Top Ten ( Worst ) Tracks

Post by pitkin88 » Fri Jul 28, 2017 4:42 am

Ten Of the worst please. Only one song per album.

1) Dragon Town: Deeper. Plod plod plod plod.
2 Lace and Whiskey: No More Love: skip skip prance sashay.
3) W2MN: Ghouls Gone Wild. for Shaggy and Scooby
4) Da Da: Fresh Blood. Funky Alice almost drags down a minor masterpiece.
5) FTI: Millie and Billie. Even the title makes me want to hurl.
6) ACGTH: I Am The Coolest: No really you are not. There is nothing cool at all about this,
7) Paranormal: Holy Water. I guess hearing this might cause a vampire to explode.
8) TLT: Unholy War: Just awful tuneless. Maybe Cornell sold him a two-fer.
9) Constrictor: Thrill My Gorilla. not ape over this one.
10) Dirty Diamonds: Jesse Jane: Just great musically but ruined by Alice's stupid lyrics,

Some albums got off light. I can barely remember half the songs on Hey Stoopid and I was unable to even listen to ACA Stinker.

Ok have at it.

Woman Machine(MOL) The only ACG song I can't stand.
Damned If I Do(L&W) This Chas & Dave knees up pongs.
I Am The Future(ZCS) Puts the T into turgid.
Trick Bag(Constrictor) Hair-metal misogyny.
Step On You (RYF&Y) See above.
Trash - Plenty to choose from here, but this is his most despicable song.
Feed My Frankenstein(HS) How can it take four people to write such rubbish?
Sister Sara(DT) Ploddingly dull.
Underture (W2MN) The epitome of conceit.
Pick any one off HVs; they're all crap.

Let me start by saying I love all eras of Alice Cooper and there are several albums I legitimately like every song or almost every song. I am more of a solo Alice fan than original band (though they are awesome as well)

Pretties For You-Apple Bush
Easy Action-Below Your Means
Love it To Death-Sun Arise (The only song on that album I don't care for)
Billion Dollar Babies-Elected (I know this is considered a classic but I have never cared for this song, though Alice would make a great President)
Muscle of Love-Working Up a Sweat (this or Along Came a Spider is probably my least favorite Alice album. Really only like two songs on Muscle of Love)
Goes To Hell-You Gotta Dance
Lace and Whiskey-I Never Wrote Those Songs
Dada-I Love America (interesting because Dada is one of my favorite albums but this song I always found silly. The only track I don't like on Dada)
Dragontown-The Sentinel
Along Came a Spider-Wrapped in Silk

I improved the above list immeasurably by removing the 3 ACG songs. I trust you can find 3 Alice solo songs to properly complete your list.

Thanks for reminding me! Add Go To Hell to the list. That makes eleven but who's counting?

My top 10 worst songs:

Trash--The entire album

Zipper Catches Skin-I Am The Future (I would have preferred "I Am A Suture")

Constrictor-Thrill My Gorilla (Alice singing "Suki honey..." I have to say no more)

The Last Temptation-Unholy Way (just doesn't fit--like O.J.'s gloves)

Special Forces-You Want It You Got It (I love this album and like this song---but it always sounds like it was recorded without having proper lyrics written and Alice "winging" it.--which I think was the case--as the blow was starting to effect Alice's work ethic)

Goes To Hell--You Gotta Dance (the only major flaw in a underrated gem of an album)

Hey Stoopid--about half of the album (not that there are any really bad songs but more than half-the album is unmemorable and generic)

Dirty Diamonds-Zombie Dance (the title alone ruins it for me--it's something you would find on a Halloween Hoedown cd)

W2MN-What Baby Wants (Keisha--why oh why?}

Trash-the entire album. (it's so bad it MUST be listed twice!)


What I have come to realize while writing this post is that outside of the first two original Alice Cooper (group) albums, the rest of their output is near flawless! That speaks volumes!

Si, you can officially end the thread right there. In reality there's been nothing worse than the recording of this song. :evil:

I just realized I overlooked my disdain for a few "nuggets" (not golden, but the type your dog leaves on the floor) off of Lace & Whiskey.

Then again--I try to overlook the whole Escargot debacle! We all have our embarrassing moments we'd like to forget--as does Alice.
