I think Use Your Illusion II is as good or nearly as good as Appetite. I do agree that the rest of GnR's output is extremely spotty though.

The term 'classic' is subjective, but I consider it to be one.

Okay. I disagree though. To me it's a very "meh" album. V&F just has this weird notion that it's somehow an indisputable fact that Badmotorfinger is amazing. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm just being difficult or something for never having been impressed by it.

I just think if you look at that time, the grunge movement. Essential albums would be Nevermind, Ten, Dirt, and Badmotorfinger.Those would be the 4 albums I would give someone if they had never heard grunge. Pretty good company to be in.

I have to say at the time I never thought of Badmotorfinger as any kind of essential album. Actually, as I've mentioned to V&F in the past, people I knew considered it a metal not grunge. And for me, whatever you group it with, it's just a boring album that never did it for me. So it's pretty hard for me to call it classic or essential or anything else along those lines.

Those four could certainly be clasified as the essential albums from the grunge era. When most people think of classic rock they think 60`s and 70`s because the term I think was coined in the 80`s???? so it means anything great and old. So any classic rock albums from the 80`s and 90's regardless of genre are classic rock.

Nah. Badmotorfinger(Might swap it for Dust depending on their preference between Metal and Indie), Dirt, Gentlemen and Live Through This :P
If you have to put in a Nirvana album at least make it In Utero.

Can't go wrong with Screaming Trees, but that list wasn't my preference. But rather a device to show the importance of the album by popularity.

Well then I'd probably agree, but if it was only to introduce them to the music I definetly wouldn't include Nevermind or Ten.

I just think you are difficult to impress.

But I don't consider the term "classic" subjective as you do. I don't even like Badmotorfinger (and I don't know how you got this impression of me) but I consider it a classic album, because, well, it *IS* a classic album, whether Janszoon of MusicBanter likes it or not...
