like this stream..most overrated- DADA
most underrated-theres a few IMO- ACGTH is I think well thought,underated but maybe I dont feel some of it is Alice material. From the inside. Flush. Last Temptation definitely and ACAS in some quarters.
Doing this exercise has given me a feeling that if Alice had combined some of WELCOME with HELL would have been cracker of an album with a bit of editing...could even have lifted ITS HOT TONIGHT re hell/nightmare connotations..I think Welcome on its own is a little overrated.
Sometimes I think it would be good for Alice to go back and cherry pick bits of his albums and put together soem new material to create bigger/more complete story on cd. Maybe he will do this on tour with Nightmare/ACAS...

Overrated: Dirty Diamonds, The Last Temptation
Underrated: Trash, some opinions about this album here are utterly laughable. Trash is possibly the album that cemented Alice as a mainstay legendary artist when he could have faded away back in 1983.
It was a stellar album for it's time AND it brought in new fans for him. Yeah, you haters had better recognize.

Overrated: by the general public WTMN - great album, to be sure, but doesn't rank in my top 5 / by this board Dada - decent, but not sure why there are such strong admirers here
Underrated: by the general public TLT - classic Cooper, although many would fit in this category / on this board School's Out - what a great diversity of styles, although way too short, really is the White Album of Alice Cooper, on many days it is my all-time fav

My choices go against what others have said:
Underrated albums: School's Out and Trash.
I cannot understand why some people don't care that much for School's Out. I think it is a fantastic album with some of Alice Cooper's best songs ever: I don't think I even have to explain what a masterpiece the title song is. Public Animal #9 is one of my all-time faves and ties in perfectly with Alice's image as one of rock's bad boys. And there are other great songs like My Stars, Blue Turk and Gutter Cats. I think School's Out gets underrated because it falls between Killer and BDB, but it is a great album nonetheless.
As for Trash, a previous thread showed that it is mainly male fans who dislike Trash. I think Trash gets a bad rap when it has catchy, sexy tunes that gave Alice much more appeal with females. What's wrong with that?
Overrated album: From the Inside. When this album came out, I liked it a lot better then than I did in later years. For some reason, this album has not aged well for me. I still love Nurse Rozetta but some of the other tracks don't excite me as much as they used to. There are some die-hards who rate this album one of Alice's all-time best. It's a good album but I don't think it's one of his all-time best.
