    Do you own Billion Dollar Babies - the big Alice Cooper classic from the 70's?
    Besides this album what do you own out of the Alice Cooper albums discography?

    How many copies of 'Babies' do you have now? And in which format?
    How many copies of this album have you owned over the years? And in which format?

    "All officially recorded and released Alice Cooper"

    Alice is pretty high on my favorite artists list.

    I have everything from Pretties up to Dirty Diamonds, but I really only listen to the original band stuff along with the Goes to Hell album. I bought the deluxe edition CD with the live concert (which is why I wanted it in the first place) when it was released and gave away the old one. I bought the original LP when it was released, too. Long gone.

    I have love it to death through to zipper catches skin. I love that early band stuff, but i thought that the solo years produced diamonds also. Lost touch with him in the mid eighties i guess. I was going to get last temptation and brutal planet, but i just never got around to it.

    I skip the era from Constrictor through Brutal Planet, but pretty much everything else. The last couple have been a refreshing return to form (Ezrinish).

    I like this album a lot. It's one of my Dad's favourite albums and I've grown up hearing it. No bad tracks at all but my favourite has always been the superb Generation Landslide.

    By Alice Cooper I have:

    Love It To Death (early Warners green label UK pressing)
    Killer (original UK pressing with attached 1972 calendar)
    School's Out (original UK pressing, sadly without the panties inner!)
    Billion Dollar Babies (original UK pressing - complete with dollar bill and all cards still attached)
    Muscle of Love (original US pressing complete in box)

    A fantastic run of albums. Great band.

    Billion Dollar Babies is my favourite Alice Cooper album. I've got an original 1973 UK vinyl pressing with all the goodies, the Rhino 2CD and the Audio Fidelity SACD. Other Alice Cooper releases in my collection? On vinyl, I've only got School's Out (with panties!) and Greatest Hits (1974) but I've got all the Audio Fidelity CDs and also The Life and Crimes of... 4CD comp.

    I've got this '71 ~ 74 run all on first or early WB:

    Love It To Death
    Killer
    School's Out
    Billion Dollar Babies

    Love 'em all, but I'd have to say Killer is my favourite.

    I have Billion Dollar Babies and some of his other CDs, which I just bought a couple months ago. The only Alice Cooper albums I've ever owned.

    All essential music by Alice Cooper, but I mean the band. So to me that's Love It to Death thru Babies

    Never really been into or knew much about A.C. (the man or band) except Friday the 13th soundtrack and he was a big golfer in Arizona, radio host, and Christian. Recently found used, worn, $1 copies of Love It To Death, Schools Out, Killer, Billion Dollar Babies & Greatest Hits. Babies really caught my ear on first listen, transferred to cd & phone, and have really gotten into it. I think I've listened to the others perhaps only once or twice.

    I voted 'All Essential'. Basically everything up until 'Goes to Hell' and most of what came after 'On The Inside' until 'Constrictor'.

    Yes!

    I have two on vinyl, an original 1973 copy and even have the gorgeous (is that the right word to use for anything Alice?) Rhino release released as part of the Rocktober series. I also have the deluxe digipak-style CD with the bonus concert CD and a mini-sleeve version from the Alice catalogue box.

    I responded "yes" to "all officially released Alice Cooper albums" (perhaps incorrectly), but my mind always automatically takes that to mean the band. Solo Alice is really a whole other fun but less "essential" venture in my view. :)

    LP (still have the Billion Dollar bill) and CD. Not my favourite, but my last favourite Alice Cooper album.

    Yeah, only the Alice Cooper Band is Alice Cooper to me.

    Alice Cooper have/has been my favourite band/artist, since I first stumbled across them in a Sounds music mag (Detroit special) article, Summer 1971.

    I have all the 15 Warner Brothers studio albums, plus half a dozen later studio efforts (I'm much more objective/critical re his post '86 records); a handful of live albums; couple of greatest hits; Super Duper deluxe set; a few DVDs.

    Bought BDB the day it was released. Got the original vinyl; 2002 deluxe remaster; single CD, as part of 1969-'83 box set. Also have the Good To See You Again DVD, which contains live footage of the 1973 BDB tour.

    It's a vital part of the band's Ezrin-produced quintessential quartet; although the album ranks 4th in my Alice top ten.

    Final album song, I Love The Dead, is my all-time favourite Cooper track.
