But UYI-II had the most hits, no? ("November Rain" was the biggest chart hit, but whatever)
"You Could Be Mine", which was the initial hit, was on number 2 though.

"Civil War" was also an advance single and that was on II too. hell, even the next single "Don't Cry" had the alternate lyrics version on II. maybe they were afraid people would just put the first one and not worry about the second one unless they made sure to draw more attention to it.

I love me some MJ, GnR, NWA & REM, but none of those albums were really that great. STTG had its moments. I know that, to many, the black album is seen as the beginning of the end, but Christ what riffs! Sure they slowed it some and hired that jackass to produce it & make the inevitable bid for global superstardom, but it is superior to AJFA IMO &, really, the last great Metallica record. I think I'm going with Boner & Edgy on this one, tho.

Ropin' the Wind was such a let-down though, after the debut and No Fences. It was the album that really brought on the striped shirts, head mics, and Billy Joel covers.

I voted for Achtung Baby. Not only did they do a 180 on that desert sky stuff, but they pulled it off. Plus, prank calls to George HW Bush.

I sometimes still have trouble with the concept that there was a band called Color Mr Badd with two D's and they had an enormous hit called I Wanna Sex You Up" and they were an R&B group from Oklahoma.

and they all looked like clones of other pop stars (George Michael, Kenny G, Milli Vanilli).

Color Me Badd was the first band I ever knew about. Or maybe The Party.
