Flush The Fashion was shock-rocker Alice Cooper's fifth studio album. Released in 1980, the LP saw Cooper moving away from pure metal and hard rock influences and embracing the ascendant New Wave sound. Lead-off single "Clones (We're All)" hit the US top 40, making it the most successful Alice Cooper release in years. The album sold well, but in subsequent years Cooper would basically disavow it, refusing to play any track from Flush The Fashion live until 2011. Too bad, becuase "Clones (We're All)" is an awesome, Gary-Numanish song. I have it at #143 on my Top 200.
