G n'R - Use your Illusions - make your own cd out of 2

[Dan bach]

The last past week - I've been listening to Use your Illusions I & II

Both albums contain some good songs - but there is a lot of dross on there too ....

A bit of a concensus please - if I gave you a blank cdr - 80mins ...

What songs would you put on this 1 cd .........

This One

I like trucking, I like trucking,
I like trucking and I like to truck.
I like trucking, I like trucking,
If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

On the road, you must be brave and tireless,
On the road, you can listen to the wireless,
On the road, you eat café food with pride,
You can throw it up outside.

The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker,
Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker,
You're chatting up that piece of skirt who's sitting by your side,
Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride?

I like trucking, I like trucking,
I like trucking and I like to truck.
I like trucking, I like trucking,
If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

Perhaps the greatest laugh of all, that makes this life worthwhile,
Is waving on the car behind, giving him a smile,
With glasses and with gratitude, he revs his little load,
And meets another trucking truck, a-trucking down the road.

On the road, you must be tough and ruthless,
And the rumours that we're gay are truthless,
On the road, you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled,
You eat chocolate when it's cold.

From behind, we like to sneak up on you from behind,
Never mind, if you hit 'em never mind.

We like trucking, we like trucking,
We like trucking and we like to truck.
We like trucking, we like trucking,
If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

[Dan bach]

Thanks Dave, roll eyes .... this was a serious question.

[Sour Mash]

I actually did this a few years back and it was a damn killer CD.!

I'll route it out.....

Not bad. I'd include Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied Up, Garden of Eden and Get in the Ring (but remove the rant).

[DaveC]

For me I'd choose;

1. Live and Let Die
2. Don't Cry
3. Bad Obsession
4. Garden of Eden
5. Bad Apples
6. Dead Horse
7. Coma
8. Get in the Ring
9. Pretty Tied Up
10. You Could Be Mine

[daniel3786]

Not bad. I'd include Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied Up, Garden of Eden and Get in the Ring (but remove the rant).

I would too, but only 12 fit on one disk. Having those extra four would turn it into 2 disks.

Aah Come on. "You could be mine" is on UYI2. That's a cracking song, even if you don't like the rest of the UYI records..

Yes it is, I agree. But apart from that, I'll pass.

[daniel3786]

Did you like AFD?

[Gojira1975]

Did you like AFD?

Err. Yes. I did. I bought it when it came out.

It is better than both Use Your Illusion albums.

[daniel3786]

It is better than both Use Your Illusion albums.

It is more consistently satisfying than UYI's and one of the better debut albums of all time.

I do have a soft spot for UYI's though, mainly due Izzy singing on a few songs and Duff on one song and of course, November Rain and Estranged. Still hold up to this day, in spite of the muddy production - one of the main issues I have with the 2 disk albums.

Two disc albums have muddier production?
