| I first heard Alice Cooper when I was about 12 years old. I remember the moment to this day. A friend of mine played me his older brother's copy of Welcome To My Nightmare. The song Steven had a profound effect on me - it chilled me and excited me in equal measure; I'd never before heard anything like it. All these years later, I regard Welcome To My Nightmare (The Coop's first solo album) as the pinnacle of a career that has seen many highpoints: the albums with the Alice Cooper band, such as Killer, School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies; concept albums like From The Inside and DaDa; his renaissance in the eighties with Raise Your Fist And Yell, Constrictor and Trash; and then the unbroken run of absolute classics from The Last Temptation right up to Along Came A Spider. Garage rock, vaudeville, heavy metal, cock-rock, glam-rock, shock-rock, social commentary, narrative-based songs and concept albums, and one of the most celebrated stageshows in rock'n'roll...ladies and gentlemen, I give you the one and only Alice Cooper. |

I agree on every level of your post.
However, I wasn't a huge fan of the 'concept era' (dada sucks)...o well.
Can't wait for the Gruesome Twosome tour next week!

| Hey, we can't agree on everything and it's rare to find fans of any artist who agree about every album. Alice doesn't even remember recording DaDa he was so out of it. I just think Former Lee Warmer is creepy as all hell and I Love America is totally hilarious. |

Bands like KISS, MARYLIN MANSON, ETC. would NEVER be without the Coop:): |
