Alice Cooper Songs 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.

20. Teenage Frankenstein (Constrictor, 1986)
“AWESOME SONG! Great Alice Cooper sound! 2nd fave song on Trash after Poison. One of my favorite songs on my favorite albums!”
19. Dead Babies (Killer, 1971)
“The lyrics just hit you as soon as it begins and the instrumental solo will slowly chill your spine. This is Alice Coopers best song! Gets me so pumped up every time!”
18. Ballad of Dwight Fry (Love It to Death, 1971)

17. Clones (We’re All) (Flush the Fashion, 1980)

16. Pick Up the Bones (Brutal Planet, 2000)
“I love this song. It really sends a strong message off of the brilliant, violence, greed, betrayal -you name it Alice sings about it and nowhere more effectively than the astonishing Pick Up The Bones. Based on real events from the 1990s ethnic killings in ex-Yugoslavia, Alice and the band build the tension slowly over increasingly horrific imagery until he bellows the chorus over screaming guitars..”
15. Man With the Golden Gun (Muscle of Love, 1973)
“The Man With the Golden Gun’ sounds like it was written straight after watching the James Bond movie but that was released in 1974, a full year after this album. Is someone psychic or is there more to this story?”
14. Steven (Welcome to My Nightmare, 1975)
“Let me start off by saying Welcome to My Nightmare is the single greatest rock album of all time for me. It’s a perfect mix of hard rock musical aggression and rock opera stage theatrics. It’s a loose concept album and played in sequence, the songs form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven.”
13. Hey, Bulldog (Butchering the Beatles: A Headbashing Tribute, 2006)
” listen to it once and then I can’t stop. This song is addicting! Love how heavy this song it. It punches you in the gut and the lyrics among his finest.”
12. Brutal Planet (Brutal Planet, 2000)
“`Brutal Planet’ largely jettisons the tongue in cheek maestro of shock rock for an approach that uses these cold harsh industrial tones to address social woes that were clearly close to Old Black Eyes’ heart as he faced the dawn of a new millennium. And in doing so, Cooper delivered one of the very best albums he has ever recorded. He ferociously heralded his second coming.”
11. Hey Stoopid (Hey Stoopid 1991)
“Another great song By Alice! I love how he says Hey Stoopid all throughout the song. It makes me laugh just a bit. I LOVE you, Alice Cooper!”
10. Halo of Flies (Killer, 1971)
“I love Halo of Flies! It sticks with you and fits perfectly with the album but still being a progressive rock song. Metal Hammer Germany choose it to the ten most important long-players of the ’70s.
9. Hell Is Living Without You (Trash, 1989)
“Hell is Living Without You” which sounds like maybe the Bon Jovi feat. one. who cares; this is a testament to what a cohesive thing Trash is rather than a heap of attempts to sound like the latest trend. it is the real thing and the value behind it is immense. I wish there was more rock like pre-my life Alice.”
8. Welcome to My Nightmare (Welcome to My Nightmare, 1975)
“The godfather of shock rock proved he wasn’t a one-sound band with this awesome tune. Jazz, Metal, Rock, & Blues are all incorporated in the song. I can’t help, but jam out to it and Dio does a great cover of it too “
7. Bed of Nails (Trash, 1989)
“Another highlight   the intro is a lot like the first song   but not as good but that  doesn’t mean the song crap its far from  it   its heavier and a lot more  sexual if you could choose alice coopers heavier track but it cant be poison make it bed of nails   “

6. Feed My Frankenstein (Hey Stoopid, 1991)
“This song has such a mega chorus and great combination instruments not to mention Nikki Sixx playing bass. This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life. I recommend you give it a listen!”.
5. Only Women Bleed (Welcome to My Nightmare, 1975)
“This song is breathtaking, I know it’s a ballad, but it’s one of the best Alice Cooper songs of all time. Long live the god of shock rock, welcome to my nightmare ALICE COOPER!”
4. I’m Eighteen (Love It to Death, 1971)
“Clocking in at just three-minutes, “Eighteen” served as Alice’s anthem for the rebellious youth of the war torn states. After the flower power sixties had faded out, the music scene was in for a major change. Alice Cooper and his long hair gang was at the front with their shock and awe stage show. Laid down with stone cold conviction, “Eighteen” was the song that millions identified with as the Alice wave washed over America.”
3. No More Mr. Nice Guy (Shocker, 1989)
“Starts with a neat little buzz-saw riff the likes of which Angus Young would build a career on, “No More Mr. Nice Guy” takes in the typical Cooper elements of vintage rock and roll meets glam rock with a dollop of often self-deprecating humour, ending up with a sharp little single which deservedly hit the UK top 10 in 1973.”
2. School’s Out (School’s Out 1972)
“School’s Out” is the perfect statement of adolescent and teenage rebelliousness for its specific moment in history.  In the United States, long before “Year-Round Schooling,” every kid got the summer off.  The last day of school was a time for the more ornery students to rip up their propagandistic textbooks, smoke Marlboro Reds in plain view of the principal, and write foul-mouthed graffiti in permanent marker ink on rust-covered lockers.”
1. Poison (Trash, 1989)
“To me, it’s hard to say whether this is a glam metal ballad or a hard-rocking hit, but it plays into both pop-metal categories excellently. It’s an engaging song, and even though Alice Cooper doesn’t have the pipes to hit high notes like most of his glam metal peers, his low, scratchy voice is effective for this song. The best part of the song is the absolutely massive chorus, where all of the harmonies come together and the soaring synths interact with the guitars and the big, empty 80s drums perfectly.”
