Poison has selected a number of popular rock classics to be covered and molded into the band's new CD.

An important detail is coming up from glam metal band 's newest album "". The album that offers a selection of classic rock tune covers has revealed its heavily anticipated tracklisting. The 13 tracks are ranging from 's "Suffragete City" up to Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band".

On January 3, the band posted on their official My Space page that they need the help from fans to pick songs for the album. Some suggested the band covering 's "Freebird," Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz," and 's "You Shook Me All Night Long". None of the songs was included in the record along with the obvious suggestion of 's "Poison." The band however kept Sweet and Alice Cooper in mind and decided to do their other songs.

Bowie's track and ' "Dead Flowers" are included because they are the band's favorite. Tracks like "Rock and Roll All Nite" and "Your Mama Don't Dance" meanwhile, come from their previous albums.
