Alice Cooper didn’t just make music; he crafted a world of glam-drenched rebellion and theatrical chaos. Whether you were a misfit teen, a rock fanatic, or someone who loved music with a sinister edge, Alice Cooper was there to blow your mind. Let’s crank the volume and dive into the top three albums that turned Alice Cooper into a legend.

#3: School’s Out (1972)

This is the album that made every teenager want to shred their report cards and set their schools ablaze (metaphorically… mostly). The title track is a snarling anthem of liberation that still makes classrooms tremble. But this album isn’t just about one song—tracks like “Gutter Cat vs. The Jets” and “Alma Mater” mix glam rock with razor-sharp social commentary. It’s a middle finger to conformity, gift-wrapped in power chords.

#2: Killer (1971)

Before Alice Cooper became a household name, they were a band carving their path with albums like Killer. This record is gritty, mean, and utterly magnetic. The stomping fury of “Under My Wheels” kicks things off, while the epic “Halo of Flies” takes you on a wild, genre-blurring ride. Killer isn’t just an album—it’s a rock ’n’ roll thriller that leaves you breathless.

#1: Billion Dollar Babies (1973)

If shock rock had a throne, Billion Dollar Babies would be its crown jewel. Everything about this album screams decadence, from the gleefully twisted “I Love the Dead” to the swaggering rock perfection of “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” And let’s not forget “Elected,” a satirical masterpiece that’s still as biting today as it was in ’73. Alice Cooper went big here—bigger than anyone thought possible—and it paid off with one of the greatest albums in rock history.

Honorable Mentions?

Sure, Alice has plenty of other brilliant albums (Love It to Death, anyone?), but these three are where the band took shock rock from the underground and unleashed it on the world.
