I mean some of the tracks on those lists are some of my fav songs?! I pretty much grew up with my dad playing me constrictor quite a lot, it was always an 'airport journey' album on our way on holiday...

However im sure my list will rub someone up the wrong way...

Thats it, i really need to think carefully about this.

Flush: dance yourself to death
Forces: generation landslide
Zipper: i am the future *
Dada: dyslexia
Constrictor: world needs guts *
Yell: lock me up

Stoopid: burning our bed

Dragontown: much too late
Eyes: song that didn't rhyme
Diamonds: steal that car *
Spider: i'm hungry

* is my top 5 if it's actually 5 that is.

[Gunner]

I think that song has more than one meaning.

I suppose it does, when you think about it.

I struggle to believe that 'I am the future', 'Chop Chop Chop' and 'Fresh Blood' feature in people's 'worst five'. They could be in my top 10!!!

[While Heaven Wept]

I am the future is in my opinion, the worst song Alice has done. It's so cringeworthy

[evil syd]

I don't think anyone has mentioned a track from the first two albums, which amazes me, because those are his least melodic albums. It's not that I am bashing them because I happen to love the them, it's an acquired taste.

.....I still can't believe someone mentioned "cold Ethyl"

Seriously you are killing me If these would make your top 10!! " Fresh Blood " ruins the flow of Da Da. Funky Alice yuk. Chop Chop Chop has to be one of the worst titles for a song ever. I can live with IATF but a top 10 song c'mon.
Dreadful movie too!!

I think thats why its 'solo' tracks ;-) Not the Alice Cooper Band tracks.

good point....d'oh!

[Spot and Jerome]

1) Love's a loaded gun
2) Only my heart talkin'
3) Backyard Brawl (& nearly all the rest on Eyes of AC)
4) Constrictor album (except Teenage F & He's back)
5) Raise your fist album (except Freedom, Gail, Roses)

Would be easier to choose just one (Love's a loaded gun) than 5

[dadascot]

This is interesting, like everyone else some of my favourites are on other peoples top 5 list, i.e. Love's a loaded gun, suppose that's what keeps it interesting, or as my best friend says "Opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one" so here is mine
1 step on you
2 time to kill
3 simple disobedience
4 wake the dead
5 wrapped in silk

This is fascinating, we have to count the votes at some stage

[The son of Don Quijote]

Here goes a baker's dozen of bad ones. These are not in any particular order.

1.You're a movie(How can a song with such a great lyrics be musically so awful, clumsy, robotic and uncreative)
2.Stand
3.You want it, want you got it
4.Ubangi stomp
5.Trash
6.Damned if you do
7.I'm your gun
8.Thrill my gorilla
9.I'm hungry
10.Killed by love
11.I better be good
12.Novocaine
13.I'm so angry

[The son of Don Quijote]

I am by the way a bit suprised that Pitkin listed Inmates, even though I already knew he is not a fan of From the inside album. I think it is the highlight of that album and still for some reason rarely gets mentioned in the best song on From the inside threads. Lyrics on that song are absolutely brilliant, maybe Alice's best. I as a poet really appreciate them.

"We're the fragile elite they dragged off the street. I guess they just couldn't take us no more"

"All the innocent crime seemed alright at time. Not necessarily mad"

And many other parts of the song are excellent too.
