Poll question: I promised, now here it is: Favorite Alice Cooper album?

If you're like me, you just can't get enough of classic Alice Cooper. Thusly, I have composed for you a list of some of the AC band's finest works.

2. 'Only Women Bleed' is the most powerful song I know

I love that song!!

3. "Love It To Death" is a great album...

before Furnier's schlock tendencies and Ezrin's boneheaded production ideas got out of hand.

Billion Dollar Babies 1973

Hello Hooray - Kempf <4:14> (ID lyric: I've been waiting so long to sing my song)
Raped and Freezin' - Bruce, Cooper <3:15>
Elected - Cooper, Smith, Dunaway, Bruce, Buxton <4:05>

There 'ya go.

Also from "No More Mister Nice Guy":
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.

7. Alice Cooper Goes To Hell...favorites..."I Never Cry"..."Wake Me Gently"..

If there's a tear on my face...
It makes me shiver to the bone...
It shakes me babe...
It's just a heartache that got caught in my eye...
And you know..I never cry...I never cry...
Sometimes I drink more than I need...
Untill the tv's dead and gone...
I may be lonely but I'm never alone...
And the night may pass me by...
But...I'll never cry...

Take away...take away my eyes...
Sometimes I'd rather be blind....
Break a heart..break a heart of stone...
Open it up...but don't you leave it alone....

'Cuz that's all I got to give to you...
Believe me babe...it ain't been used...
My heart's a virgin....it's never been tried...
And you know...I'll never cry...
And you know...I'll never cry...

:loveya: :cry: :loveya: :cry: :loveya:


I was scared to death...
Afraid to close my eyes...
And I find that I was gone...
Like every other one..
Who left before the dawn...
I vanished in the air...
And I'm still there....

Wake me gently...if you can...
Just touch my hand...
Wake me gently...pull my sleeve...
'Cuz where I'm at...is where I wanna leave...

And in my sleep...
I look so lifeless on this bed...
Laid out on satin sheets...
This dream's a novel...
That I don't dare complete...
No happy ending read...
I think the hero's dead....

repeat chorus...

And I'll never come home...
Please help me....I'm frightened...
Of what's goin on...
And if I can't wake up...
Will I be all alone...
A stranded orphan here...
Or will I bump into some other wandering soul...
And will they talk to me....
Somebody somebody please rescue me....

Wake me gently...just touch my hand...
Wake me gently...pull my sleeve...
'Cuz where I'm at....is where I wanna leave...

I wanna leave...
I wanna leave...
I wanna wake up...
I wanna leave..
I don't wanna stay...
I wanna leave...
I wanna go....
Just wake me up...
I wanna go home...
Wake me up please...
'Cuz I wanna go home...
I wanna go home....
Wake me...
Wake me....



......this album Vincent Furnier a.k.a. Alice Cooper dedicated to his Dad who's an Arizona minister! :evilgrin:

8. Nice review of Billion Dollar Babies here:

"Originally released in the spring of 1973, Billion Dollar Babies was at once the apex of the Alice Cooper Group's pop-trash aesthetic, a giant leap into vaudeville humor, and an ironic poke at a culture that had made the band the most successful rock act ever to be loathed by American parents. And while it didn't quite match the thematic unity of its two immediate predecessors (1971's Killer and 1972's School's Out), it did yield more hit singles than any previous Cooper effort."

[CanuckAmok]

15. LOL--same wavelength! n/t

[CanuckAmok]

14. What, no "Flush the Fasion '80"?!

I was disappointed to hear that Alice is a pretty right-wing guy. I read an interview with him where he says he and the band were cheering everytime there was a news report about Americans killing Vietnamese...
