The existence of 'The Ballad of Dwight Fry' means Love it Death has to be my #1, with Killer a close second.

[@Andrey_Yurkoff]

DADA must be one of the most underappreciated albums in rock music. And Pass The Gun Around is one of the best AC songs ever.

[@scmcarp]

It’s my top album something about that album former lee Warner and dada pass the gun around

[@EnglishStrippedBare]

It's my favorite solo Alice record.

[@RCullis47]

The Coop was my very first concert. Billion Dollar Babies Tour September 1973 at Madison Square Garden. It set the bar high for all future concerts for thereafter.

[@classicalbum]

Wow

[@jazzpunk]

I had a chance to see the BDB Holiday Tour (December 1973) at the Norfolk Scope & blew it. I am still mad. I did see the 1st-go round of AC as a solo act...the Welcome To My Nightmare in 1975.Fluff, IMO. Not a fan.

[@davidwebb8259]

Killer is a brilliant accomplishment---the rare concept album in which each song stands alone on its own merit---every song takes on a different connotation of the word "killer"---a murderous boyfriend, an old west outlaw, a "lady killer", a 007-like licensed to kill spy, a rebellious teen who is "killing" their parents with attitude, neglectful parents, a convicted murderer----and all these vignettes set to some of the tightest garage band rock and roll you'll ever hear. I think it's one of the most important albums of the 1970s. I was glad to see it at the top of your list. The rest of my list: 10. Love It To Death 9. Easy Action 8. Flush the Fashion 7. DaDa 6. Dirty Diamonds 5. Last Temptation 4. Muscle of Love 3. From The Inside 2. School's Out 1. Killer

[@marcddailey]

@Alice Cooper you are a troll. so fake!

[@kristofftaylovoski60]

Those crazy Frank Zappa first couple of records are insane as well.. "Pretties for You" and "Easy Action".

[@Pellefication]

Hi, the whiny old fart here. As a big Alice Cooper Group fan since I was a kid, it has to be said that Alice Cooper was a band until 1975. Very soon many began to identify Vincent Furnier as Alice Cooper and the rest is history. It's kind of like Debby Harry would start calling herself Bondie. For me, it's the band Alice Cooper that counts ..... with the exception of 'Welcome to my Nightmare'! :-)

[@walterfechter8080]

"Love It to Death" -- my favourite LP by the original Alice Cooper band. Michael Bruce wrote some amazing lyrics. Glenn Buxton was king tone on guitar. Thanks, Classic Album Review.

[@stephenlegg262]

Great video as usual. Killer is my favourite and the first one I bought in 1971. Not heard many of his solo albums. Love all the early band albums.

[@sophiecooper3624]

Check his solo stuff ist really worth a listen Also you need to see him live. He still tours like crazy . His latest tour was insane Here a little snippet kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3u8pIKooqubfJI

[@TheIndependentLens]

I LOVE "Hard Hearted Alice" with the haunting melody that builds and really shows off the talents of the band. You're floating and then flying when you listen to that song. Anyway, it's one of my all time favorite songs and a underappreciated classic rock song.

[@KowankoMusic]

You're very well spoken - I enjoy hearing your thoughts on classic bands. Alice Cooper is an alltime favorite of mine as well.

[@snipppa]

The original BDB album artwork was magnificent. Gate fold, Push out photos, a huge Billion Dollar bill. Just awesome.

[@chrisbarry4467]

Really surprised at how few people like B.D.B. I love killer but Babies is far more polished and complete. Their crowning moment for me.

[@John-et9yl]

Desperado is such a menacing song. Evokes images of Cape Fear. Killer is a killer album.

[@mauricemorning]

It had to be Killer but you did not mention its best song: Halo of Flies, a 10 minute tour de force that I have not tired of in 45 years! There are really only 4 Alice Cooper albums in my mind and you nailed them. I have some regard for Easy Action and the first Welcome, but nothing else on the whole except for rare shockers like Only Women Bleed and Brutal Planet. I never really cared for the glitz or pseudo-metal aspects of his solo career.

[@mvm5375]

Halo of Flies is a masterpiece! Absolutely!

[@marSLaZZ66]

That song gives me the thrills !!

[@juliancamilato4673]

1)BRUTAL PLANET 2)Dragontown 3)Hey stoopid 4)Killer 5)Billion dollar babies 6)The eyes of Alice Cooper 7)Thrash 8)Raise your fist and yell 9)Constrictor 10)Easy action

[@juliancamilato4673]

@The Rain I started to listen A.C. in 2000 when I was 13. I started with Hey Stoopid then brutal planet, Lace And Whisky...and then the rest. And I love Brutal Planet because of the dark lyrics, in fact my 2 fauvorite albums are BRUTAL PLANET and in second place The X Factor by Iron Maiden which is also a dark album.

[@joelnallo7252]

Brutal Planet is actually a really solid album. It no doubt deserve a spot on my top 10 list.

[@paulallen3182]

I've never heard an Alice Cooper album I did not like if not love. I personally was a bit disappointed that "The Last Temptation did not make the list. "Bad Place Alone" is definitely in my top ten Alice Cooper tracks. "Unholy War", ""Lost In America", "Stolen Prayer", "Nothing's Free" and "It's Me: are all great tracks as well. I also really enjoyed the 1986 "Constrictor" album so much that I wore out the tape (age stamping myself) and had to buy a new one. "He's Back! (The Man Behind the Mask)" is a track that should be on everyone's Halloween playlist. "Teenage Frankenstein", "Crawlin'" and "The World Needs Guts" are great songs to workout to" (love Kip Winger's backing vocals) Their is really no right or wrong top ten ultimately. If you like Alice Cooper's music their is a really good chance I would like you!

Thanks for thinking outside the box. So many always pick the same records. This is a great list!

[@windyhillbomber]

Saw Alice back in 77 doing his Welcome To My Nightmare tour - Perth Entertainment Centre. Amazing show.

[@jazzpunk]

I saw the WTMN Tour in 1975 (Norfolk Scope). Not a fan, too much fluff...the band was about 100ft from the front of the stage. Best part was when Wagner & Hunter came up close & did their guitar duel. Suzi Quatro was the opening band.

@@classicalbum Constrictor is very underrated IMO. Maybe because it's not as deep or dark but just good rock tunes with catchy hooks. A fun and enjoyable album, better than Raise your Fist or Trash IMO.

[@rodsmolter5046]

Flush the Fashion is great. The others suck, especially DaDa.

[@fittobetiedyed5315]

Excellent review of your top ten. Other than changing the order due to personal preferences I would not dispute any of these being in the list. Welcome 2 My Nightmare is one of my favourite albums of all time, so I was glad to see it included here.

[@davidenders9282]

1. Welcome to my Nightmare 2. Goes to Hell 3. Billion Dollar Babies 4. From the Inside 5. Killer 6. Special Forces

[@60zeller]

Really David really, I take it you got into Cooper later on

[@spaceclown7650]

1 School's Out 2 Billion Dollar Babies 3 Killer or Muscle of Love 4 Pretties For You (Fields of Regret is my favorite AC song) 5 Alice Cooper Goes To Hell But I hate Welcome 2 My Nightmare and can't understand why anyone would like it. What's more surprising is he had Dennis, Mike, and Neal from the original band co-writing some of the songs. And the original Alice Cooper is my favorite band, so I wouldn't bash on an album with most of the original band members unless it was really bad, which IMO it is.

[@johnb2182]

I would agree perhaps with killer being number one (and ive only really just recently heard the entire album) Number one for the music really. This album shows that he had a band that could play extremely well,compose really well and be diverse. I think Welcome to my Nightmare is equal number one because it shows a more mature and focused Cooper.The entire album flows just like a nightmare..love especially Years Ago,Steven,The awakening and escape.

BDB was the first album that I / my mum ever bought as a highly impressionable 13 1/2year old . The album cover art and inside illustrations etc werre so beautiful to me . I was still so small that the record and packaging seemed about half my size ! Still can remember how thrilling it all seemed .. Still feel it today . Never mind the massive stylised dollat bill ! Dark side and Houses of the Holy came next . Both with artwork and packaging ( free poaters ! Stickers ! ) that left me , kind of ovdrwhelned by the whole thing . Ah , the Seventies .

[@gwts1171]

I love Zipper. I used to play in a band that would cover that album start to finish at some shows. We were more of a noise rock band, but we all loved that album, so we'd change it up. The crowd loved it (I'm kidding).

[@PhilBaird1]

Tremendous stuff ! A great analysis of what makes these records special. I loved the early band and thought they pre-dated punk by five years. That's where Johnny Rotten got his style and attitude. Must have been a big influence on Alex Harvey too. They were everything a rock and roll band should be and did it all with theatre and style. Off to Amazon now to buy Dennis's book !

[@classicalbum]

It is a great book

[@mvm5375]

You nailed it! Fantastic list and you put the best album at number 1. Killer is my number one as well. Halo of Flies.... My personal favorite. Dead Babies.... Start to finish a masterpiece. You did a wonderful job. I am from Michigan. I was born in 1976, appropriately the year Goes To Hell came out and first Cooper song I heard heading into Detroit at 12 years of age. I have been hooked ever since. So glad you included Eyes of Alice Cooper. You literally picked the ten best. Thank you for sharing.....

Hi. Your number 2 was the first vinyl I bought in 1973 together with David Bowie - Aladdin Sane. Still like the Bowie album and Billion Dollar Babies. But I never bought another Alice Cooper album, but I bought a lot more Bowie albums. I tried more Alice Cooper albums, but none could match Billion Dollar Babies, at least in my opinion.

[@justinp7034]

Those songs from Brutal Planet were really leftovers from the "Last temptation" sessions.

[@marcddailey]

@@stephensdygert7600 love those leftovers!

[@AlexosaurusRex]

This will surely be unpopular, but in my humble opinion: 01. DaDa 02. Killer 03. Billion Dollar Babies 04. Welcome to My Nightmare 05. Trash 06. Dirty Diamonds 07. Pretties for You 08. Welcome 2 My Nightmare 09. Special Forces 10. Easy Action I am one of the few people that thinks the early 80's "blackout" new wave inspired albums were a huge improvement over the late 70's slightly disco tinged albums. I don't care what anyone says, DaDa is sheer brilliance. I also have a fondness for the two pre-Ezrin avant-garde albums that everyone seems to dislike. One of my absolute favourite songs is on neither of those albums, but was recorded in that time period, Nobody Likes Me. How that was left off of Pretties For You or Easy Action is beyond me. The newer albums are a bit of a mixed bag, but Welcome 2 My Nightmare was surprisingly awesome for a sequel type album and Dirty Diamonds just has great song after great song once you get to the title track, although most people have an incomplete version without The Sharpest Pain, which is indispensable in my opinion.

[@marcddailey]

Interestingly, Nobody Likes Me was pressed as a cut-out single on the back cover of one of his early tour programs, I think the BDB '73 tour. I had an opportunity to have an hour of airtime on WYEP Pittsburgh and included it in my playlist. That was 1975. My 15 minutes of fame, lol.

My favorite alice album of the 2000s is "along came a spider" a full rock opera concept.

[@MARIO-uf1no]

Huge Alice fan here all the way from the mid 70's. For me, nothing he's released touches the LP's with the "old band" from 1971-1974. I've enjoyed his music after that period and rolled with whatever styles he chose. However, those 5 classics of Love it to Death thru Muscle of Love are perfect. I've always wondered why he never got that group back together earlier than he did. They had a magic, IMHO. By the way, regarding his 80's releases, Flush the Fashion is pretty terrific and underrated. Great lyrics, too. Too bad it's only about 30 minutes long.

[@Jojo-yl4qx]

Completely agree with your top 3 .. killer is a masterpiece. Great choice 👌

[@panjin79]

I think you nailed the top 5. My bottom 5 would kick out From The Inside move everything up a slot, then add in Raise Your Fist And Yell. That album combines the more theatrical aspects of Alice with hair metal. One of my faves.

[@beejayca]

Great review. Almost in complete agreement. Well done. Cheers.

[@Brad-S]

I have just one problem with your review. Now I got to go to Amazon. As I don't have some of those in your review and you seem to have sparked my interest all over again. So Thanks For That. =) I think if I did my own Top 10 I would have put Welcome To My Nightmare at No. 1. Plus in no real order my top 10 would have Brutal Planet, Trash or maybe Hey Stupid. I don't know if Paranormal was out when you did this review so I don't know if it be fair add it in? But if I could add it in, I would. Maybe the reason I like so much is because it's fresh and new. For sure Paranormal isn't one of Alice's darkest albums, it's a little more fun and lighthearted. But that is just my opinion. Amazon here I come and Killer is on the top of my list.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

I'd go with: *1)* Billion Dollar Babies, *2)* Love It to Death, *3)* From the Inside, *4)* Paranormal, *5)* Brutal Planet, *6)* The Eyes of Alice Cooper, *7)* Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits, *8)* Killer Normally I wouldn't include a greatest-hits album, but including that picks up many great songs from albums which are not on my list. I'd also give an honorable-mention of sorts to "Lace and Whiskey". I wouldn't claim that it's a great album, but it's a fun album that I do like a lot, and it includes a few great songs (IMO). He has other good albums, but these nine are the ones I listen to the most. Those and "A Paranormal Evening at the Olympia Paris", which of course is a live album. "Killer" should probably be higher up on the list, but for some reason I never bought it when it came out (probably a lack of money...), and several of the best songs from "Killer" are on "Greatest Hits", and I have played that an awful lot over the decades. I have the deluxe version of "Billion Dollar Babies", and had no trouble ripping it into my iTunes collection. I forget if I tracked down a special version which didn't have the DRM, or if the DRM was specific to MS-Windows. In any case, the deluxe version (all 24-songs) is available in the iTunes store, if you wanted to get it now.

@@rushbravado1972 I agree.

[@edwingarland8266]

Brilliant I am very much on board with your choice . Like the fact you rated Pretties for you Easy Action so high I would had put lace and whiskey last. Put still so good .

[@classicalbum]

Many thanks!

[@alexjohnston8889]

Haven't heard a few of these albums but I will definitely check them out

[@Gothic55]

AC is one of my favourite artists and I have seen him eight times over a thirty year period. I saw him last year in Manchester with the Hollywood vampires. I share most of your top 10.🎉🎉🎉

[@mauriciobetancourtAutor]

What 'bout Lace and Whiskey? I actually love that album.

[@mikesweet9646]

I said the same thing it's a great album

[@jonvisser1509]

@The Rain I agree love You and me on that one

[@johnholmes5925]

Like the first 3 or 4 songs. It just wasn't Alice after that

[@bernardwinn1817]

What about it? I guess it wasn’t his 10 best.

[@beatlehmann3424]

It‘s my Favorite Alice Solo Album (Except the Bands Albums)

[@doplinger1]

I won't argue with your rankings, and I love your insight into each. I do think Lace & Whiskey has to be in there somewhere, certainly ahead of From The Inside. And I would have to rank Welcome to My Nightmare as #1, not just because it was his best selling, but I really enjoy it. But then I enjoy all of his albums, I'd be hard pressed to rank them all.

[@sjames304]

My Top Three have always been - 1 - Killer 2 - Billion Dollar Babies 3 - Welcome to My Nightmare Was lucky enough to see Cooper on the "Nightmare" tour in the mid 70s....my 1st concert. He was HUGE back then.

Great video you go into alot detail about Alice. Your opinion of the movie he did with Meatloaf Roadie lol I was so excited to rent that from blockbuster video some 20 years ago only to think it was the worst thing Meatloaf and Alice ever could have done lol.

[@marcddailey]
