Well, I gave the Other option for the albums.

Killer's your favorite album? Why?

[Malicious Matt]

Hey Stoopid is great because I haven't heard any others albums. Just Greatest Hits.

[Desperado]

The best album is hard to say but I took Welcome To My Nightmare.

and the best song is maybe Halo Of Flies

And best era is maybe the Band Alice era but the 80's was cool too

[The Sandman]

I chose 'Other', as although not an album as such, The Definitive is awesome

Poison and Hey Stoopid tie for best song.

[ronaldo9]

Billion Dollar Babies

Teenage Lament '74

Band Years

Probably because of Halo Of Flies, that one song just drives me nuts when I hear it.

But it's also got some great tunes like Under My Wheels, Be My Lover, Desperado, You Drive Me Nervous, Dead Babies

You make it sound like Cooper is a bad solo artist.

The band was absolutely superb. No doubt, but Cooper held his own as a solo artist. The first bit I heard of him was from the album "Hey Stoopid". I got hooked, went bought "Billion Dollar Babies", at first I was shocked HOW different it was, but then I fell in love with it. Personally I think Cooper has had a solid career ever since 69. With the exception of the albums released between 82-87, which sucked.

[Guest knerken]

Love It To Death and Dirty Diamonds are his best albums. I voted Love It To Death.

His best song has got to The Ballad of Dwight Fry! When the Second Coming-outro is fading into the Dwight Fry-intro, chills run down my spine!

I have the entire Cooper catalogue (vinyl and cd...and some 8 tracks)..Alice was a great solo artist.

In my opinion nothing comes close to the original band...Alice jumped on a lot of bandwagons as a solo artist over the years...that's fine,lots of great material came out of it.

And I greatly respect him for shaking things up in his music,dabbling in different genres.

He's pretty much settled into a sound that tends to lean towards metal (and I don't mean the growling stuff...there's more to metal than just that).

But in their day,the original band was very cutting edge..as Alice has said "we were the band that drove a stake through the heart of the love generation".

They were a feared band in mainstream society...moreso than the hippie movement preceding them.

Nothing the solo Alice did matched what the original band achieved,on stage or on record.

(but that's not a band thing)
