Dada still remains one of the under-valued albums that deserves to be heard. It's a pretty dark ride, and something that sits well with his classics.

I missed out on buying the album for a long time, but getting it recently brought back a memory of spotting the cover at a K Mart, although I was not of the age to buy albums on my own and I knew that Alice was not a favorite of my parents (I could imagine them yelling "put it back!" if I would have picked Zipper Catches Skin for them to buy for me in a manner reminiscent of me asking them to get Isaac Hayes' Tough Guys album!). It was seriously worth the long wait!

I used to be a pretty big AC fan when I was younger, but I have never heard the Dada album before, I think for a lot of people including myself, there tends to be a big gap between Alice Cooper Goes to Hell & Constrictor, as if there is nothing in between.

That guitar solo is defiantly killer, I will have to check some of his early 80's stuff out.

Alice Cooper is cool. I mostly like what he released between 1970-1975, though, aside from a few tracks. Under my Wheels is awesome, as is No More Mister Nice Guy and Cold Ethyl.

The she has a dick and it's obvious you're no fan.

So...this is musical related, but not about Alice Cooper music. A legit fan, I believe, can help me here.

I need to find a Special Forces t-shirt. One that is not from the original tour and doesn't cost a small fortune-- because that is all I have found in my first round of searches.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? A certain huge AC fan will be very thankful on his birthday and I will be a hero.

I dunno if I talk about it too much, but I'm a genuinely huge Alice Cooper fan, from the band to the man. Just got to thinking about all my favorite tracks and had to hear them, and from there it always snowballs. I love this stuff so much, sone songs are utterly brilliant.

Alice Cooper as a band was an ensemble of some seriously outstanding musicians in glen Buxton and Dennis Dunaway(sp). One of the greatest rhythm sections IMO. ThCooper band albums are all classics, but I'd rank Killer and School's Out at the top. ****, Love it to Death too. "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" and "Black Juju" are genius.

I do love a whole lotta material from Aluce Cooper's solo project too. Welcome to My Nightmare us the go to there.

And then he's got some nice material scattered throughout the late 70s/early 80s, a lot which gets overlooked. It's honestly hit or miss, but whatever. In my life I have logged in so much listening and it easily ranks high up in stuff I've listened to most

Favorite tracks:

Caught in a Dream
Luney Tune
Desperado
Killer
Halo of Flies
Ballad of Dwight Fry
Raped and Freezing
Generation Landslide
Dead Babies

Trash was one of my fav albums as a child, still love a lot of his stuff now.

Poison is kinda okay, I think it's one of the better late 80s cheesy and lame power ballads at least.

It is nowhere near the quality he/they were dishing out

I don't care that much about him, but when I was 13 or 14 my dad took me to a concert and it was a great, extremely entertaining show and I had tons of fun.
