I guess Blondie don't count because theirs is called Under The Gun (For Jeffrey Lee Pierce)

You forgot Lita’s:

Out of these, though, I’d pick Poley and Dsquared slightly over KI$$…

Is Under MY Gun by Icon close enough?

From the list, chose Kiss over Motörhead.

Foreigner, by a mile. One of their best songs.

Except the link doesn't work. Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLlfYi7jNig

I like Lita's too.

80's Boston band "Face to Face" was the first one that came to mind, so them.

Raise Your Hands by Bon Jovi and Laaz Rockit Mob Justice don't count as they are lyrics, not song titles.

Danger Danger Under the Gun is one of their many songs that should've been a huge hit. It's like Bon Jovi meets Survivor meets Lionel Richie Running with the Night meets Pat Benatar. It's a classic.

I voted for DP because of all the groups listed I like them the best. But it's not one of their better songs.

Underrated tune, that one, and it actually went top 40 on the Hot 100.

Knocking. I don't enjoy the title track much at all.

Thought you'd say that but since you put UTG #2 anything was possible.

UTG is a filler/skip track imo. 3-chord Jon Lord vamp that doesn't really go anywhere. So many other great songs on that album... Nobody's Home, Mean Streak, Hungry Daze...

Nobody's Home I like, but the other two don't move me. I really like the 12" single that has "Son of Alerik." Although I thought Perfect Strangers had a better/more aggressive sound and stronger songs at the top, I actually felt House of Blue Light was a little more consistent start-to-finish. Problem with that one was no great songs like Knocking, and also it had Jon Lord dipping into FM-synthesis keyboards, which changed the sound . . . and not for the better.

Yep. They got Yes syndrome - tried and failed to follow-up a great comeback album. Like you said, the singles were the worst 2 songs, esp Call of the Wild. Bleah.

I liked Bad Attitude. Also enjoyed Hard Lovin' Woman and Strangeways (extended version was better).

I remember seeing an on-sale date at my ticket agent for a Philly Nobody's Perfect date in '88... was that tour canceled due to "lack of advertising funds"? Or had Gillan quit/been fired?

I liked Hard Lovin' Woman too.

KISS wins for rhyming "crazy" with "crazy." And that's enough.
