Alice Cooper Albums Ranked

Alice Cooper was an American rock band formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964. The band consisted of lead singer Vince Furnier (stage name Alice Cooper), Glen Buxton (lead guitar), Michael Bruce (rhythm guitar, keyboards), Dennis Dunaway (bass guitar), and Neal Smith (drums). Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and has had a solo career under that name since the band became inactive in 1975. The band was notorious for their elaborate, theatrical shock rock stage shows. In 2011, the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After years of obscurity, the Alice Cooper band rose to fame in 1971 with the hit single “I’m Eighteen” and the album Love It to Death. Success continued with the popular single “School’s Out” and the album of the same name in 1972. The band peaked in popularity in 1973 with their next album Billion Dollar Babies and its tour, which broke box-office records previously held by The Rolling Stones. Here are all of Alice Cooper’s albums ranked.

10. Brutal Planet (2000)

“I would say most of the songs are styled in the Industrial Metal vein, and they are so thick, grinding and heavy you’d think you were listening to Rob Zombie before Alice starts singing. For me, many of Cooper’s songs are a little too preachy but I love them just the same. Alice’s sick sense of humor couples well with an almost “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” approach to the songs, but his is more of an “ah go ahead, I don’t care what happens” sense. Sanctuary is a song on this album that I highly recommend, though there are many more Alice anthems to choose from. Great album.”

9. Hey Stoopid (1991)

“Probably my favorite Alice Cooper album, which goes against the trend I’m sure, but just my personal opinion, it’s an album of his I’ve definitely listened to the most, it’s worth checking out for the catchy tracks and hidden gems that appear on this album.
If all you’ve ever heard from this band is the track ‘Poison’ then all I ask of you is to give this album a listen and judge for yourself, as even without that track is on it, it’s still a fantastic record!”

8. Killer (1971)

“It’s nice and weighty and as I haven’t heard the original in so long I can’t weigh in on its sonic merit vs. the original pressing. What I can say is – I am VERY happy to have this album in my possession again. Desperado, Under my Wheel, Dead Babies, Halo of Flies, Killer… all absolute classics, and seriously this album must be regarded as a precursor to Goth with the theatrics and dark imagery in the lyrics.”

7. The Last Temptation (1994)

“This is a great concept album that I of course have already had on CD since its release in 1994, but I just had to add this to my Alice Cooper vinyl collection as well. This is part one of the trilogy that was followed by Brutal Planet and concluded with Dragontown and features the return of Steven who first appeared on Welcome To My Nightmare and his story was continued on Alice Cooper Goes To Hell. He briefly reappeared on Hey Stoopid which preceded The Last Temptation. Every true Alice Cooper fan should own this album! Buy it as soon as you can!!”

6. Raise Your Fist and Yell (1987)

“This was my favorite period of Alice’s career – the mid-late 1980’s when he made several popular and successful albums, and this was one of them. This is a great album, and whether you’re a life-long fan or new to Alice, this is an album that should be in your collection.”

5. Trash (1989)

“Great album, my first hard rock cd and venture into this genre. Alice Coopers musicianship is inspiring and brilliant. I enjoyed the songs and surprisingly could hear and distinguish the words! Well mostly anyway. Highly recommended.”

4. Love It to Death (1971)

“I owned this album on vinyl many years ago & it is so good to hear it again. The lyrics are more perceptive & witty than I recall, the music is classic Alice Cooper when the band was truly at it’s best. The Ballad of Dwight Fry never gets old. Great stuff. I would recommend this to anyone who likes good rock music.”

3. Billion Dollar Babies (1973)

“OMG what can I say. This was the first AC album I bought back in the 70’s when I was a teenager and still playing it to this day. Every track is brilliant. Can’t make up my mind which is my favourite album out of Billion Dollar Babies or Killer Can remember thinking what an amazing cover, green wallet very original. My favourites are Raped & Freezin, Unfinished Sweet & the classic No more Mr Nice Guy. Gotta play it loud. Would never have believed 40 years ago that my granddaughter would now be a great fan of Alice Cooper. She asks for this to be played whenever she comes round. Bit of brain washing going on here!”

2. Goes To Hell (1976)

“I’m a big fan of Alice, and this album doesn’t disappoint. I don’t know which order his albums were made in, so the sequence of what came before what runs off my back. What we’ve got here is the music, and it’s good. Over forty years old, and it’s still chock full of rocking, scary tales told in a way that only Alice Cooper can tell. Go to Hell and I never Cry are still played live. Lots of quirky, humorous lyrics, and tight rock music to accompany. Alice fans will know it’s not all metal, but it is all Alice.”1.

1. Welcome to My Nightmare (1975)

“This is classic rock n roll. A 1975 album masterpiece produced by Bob Ezrin. You definitely got to listen to this record before you die. It is pretty intense. The song Steven is a nice horror experience. The other night I heard it with no lights, just a couple of candles and it gave me the chills when Alice started calling Steven. Musically it is divine and tracks such as The Black Widow and Department of Youth are exquisite rock tunes. Be a part of Alice nightmare it’ll be fun. “Steeveeeen, Steeveeeen…”
