Oh no, sorry, Young Guns II is a far, far better album than Stranger for me. Seb, I can't understand why you don't think it sounds like a complete album - it carries on the full theme simply because it is a movie soundtrack. It really flows very well to me, much more so than Stranger, especially as Stranger has the terrible, terrible Rosie smack in the middle which just doesn't fit in with anything else on the album (a bad Bon Jovi track anyway - why Richie included it, I'll never know)

Stranger has some absolutely stunning songs: One Light Burning, The Answer and Father Time, but I can list more from YGII - Blaze Of Glory, Santa Fe, Dying Ain't Much Of A Living, Never Say Die, Justice In A Barrel and Miracle. Lyrically, it's a far better album than Stranger, although yeah, of course Stranger has the better guitar work - it's a guitar players album.

Maybe it's just because I prefer Jon's voice over Richie's (Jon's a rock singer, Richie's not) but Jon's album has a kick that Stranger just doesn't deliver on.

On a side note I was listening to Stranger the other day actually, and River Of Love sounds so much like Woman In Love on KTF...lol...Jon must've liked that one. And it's not just the fact that they both have Love in the chorus and the title.
