fair shake. I remember it being god awful.  Listened to it  again wide awake, and it's a really good album. 😏😃 Axl bleating like a sheep at the very end of Down On The Farm is hilarious and something I didn't know I needed to hear! 🤣😃😏 It kept me laughing at my job! 🤣😃😏 I just laughed right now as I write this, thinking of Axl's "Baa!" 😏😃🤣

 

If I Don't Have You is one of the best Guns N'Roses songs and I usually don't like their ballads. It's enthralling, captivating, soothing, good.

[MidnightRuMidnMidnight ner]

1. Appetite for Destruction - one of the best hard rock albums and one of the best rock debuts

2. Use Your Illusion II

3. Use Your Illusion I

4. Lies 

Not a fan of Spaghetti and CD in general, but some songs are fine. 

[Spaghetti4twenty]

1. Chinese Democracy 

2. UYI 2 then 1 

3. Appetite 

4. Lies 

 

 

 

5. SI (despite my username and image)

I think a lot of the album was Duff’s inspirations I think he talked about it a bit in his book

Putting Chinese Democracy as the favourite GN'R album is the modern equivalent to glueing hands to roads to make a statement. 

To answer the question, it really depends on the mood but generally it's UYI II.

In the Poster who chose Chinese Democracy as his favorite Guns N'Roses Album, Axl's voice had matured a lot and he sounded like a grown and mature man rather than the angsty, rebellious, wild, reckless,  teen vibe he was doing during the Appetite For Destruction Album

I guess at the end of the day it isn't a gnr album. 

_{its better} 

[hudsonsaul]

Currently:

AFD, TSI, LIES, CD, UYI1, UYI2. 

But I could make a banging mix of hard hitters mixing my favourites from each album:)

That's a whole other debate/topic. It's got Axl. It's got Dizzy who whilst not being an original band member has been there longer than anyone except Axl. And whether or not some agree with it, it did come out under the GN'R name.

It's not my favourite Guns album. But if you forget how long it took to make and who from the old band isn't on it, it's actually a pretty decent album.

Yep, CD is a good album. 😃 It's better than Lies that's for sure.
