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.

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.
