Whoever voted "Better" is out of their damn mind

Right on, brother. Bill Hicks is a personal hero. Such a tragedy. In another world, he could've filled stadiums alongside Dice, but he told too much truth. You couldn't bottle him as a commodity to sell to the masses. At least not in his own lifetime. Hicks was the consummate comedian's comedian.

16 tracks. 78 mins. One disc. No AFD. And somewhat different than the same disc I'd have made, say, five years ago. Was fun but hard to make.

Man, I'd love to contribute to this. I've made GN'R "best ofs" that I've gifted to people. I rarely include much if anything from Appetite. It's a classic album, but it's played the fuck out like a Jheri curl. I've heard it enough. I've heard its anthems enough. I've always, always preferred the Illusions as my favorite GN'R album. As time goes by, I discover more and more about the Illusions that keeps me coming back, and less and less about Appetite that whets my interest. I love TSI. I love GN'R Lies. I'm just not beholden to the Church of Appetite like the rest of the world, so I usually avoid sharing what I personally would track as a "best of" as a result. My "best of" is my own personal opinion based on my own wider, admittedly avant-garde taste in music. Telling other GN'R fans I could probably do without ever, ever hearing WTTJ or SCOM or Paradise City again tends to result in ridicule and hurt feelings.
