re: Spinoff: 12 best songs off the Use Your Illusion albums - Good as Appetite?

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.
