    Pretty good, my 3 choices matched 3 of the top 4 in the results. But as mestreech posted, "Never Been Sold Before" has the right sound.

    "Halo Of Flies" is my favourite track on Killer, but that album is in turn is my favourite A.C. album, so it's not like I don't like the other tracks too.

    "My Stars" and also "Public Animal #9" would be my other top picks from School's Out, but I think "Gutter Cats..." is more important, it has had more precence in the live repertoire over the years and the West Side Story reference is a significant piece of the Cooper puzzle (it's also the only other track picked for Life and Crimes).

    According to the set list site I was using when I compiled the choices, Killer is the most played track from the Killer album that wasn't included on Greatest Hits.

    Personally Dead Babies is my favorite track from Killer that is not included. Both Killer and Dead Babies were included on the Life And Crimes of Alice Cooper box set.

    However both Halo Of Flies and Dead Babies are played live quite a bit.

    Killer is the most played because that’s when they did the whole execution bit.

    If it wasn't a single or played live much, I didn't include it.

    I was only talking about School's Out songs, since it's only represented by the one song I though it needed another, for the sake of balance.

    In recent years they have often inluded "Halo Of Flies" in the show, at least when I've seen them (might be a European thing), and they always do the whole song (unlike many of the other "epics", like "Dead Babies", "Killer" or "I Love the Dead", where they only play a snippet of it in some medley).

    They have played both Halo Of Flies and Dead Babies live quite a bit. More than some of the other songs on the list.

    I tried to include a few choices from each album. If I just included the most played songs, more would have been on the list from Billion Dollar Babies. For example, Raped and Freezin' and Unfinished Sweet would have knocked some of the Muscle of Love choices off the list.

    I voted for Halo of Flies which would be highly impractical on the album but is my favorite AC song.
