10 Hard Rock Music Artists Who Released Two Great Albums In The Same Year

5. Guns N’ Roses - Use Your Illusion I & Use Your Illusion II

Releasing two single albums on the same day is nice and all, but surely nobody is mad enough to release two double albums on the same day?

Oh, hi Axl.

In 1991, Guns N' Roses opened the floodgates and released a tidal wave of music unto the world. Across Use Your Illusion I and II, which both came out on 17th September 1991, the band put out thirty songs with a total runtime of over two-and-a-half hours.

Jesus Christ, guys, are you trying to kill us with all this content?

It's hard to complain about this, because there's so much good stuff spread out across the combined eight discs. Their covers of Knockin' on Heaven's Door and Live and Let Die are here, as are both versions of Don't Cry.

Then there's Civil War, 14 Years, The Garden, Dead Horse, and November freakin' Rain!

Just thinking about all that goodness is enough to tire a person out.

Do yourself a favour; find some good headphones, get some hefty snacks in, and indulge yourself in over 150 minutes of some of rock's finest doing what they do best.
