    Top 10 Poison songs but 1st our 10a,b,c,d,e and f. Just make it top 15 and move on! 🤘
    Mine:
    1. So Tell Me Why
    2. Valley of Lost Souls
    3. Flesh and Blood (Sacrifice)
    4. Love On the Rocks
    5. Nothin’ But A Good Time
    6. Unskinny Bop
    7. Ride the Wind
    8. Strike Up the Band
    9. Every Rose Had Its Thorn
    10. Talk Dirty to Me
    And the Easy Action song Poison ripped off was We Go Rocking. They remade it in 2008 and that version is killer!

    its always amazing to me how people overlook how good crack a smile was, and pretend it doesn't exist. the album was fantastic, and if it had come out when it was supposed to in 1995/1996, probably would have gotten some play. it sounds fantastic, and it was a blending of their classic sound and sounded fresh for the time, and it was really well written. blues was a good compliment to the band, and i just wish people didn't pretend it wasn't part of the catalog.
    that being said i also love native tongue as well. very well crafted songs, and the album is great top to bottom. just not sugary poison...as much as it was soulful poison.

Great lists, not a big fan of Every Rose Has its Thorn but that is iconic Poison. After So Tell Me Why and Fallen Angel, Ride the Wind, and Valley of Lost Souls the rest of my top 10 would come off their debut: Play Dirty, #1 Bad Boy, Look What the Cat Dragged In, etc....

    I just have to riff off what Ryan was saying in the beginning about the stadium tour and what most are saying about Motley Crue live and it sucks that Vince just doesn’t do his job. I’m a long time diehard crue fan and I’ll tell you Vince Neil has never worked hard in his life. The guy has enough time and money to work with a top vocalist and refuses to do so because it’s work. He has always been the weak link in motley but for some reason the majority of the fans want Vince. Vince is the one single handling ruining this great band

      i see your point here...however i would imagine that most fans of vince are realists now that they have shelved out $250/ticket and got a terrible vocal out of it. my guess is that if they went and got a vince clone, in their 20's, who could sound great, that over time they could probably play decent places. the hard part is that people just can't let go of the nostalgia and will stop going. mick not being there may not cause huge touring losses, but i think even with a vince clone they would take a hit to playing arena's.

      I'm right with ya, man. I know getting older is hard, but he could afford to get a trainer and get in shape so he could at least attempt most of the lyrics.
