I had to revive this thread once I accidentally ran across it. The original band Alice Cooper itself, is often left completely out of the subject when most people discuss Cooper's music and career.

Alice Cooper was originally (a "band") consisting of Vincent Damon Furnier (via: Alice Cooper) on vocals and harmonica, lead guitarist Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar, and drummer Neal Smith. The original Alice Cooper band broke into the international music mainstream with the 1971 hit "I'm Eighteen" from the album Love it to Death, which was followed by the even bigger single "School's Out" in 1972. The band reached their commercial peak with the 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.

The Alice Cooper band is very underrated and often left out of the equation when the subject of Alice Cooper comes up.
Alice Cooper adopted the name of the band after they broke up and he went on to pursue a solo career.

Some of Cooper's classic rock singles include.

Welcome To My Nightmare
Under My Wheels
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Billion Dollar Babies

Are just to name a few.
