This is near impossible, every time I read a new posting I think..yeah that one, no that one, no.....
Ok the quiet room, sideshow, second coming. No I'm going for 'under my wheels' live from the Glasgow Apollo (B side of 'for Britain only) because I was there and it was the highlight of a truly magical night.

And who can forget recording it from RADIO CLYDE , then having to waiit a few weeks to get the encore .....

Great choice BTW

Cheers. I found a great video recording of the hammer smith gig from that tour on someone's Facebook page, but it seems to have gone.

It's always bugged me that I couldn't get a ticket for the Glasgow show. I had to go down to Hammersmith and Brighton instead.

Anyway, best song - I'd have to go for My Stars, closely followed by Generation Landslide.

Probably Halo of Flies, with several ACG songs a close second (Ballad of Dwight Fry, My Stars, Hard Hearted Alice, Man with the Golden Gun).

Steven.

Why? It's a great song, it's classic Horror Alice, the arrangement and production are perfect, and Hunter's solos are superb.

Thought about this a long time, not for first time, and Hello Hurray is still the one for me- because of the power in Alice's voice when he sings "God I feel so strong..." and for the guitar solo which for me is as good as it gets- there are another 30 songs at least that come very close but thats it. Used to listen to this track before going into a meeting each week where there was always discord-so personal meaning.

Awesome songs listed. Love the love for My Stars, though there's a lot more Alice songs I like more, My Stars is a masterpiece and is one of the songs I cite when trying to convince people that the original Alice Cooper band is the most underrated American rock band, especially in terms of songwriting.

My number one Alice song is the Ballad Of Dwight Fry.
but if I had to make a Top 10 off the top of my head, it'd probably include:
Blue Turk
Dead Babies
Desperado
Welcome To My Nightmare
Pass The Gun Around
Roses On White Lace
Wind Up Toy
What Do You Want From Me
