Here are mine; list yours. Liven this place up a bit.
1) Is it Day or Night 2) Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin 3) You Drive Me Wild 4) Blackmail 5) California Paradise 6) Queens of Noise 7) I Love Playin' with Fire 8) Dead End Justice 9) Little Sister 10) Wasted 11) American Nights 12) Cherry Bomb
You can tell I prefer the harder stuff. Nearly all of these are better in their concert versions from Live in Japan and Flaming Schoolgirls. 8-10 were probably best done in the studio (though the version of “Dead End Justice” on the Cleveland Agora bootleg is pretty cool). And the version of "Wasted" on Old Grey Whistle Test is awfully good.

"Gettin' Hot" was a great song. I tried to keep my list from getting too long.

You drive me Wild and Blackmail live is rock n roll gold!
I agree with Fallspeeds list....although I would add C'mon. I think C'mon sounds so cool, but much different than their other stuff, the song almost sounds like it could have just been recently recorded.
I love Dead End Justice!! But there is one lyric in it that really brings the song down. The part where they say "They beat me with a board..it hurt just like a sword". This sounds so lame and ridiculous. I think if ever Kim Fowley should have stepped in and micro managed anything he would have fixed this lyric....of course maybe it came from him. I think if they record this for the movie they should change that part. Sorry..but I can't help but fixate on this.

Also the line where Joan says "I can't go on, but I can't leave you." It doesn't make any sense, as Jackie later pointed out. They mean the same thing. She should have said, "I can't stay here, but I can't leave you." I'm assuming they stopped playing that song after Cherie quit.

"Dead End Justice" is only on one of their bootlegs (the Cleveland Agora), so I'm guessing it dropped off their setlist by early 1977.
I don't know why none of their US shows were ever filmed. Fowley should have had the foresight to see how filmed footage of the group could help break them in the US, maybe on TV or in a concert movie.
