Fave Alice Cooper: Number 3

In honor of Halloween, I've decided to count down my top three favorite Alice Cooper videos. After all, no one does shock, horror or Halloween fun better than the Coop. Today? "Poison."

. . . I know it won't even crack the top ten when it comes to Cooper, but "Go to Hell" from _Goes to . . ._ is a pretty damn good Cooper song for this time of year:

"You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
You'd gift-wrap a leper and mail him to your aunt Jane
You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
You can go to hell."

Not the classic stuff, nor is it similar to his transition into a more main-sheen resurgence in the mid-80s. But that is a solid song on a good album.

This is my favorite Alice Cooper song. Was popular when I was in high school and I loved the video. This album was my first Alice, and I stayed buying the older stuff because of it.

Fellows. I love Alice Cooper for his support to a genuine and underrated band like Dogs D´ Amour... (2002). The father of shock rock...
Sorry for my english...regards from Buenos Aires. Also, he "promoted" a glam rockers guitar players like Keri Kelli & Ryan Roxie.

I'm with ya, Allyson... This easily in my Top Ten Alice Cooper Songs. I absolutely LOVE this song though I wouldn't go as far as Oper8n. Of course, Cooper knew it was a hit before he even completed it, bringing in Desmond Child to write it with him.

Though the first Cooper album I bought was "Love It to Death" and every album since, revealing much of the old stuff as the epitome of classic, looking back now, this is a different kind of classic... This is total Pop Metal perfection!

I look forward to what your next fave is!
