No no no no no not that one

I mean the original Alice Cooper band that were together from the late 60s to the mid 1970s.Forget the sad old parody of a man thats around now , forget Schools Out although it is a good song.The stuff this band recorded in the early 70s never gets the credit it derseves. Albums like Love It To Death , Killer & Billion Dollar Babies should be mandatory for anyone who likes rock or punk.It was raw , it was totally different to anything else around at the time , it was just one big **** you to the hippy generation.
Without Alice Cooper punk wouldn`t have happened. You can quote the Velvet Underground , The Stooges & Iggy at me all day long.It wasn`t any of those bands that Johnny sang at his Pistols audition.It wasn`t those bands that Dave Vainan nicked his whole stage gimmick off.

So yes , use this thread to give the Cooper band some love.And if you are coming here to say you loved the song 'Poison' you can just leave now.
