Halloween Poll: Isn’t It Shocking?
Unscientific poll upon my screen, which of the following rockers make me scream? Is it Alice? Is it Ozzy? Which musical act guarantees a fright, along with plenty of shocks to last me all night?
Yep, it’s another lousy poem to introduce a poll. Bluntly put, who’s your favorite shock rocker?

When thinking about this little poll, our thoughts immediately turned to Alice Cooper. After all, with his macabre makeup and knowing what scares us along with snakes, guillotines and skulls, Alice will always be our ultimate shock rocker.
However, there are plenty of worthy contenders to the shock-rock throne. It all comes down to which artists and/or bands scare you the most. Or at least make you blink in disbelief.
Yeah, it’s a short list. But that’s what comment threads are for.
