On this day in 1991, Guns N’ Roses released Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II—two full-length albums, 30 songs, on the same damn day.

This wasn’t Appetite for Destruction: Part II. Guns N’ Roses went bigger, stranger and completely unchecked: “November Rain,” “Civil War,” “Estranged,” “Coma,” “You Could Be Mine,” two versions of “Don’t Cry”—and enough ambition, dysfunction and excess to fill both cassettes.

The albums debuted at No. 1 and No. 2 in America, with the blue album taking the top spot.

No playlist. No algorithm. You bought the red one, the blue one—or both.

Which one wore out first?
