Songs of My Life #67 - Alice Cooper - Spark in the Dark - 1989

Alice Cooper had had some lean years in the 1980's - according to the 'experts' anyway, personally I loved "Constrictor" and "Raise Your Fist and Yell" - but when the album Poison was released the world went crazy for him once again, with hit singles left, right and centre.

This was the second song off that album, immediately after the title track. It's one of my favourites, because it's upbeat and fun with a great guitar riff and it sums up the entire mood of the album.

I saw them on this tour, Alice Cooper Trashes the World, and it remains one of my favourite concerts. Whenever I need a lift in my mood, this is one of the songs I can go to.
