Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
BML at #2 is silly, and not including My Stars at all is just stoopid.
Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
I'm probably in the minority on this, but my top 20 wouldn't include anything from Muscle of Love and only the title track from School's Out.

From Toronto Bob:

I don't think all of those were 'A sides' though.

Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
I don't think any of those songs are bad, but not his top 20 in my opinion. More from Muscle Of Love than School's Out and an equal amount with Love It To Death doesn't make sense to me.
My top 20 is:
20. Working Up A Sweat
19. Caught In A Dream
18. Public Animal #9
17. No More Mr. Nice Guy
16. Be My Lover
15. Muscle Of Love
14. Long Way To Go
13. Hello Hooray
12. Elected
11. Black Juju
10. I'm Eighteen
09. Under My Wheels
08. School's Out
07. Dead Babies
06. Second Coming/Ballad Of Dwight Frye
05. My Stars
04. Halo Of Flies
03. Is It My Body
02. Luney Tune
01. Billion Dollar Babies

I agree. Halo of Flies should be #1 and My Stars should be in the top 10 at least.Si wrote:BML at #2 is silly, and not including My Stars at all is just stoopid.

Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
Its amazing that they produced so many good tracks from albums 3 to 7 (LITD to MOL) that we can even argue about a top 20- I could argue with myself on this! For me Luney Tune is so original it has to be in the 20 somewhere (there I go)...I couldn't do without Hello Hurray, KIller, Hard Hearted Alice, Halo of Flies, Generation Landslide, No More Mr Nice Guy, Elected, Schools Out, Eighteen, Dwight Fry- how many have I got left to pick from lol
You are an individual, just like everybody else.

Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
It's subjective. To each his own. The best thing about it is that one band has those songs in it's resume and you still could add a whole bunch more to a best list. That's impressive.

Yes. I was trying to avoid any exaggerating.

I've Got The Answers To All Of Your Questions...
Re: Top 20 Alice Cooper Songs by the Original Lineup
1) Second Coming, Ballad of Dwight Fry & Sun Arise played as a suite.
2) My Stars-- Alice's first unofficial solo song. Wangners guitar is sublime.
3) Hello Hurray
4) Return of the Spiders. -- Like Halo of Flies this song really show cases the bands. Alice takes ownership of his vocal style in this song. Glen and Michael are dueling leads, and Neal and Dennis are given it all on rhythm. It ashamed they stopped playing this song live. It is the greatest live song the band has written.
5) Teenage Lament- the Pointer Sisters get old though. Alices's lyrics make the song.
6) Muscle of Love -- captued the true teen spirit before Nirvana ever did
7) No More Mister Nice Guy--kind of a theme song for me.
8) Billion Dollar Babies -- Donnovan nailed it. Best song of his career and he does not know it.
9) Blue Turk- Other than Take Five the only jazz music that has held my interest as a teen.
10) Halo of Flies--never gets old.
2) My Stars-- Alice's first unofficial solo song. Wangners guitar is sublime.
