Well Appetite was the great one. And, if I'm not mistaken, there were a couple of good tracks on Use you Illusion I, II. I actually didn't listen much after they started getting too overblown (imo).

Well Appetite was the great one.
It is just hard to follow a legendary album like that.
Illusion I and II were overplayed, true, but are amongst the greatest rock ballad albums of the 90's.
Here's a stat for you:
6 albums- 39x Platinum
All six made it in the top 4 for the year they were released. Spaghetti peaked the lowest at 4.
Rush's stats:
20 albums- 15x Platinum
13 of 20 finish in the top 4 for the year released. . .in Canada. Only 4 of 20 got in the top 4 in the US.
Rush is a great band. . .but GnR was just better.
Rush gets props for longevity, though.

Now, let me say that album sales and the resulting Chart position does not, by definition, mean that the band is great. . .
It is called the Hall of Fame, and GnR is one of the most famous bands of all time.

To be FAIR... IMO. Bostons 1st album is better than ANYTHING GNR did.

I will post here to defend not the idea of the HOF or its inductees, but the museum itself.
If you are a music fan, it is worth a trip there. The exhibits are well done. You will see incredible stuff and get a real sense of the history and connectedness of modern music. It is a very well done museum.
Go during baseball season and see a game (Jacobs Field is one of the best parks.)
The NFL HOF in Canton is only like an hour away, and also well worth the trip.
Don't hate on Cleveland, it aint so bad

I do want to see the museum. I just don't care much about who is inducted. The museum sounds great.
