No. 2 great covers and I really like Civil War and You Could Be Mine as GnR singles, but those 14 are not as good, as a unit, as Appetite, IMHO.
Music is subjective, but it is what it is.

No song on UYI would have even sniffed being on Appetite. Coma & Don't Cry are the only 2 great songs on UYI.

Don't Cry was pretty much my favorite song when it came out, then when the alt lyrics were introduced, I was pissed. I'm glad they didn't seem to stick.

My probably unpopular take on UYI:
1. If those songs were made by any other band at any other time without the ridiculous sight-unseen sales that those albums had when they were released, they would be listened to once (maybe even just halfway through), discarded and never revisited again. Personally, I didn't allow the mere name of the band to add undue significance and that's pretty much how those songs played out for me.
2. If you wanted to create a prototype for garish, ostentatiously horrible taste in rock music it would be hard to find anything more representative of that than November Rain.
