In no particular order:

Deeper
Your Own Worst Enemy ('You butter your hand, instead of your bread', is a line that makes me cringe)
Every Woman Has a Name (Okay Alice, you're a 'new man', we get it)
The Song That Didn't Rhyme
Killed By Love

There are plenty more that I would class as pure filler, that also come close.

some crazy choices i'd put Some Folks as the second best song Alice did solo!

As for I Am The Future even though Alice had no part in the writing it is a masterpiece from a great film.

Just goes to show how opinions differ and I'm sticking to mine!

Give the Radio Back
You Want It, You Got It

These are the only two songs of Alice Cooper that I sometimes skip.

I agree with you on Nightmare's brilliant "some folks"
and I love "I am the Future"
In fact I'm crazy about most of the songs from the punk new wave unsober cooper years, classic stuff!

Stand...only because of the rap portion...Alice's part is fine....

I love all of Alice's songs..I don't really have one that makes me cringe...
Totally agree.

How can someone dislike Love's A Loaded Gun?? My favorite

-Something To Remember Me By- (the rest of the album is amazing)
-Wake The Dead- (he could make a killer song with ozzy but...)
-The Sentinel- (starts well but crushes during the chorus)
-Guilty-(Not a good "surprise" addition for me during the TOD tour)

and...(please don't kill me) : The original version of Steven.
I really do Love the live versions of the song though. :8):

of course there are some songs that i can't even remember the melody mostly from the early solo years.

Really Cherrypie... you don't like those songs?

P.S.: I've been listening to Madonna for too long, I was forgetting how good the songs of Alice are, ballads and the more rock songs, also. :alice:

No.
And I've just realised Sun Arise is not solo Alice, so I'd like to replace it with everything off Special Forces (except Generation Landslide)

Wow, I am surprised at some of the choices people have picked:

Deeper is such a creepy song, the journey into Dragontown...I love it and always pictured a video for it as Alice trapped in an elevator that crash lands in "Dragontown" as the song starts...

"Something to Remember Me By"...OMG that is one of the greatest songs he has done and his vocals are just to die for...I am always belting that one out loud :)

As for my 5 (and these are just ones I don't listen to that often...in my opinion, his solo career is something I cherish big time...there aren't many disappointments at all)

in no order:

No Baloney Homosapiens
You Want It, You Got It
You Look Good in Rags
Seven and Seven Is
Nuclear Infected

Beyond that, I listen to all of Alice's solo albums all the way through with particular love for 86 onward...
