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.
It’s my top album something about that album former lee Warner and dada pass the gun around
It's my favorite solo Alice record.
The existence of 'The Ballad of Dwight Fry' means Love it Death has to be my #1, with Killer a close second.
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!
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
@Alice Cooper you are a troll. so fake!
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.
Wow
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.
"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.
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.
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
ua-cam.com/video/iJYsOrmFhF0/v-deo.html
The original BDB album artwork was magnificent. Gate fold, Push out photos, a huge Billion Dollar bill. Just awesome.
Those crazy Frank Zappa first couple of records are insane as well.. "Pretties for You" and "Easy Action".
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.
You're very well spoken - I enjoy hearing your thoughts on classic bands. Alice Cooper is an alltime favorite of mine as well.
Desperado is such a menacing song. Evokes images of Cape Fear. Killer is a killer album.
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.
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'! :-)
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 .
Boy wrere we lucky to grow up in this era .
.
love alice...saw him many times live...top ten favorite albums....
1. muscle of love
2. lace and whiskey
3. from the inside
4. billion dollar babies
5. welcome to my nightmare
6. love it to death
7. zipper catches skin
8. goes to hell
9. killer
10. easy action
there it is...for now....
peace....
rocky
interesting choices.
Most of my picks are a lot different than yours, but it's awesome you put Muscle of Love at #1. That album never gets enough respect. It's criminally underrated.
Interesting
Thanks for thinking outside the box. So many always pick the same records. This is a great list!
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.
Halo of Flies is a masterpiece! Absolutely!
That song gives me the thrills !!
Saw Alice back in 77 doing his Welcome To My Nightmare tour - Perth Entertainment Centre. Amazing show.
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.
Just found my ticket stub: Sunday, April 20th. Festival Seating, $5.50.
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
@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.
Brutal Planet is actually a really solid album. It no doubt deserve a spot on my top 10 list.
1) Killer

4) DaDa
5) Welcome to my Nightmare
6) From the Inside
7) Paranormal

Zipper catches skin? What the fuck
It's good to see "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell" in your list. Never understood the hate it gets. A top 5 Alice Cooper album for me
Awesome album from start to finish 👍
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.
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.
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.
I like the 'Brutal Planet' - 'Dragontown' combo, great lyrics and hard rock.
Definetly, great concept albums .
Love those , i still need dragontown on vniyl tho.
1. Welcome to my Nightmare
2. Goes to Hell
3. Billion Dollar Babies
4. From the Inside
5. Killer
6. Special Forces
Really David really, I take it you got into Cooper later on
1)Killer
2)Love It To Death
3)Welcome To My Nightmare
4)Billion Dollar Babies
5)From The Inside
6)Muscle Of Love
7)DaDa
8)The Last Temptation
9)Goes To Hell
10)Brutal Planet
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.
My Stars!!!, that and Hard Hearted Alice are the pinnacle of the early material.
1. Love it to Death.
2. Billion Dollar Babies
3. Welcome to my Nightmare
4. Killer
5. School's Out
6. Flush the Fashion
7. Along Came a Spider
8. Muscle of Love
9. Goes to Hell
10. Pretties for You
The order changes from time to time. Occasionally some drop. Cooper has been in solid rotation since 1976.
My Personal Top 10
1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Welcome to my Nightmare
3. From the Inside
4. School’s Out
5. Killer
6. Love it to Death
7. Eyes of Alice Cooper
8. Last Temptation
9. Dada
10. Flush the Fashion
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.....
@Alice Cooper give it up, you troll

Just found your top ten Alice Cooper list. Great choices! Been a Coop fan since 1973 and had the pleasure to meet him twice + numerous concerts. Here's my list:
1. Killer
2. Billion Dollar Babies
3. School's Out
4. Love It To Death
5. Muscle Of Love
6. Welcome To My Nightmare
7. The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
8. From The Inside
9. Flush The Fashion
10. The Last Temptation
Keep up the good work!
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.
Those top 4 are exactly mine too and in that order. So awesome.
Great video and also the review of Jethro Tull was great. Was suprised that you had A Passion Play at number 1 . Benefit is number 1 for me. Heres my ranking of Alice Cooper.
1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Love it to Death
3. Welcome to my Nightmare
4. Killer
5. From the Inside

8. Special Forces
9. Alice Cooper goes to Hell
10. Welcome 2 .....
A great list. Please subscribe and share...
I love his early 80's "cocaine" albums. All masterpieces.Give them another listen.
I should do. I used to love listening to 'Constrictor'
Yeah they have a lot of gems on them.
Lol " Life And The Death Of The Party "
@@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.
Flush the Fashion is great. The others suck, especially DaDa.

I've seen 13 of his concerts, and From the inside was my favorite by far. Still have a scar on the back of my hand from nurse Rozetta stepping on it!
You got the top 3 right for sure 👍 I'de swap over LITD and BDB
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.
Great video Barry. I love Alice and have seen him a few times. Great number 1.

Thanks for you comments. I've seen Alice about three times. love the guy.
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 !
It is a great book
You sure know your Alice Cooper! :) Great review
You should know the grave could never tame Vincent Price.
The man was a legend
I know this is weird but my favourite is Zipper Catches Skin, some of my other other favourites post 1979 are Flush The Fashion, Special Forces, Constrictor, Hey Stoopid, Brutal Planet and Paranormal.
Told you I was weird
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).
Nothing weird... We're all different and like different things in music... I'm glad you watched my video and took the time to comment.
You are joking right. These album and Alice clams not to remember.
Flush the Fashion is amazing, Pain ( i saw that live 2017 ) and Clones are such great songs
Also paranormal especially the title track is already a mordern classic
60zeller I’m not joking
The original Welcome to My Nightmare is still my favourite. I played the cassette to death when it first came out. The TV special, with Vincent Price, was also fantastic.
Cheers

I share most of your top 10.🎉🎉🎉
Great video! Went back and listened to Killer and B$B again after watching. I have to admit Last Temptation would have been up there for me... but love that Eyes of AC was included.
@Alice Cooper just go away troll.
This is a great list
I just love Alice,
I'm 23 years old and discovered Alice in 2015 and went the same year to the motley crue final tour where Alice was the special guest
Now i've seen him live 8 times and got all his albums on cd and half of them on Vinyl
He's a living legend
My favorite songs are Ballad Of Dwight Fry, Steven, Roses on white lace, Wind up toy , Pain , brutal planet , The Quiet Room
But i really love them all , he is such an underrrated song writer
Don't forget second coming off the album Love it to Death...or Wake Me Gently off Alice Goes To Hell.😉

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.
Great commentary on Alice. The feel bad decade? The Alice Cooper Group was a remarkable band. Nightmares are where our unchained dreams go to play.
great work. would love to see you look at elliott smith. his either/or album is truly an all-time great and the parallels with nick drake are there. mic city sons, his best album with his band heatmiser, is maybe too obscure but still worth a listen. he died when i was 8 but he's always been important to me in death

Been watching Barry's contemporary videos for a while now, thought I'd dig back a few years. Apparently this video was made during Barry's cocaine period, as he's speaking about 3x faster than in his later efforts! 🙂Anyway, I'm re-discovering Alice Cooper so a big thumbs up to this dusty, if speedy, old Tube video.
P.S. Dig the goatee, Barry. You should cultivate a new one, gives you that professorial Beatnik vibe.

~ been listening to cooper since I was a kid, my personal favorites are all over the place!!
"Brutal Planet" at No.1 for me. :)
Amazing Album with a killer title track, i was so happy when he opened his latest tours with it . Also Wicked young man, and Gimme are such great songs
Those songs from Brutal Planet were really leftovers from the "Last temptation" sessions.
@@stephensdygert7600 love those leftovers!
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.
@Alice Cooper There you go again, give it up, you troll.
GREAT EPISODE!
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.
1) Brutal Planet
2) BDB
3) Hey Stoopid
4) Trash
5) School's Out
6) Welcome To My Nightmare
7) The Last Temptation
8) Muscle Of Love
9) Killer
10) Paranormal
Top three, NPO: From The Inside, Goes To Hell and Flush The Fashion.
Excellent review overall. My personal top 10 constantly changes but I never drop Welcome to My Nightmare 1 and 2, Eyes of Alice Cooper, School's Out, Killer and Billion Dollar Babies.
Yesss Killer is such a great record
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.
You can go to hell was originally said to be the sequel to welcome to my nightmare.
1-5…Welcome To My Nightmare
6-8…The Last Temptation
9…Brutal Planet
10…Dragon Town
Last temptation with comic book, Billion dollar babies, Love it to death, Killer, Brutal Planet, My favorite 5 albums. You must be kidding about the "eyes of Alice Cooper"
I actually prefer many of his solo albums to the original band though they are great as well. My Top 10 albums
1) The Last Temptation
2) From the Inside
3) Love it to Death
4) Welcome To My Nightmare
5) Hey Stoopid
6) Raise Your Fist and Yell
7) Brutal Planet
8) Billion Dollar Babies
9) Welcome 2 My Nightmare
10) Dada
It's very subjective. Everybody has his own top 10 AC albums.
My top 10 are :
The Last Temptation
Hey Stoopid
From the inside
Dada
Trash
Raise your fist and yell
Welcome to my nightmare
Love it to death
Brutal planet
Flush the fashion
I always related "You Gotta Dance" to "The Hustle" because it has a similarity with these messages or orders to dance. The whole "Do it! Do the Hustle!" with "Says Dance! Says you gotta dance!"
Superb review again, keep up the brilliant work.
Completely agree with your top 3 .. killer is a masterpiece. Great choice 👌
Well I have all 26 albums but I had to pic my 2 favs.would be FROM the INSIDE and which I think is an amazing album Is DaDA
Haven't heard a few of these albums but I will definitely check them out
Just found the Alice Cooper top 10 list. Welcome to My Nightmare was my first concert in '75. I became very interested in the band personnel, Dick Wagner, Prakash John, Steve Hunter, Bob Ezrin, etc. Loved their work on Rock and Roll Animal (one of my top 10 albums) and Peter Gabriel's first solo. Just wondering about any of their other works and your thoughts on their works. Cheers.

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.
I discovered Alice Cooper with "Constrictor". STILL one of my favorite albums.
Great l p 👌
Love "Constrictor", his last great album
Killer, Love It to Death, and Billion Dollar Babies are my top 3. I’m pleased to say that I saw Alice Cooper (with Blue Oyster Cult opening) in May of 1972, the month that they released School’s Out.
@Alice Cooper stop it you fake!
Having been with him from Love It To Death onwards I left him after Goes To Hell which I thought as being horrendous. Seems to being redeeming himself imo with Welcome 2 My Nightmare and Detroit Stories. Saw him on the Welcome To My Nightmare tour which was an experience I'll never forget . Shame he then produced an album "Goes To Hell" which in my eyes was so not the Alice Cooper I knew and loved.

Another great review would love to see a list of all of alice's albums ranked
Anything over 19 albums and the video would just rattle on too long, or you would have to be brief when discussing the albums.
@@classicalbum I know Alice has a lot of albums but so many of them get overlooked. I appreciate the reviews on my favorite band Rush.
@@rushbravado1972 I agree.
