Your Favorite and Least Favorite ACG Album/ Solo

[HORRORHOLIC]

Favorite - It's pretty much a tie between Love It To Death and Killer, but I'll say Killer!!

Least Favorite - Muscle Of Love!!!

Sorry I forgot to put solo

Favorite - Raise Your Fist And Yell

Least Favorite - I'm not 100% sure to be honest. I used to say Goes To Hell or one of the albums from "the weird years" But I haven't listened to that in so long. I was never a big fan of The Eyes either

Disappointments : Dirty Diamonds: The Eyes of Alice Cooper was a fun album which took me a while to appreciate but I do manage from time to time to give this album a play. Dirty Diamonds had a few good tracks but it didn't stand out like The Eyes and I shelved it.

Constrictor: The comeback album, there are some good moments on it, but its certainly sounds very outdated. The album cover could of been presented differently. The original version of He's Back could of made this album a bit more stronger.

I can't pin point it , but perhaps it was the way it was produced and arranged. I don't listen to much of the songs on Along Came a Spider. There are a few good ones that stick out though.

Fave: LITD
Worst: Easy Action

Fave: Da Da
Worst: FTI. Kiki Dee, David Foster, Horrible backing vocals, over written songs, and a complete load of bollocks that any of these characters were in his cushy treatment center. Oh and Bernie Taupin and the lame ballads and members of ToTo etc etc.

[Luney Tune]

ACG favorite : BDB
Least favorite : Pretties for Yoy

Solo favorite : WTMN
Least favorite : Thrash

>and a complete load of bollocks that any of these characters

I don't think he ever said that. The songs describe exaggerated versions of some of the people that he met (and they are also exaggerations of what he experienced, with the exception of "How You Gonna See Me Now") - they were not meant to be accurate biographies.

>were in his cushy

I don't see how that is relevant.

Fave: LITD. Or Killer. Or Schools Out

Least Fave: Special Forces

[jacknifejohnny]

Fave...LITD / Killer....can never decide which is the best of those 2 classics.......Worst PFY.

[jacknifejohnny]

Whoops, forgot the solo's.....Fave...WTMN/TLT/BP....it's a bloody close call between those 3 imo........Worst...L&W [ for the 2nd side alone ]

ACG favorite : Love It To Death
Least favorite : Muscle Of Love

Solo favorite : Welcome To My Nightmare
Least favorite : Dragontown

[Crazy Little Child]

ACG Favourite: Dang hard to pick, but to be contrary i'll say Muscle of Love, just 'cause so many of you picked it as your least (really?!)

I think it's possibly the best SOUNDING of all the records. Dunnaway/Smith are stupid good on all the albums, but their sound on vinyl is the best here, and i credit producer Jack Richardson. (he's famous here in Canada for producing virtually all of the Guess Who's hits, and their rhythm section always sounded amazing, and made that band stand out from their peers, even on their more easy-listening AM hits). The arrangments are great here. All the back up vocals are stunning, as are the other touches (horns where needed, strings, etc). Lastly, writing a song about masturbation was a brave move. Naming an album after it? Braver (or maybe just stupid, i guess, as it didn't sell so well).

I will allow how as "Woman Machine" was a throw-away, and possible the dullest thing they ever recorded.

Least Favourite: Easy Action - all the chaos of Pretties with none of the creativity, imho.

Solo Favourite*: Welcome to my Nightmare. Last Temptation gets an honorable mention.
Least Favourite*: Zipper Catches Skin - it was just forgettable. Both Kane Roberts albums get an honorable mention here, too.

[Crazy Little Child]

* Meant to mention that i haven't listened to anything since Last Temptation, except a bit of Brutal Planet which was, well, brutal.

Listened to the "reunion" tracks on W2MN, though, and *LOVED* Runaway Train, good show Dennis (and Vince Gill?!)

I heard him say that ''Muscle of Love'' was about the heart, which is a muscle, the muscle of love.

>I heard him say that ''Muscle of Love'' was about the heart, which is a muscle, the muscle of love.

Actually, it's also in the lyrics of the song. However, it is also a pun.

OOOH...How Rude...Lol

[Crazy Little Child]

I think it's fair to say it's a double-entrendre...

"Holy muscle of love, my heart's a muscle

I read Dad's books like I did before,
Now things are crystal clear.
Lock the door in the bathroom now,
I just can't get caught in here."

[Rhapsody of Fire]

>I heard him say that ''Muscle of Love'' was about the heart, which is a muscle, the muscle of love.

Maybe it was also a pun, I don't care. TO ME, ''Muscle of Love'' is about the heart, everybody is entitled to their interpretation of a song.

Who said that you're not? I already agreed with you and cited the lyrics as proof.

do you mean a "dis-honorable" mention?
