Alice Cooper Studio Albums - Rankings

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Killer
3. Welcome To The Nightmare
4. From The Inside
5. Love It To Death
6. Brutal Planet
7. School's Out
8. Trash
9. Dada
10. Hey Stoopid

This is my list and could change. Give me your list. Revised it to a list of 10. He has released 26 studio albums.

 

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Killer
3. Love It To Death
4. School's Out
5. Muscle of Love
6. Pretties For You/Easy Action (I haven't listened to these in ages, so I rank them the same)

I'm not familiar enough with the rest, sorry. The ones in bold are among my favorite albums by any band.

 

1. Love it to death
2. Billion Dollar Babies
3. Killer

A huge drop in quality then occurs.

4. School's Out
5. Dada
6. Welcome to my nightmare

 

I don't really play that many Alice albums. Don't own all of his output - but based on the frequency of what I've played this last year it's:

Billion Dollar Babies
Welcome To My Nightmare
School's Out.
Love It To Death.
From The Inside
Killer
Lace & Whiskey
Goes To Hell
School Days
(and The Alice Cooper Show)

I do have 'Zipper' and 'Da Da' but hardly ever play them. Not an era of his I can particularly warm to.

 

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Killer
3. Love it To Death
4. School's Out
5. Muscle of Love
6. Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits
7. Easy Action





8. Welcome To My Nightmare













9. The rest

 

1) Billion Dollar Babies
2) Love it to Death
3) Killer
4) Welcome to My Nightmare
5) The Last Temptation
6) From the Inside
7) School's Out
8) Hey Stoopid
9) Dada
10) Trash

The Last Temptation is particularly underrated, in my opinion.

 

Welcome to My Nightmare

Billion Dollar Babies
Love it to Death
Killer


others

 

Surprised no one rates School's Out 1st yet. I think it's their best songwriting by far.

 

His later stuff doesn't seem to get much love....... the threesome of Last Temptation, Brutal Planet and Dragontown should be heard.

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Love it to Death
3. Brutal Planet
4. Killer
5. Dragontown
6. Last Temptation
7. Muscle of Love
8. School's Out
9. Welcome to My Nightmare
10. Hey Stoopid

 

Sshool's Out.
Killer.
Billion Dollar Babies.
Love It To Death.

 

"Babies" is, IMO, his most strongly-consistent album start to finish, IOW's, the LP's "average" song quality is better than any of his other albums.

But, it lacks that killer cut, that all-time classic, like a "School's Out" or an "18", much like Aerosmith's "Rocks" (about which I feel similar within their catalog) lacks a "Walk This Way" or "Dream On". And without that hook-song to pull me in, I don't find myself listening to it very much.

 

I haven't heard the solo Alice Cooper albums, so I will only rate the band albums.

1. Easy Action
2. Killer
3. Love It To Death
4. Billion Dollar Babies
5. Muscle Of Love
6. School's Out

Even though I put School's Out at #6, that doesn't mean it sucks at all.

I don't know what it is about Easy Action, but the more I listen to that album, the more I love it.

I've never heard Pretties For You, so it's unranked.

 

Respectfully, no killer cut? Now, are we talking single? Because it looks like that is what you are saying? Walk this Way never charted as a single and Dream On initially only charted at 59. Re released it did better though. I'm sorry but No More Mister Nice Guy, Elected, Hello, Hurray or Billion Dollar Babies are not killer cuts? Three of the four were top 35 singles. Not great, but pretty good. Well, to me, those are the strongest four on any Alice album. So, we will agree to disagree politely..........

 

Love it to death
Killer
Billion Dollar Babies
Schools Out

 

Oh, absolutely agree. I was just pointing out singles that were released. I mean does Generation Landslide lyrics still hold it's own today? Sick Things, Raped and Freezin, Unfinished Sweet..........a brilliant album with some of the best goodies in the original vinyl I ever had as a kid..........

 

Raped and freezin' is an incredible album track. Completely agree.

 

For the albums I care most about:

Killer
Love It To Death
Billion Dollar Babies
Schools Out
Muscle Of Love

 

Killer
Love It To Death
School's Out
Pretties For You
Billion$ Babies
Lace and Whiskey

 

Billion Dollar Babies
Killer
School's Out
Love It To Death
Welcome To My Nightmare
Muscle of Love

 

I would probably rank them as follows:

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. Killer
3. Love It To Death
4. Welcome To My Nightmare
5. School's Out
6. Brutal Planet
7. The Last Temptation
8. Hey Stoopid
9. Trash
10. DaDa
11. From The Inside
12. Muscle Of Love
13. Dirty Diamonds
14. The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
15. Alice Cooper Goes To Hell
16. Dragontown
17. Along Came A Spider
18. Easy Action
19. Pretties For You
20. Welcome 2 My Nightmare
21. Lace And Whiskey
22. Special Forces
23. Zipper Catches Skin
24. Raise Your First And Yell
25. Constrictor
26. Flush The Fashion

 

We have a disagreement of opinion about whether "Babies" has any killer cuts on it, but just FYI, "Walk This Way" did chart as a single, it reached #10 as a re-release in early 1977.

 

Nice list

 

Billion Dollar Babies is Alice's only #1 album. The thing is loaded with killer cuts.
His greatest hits album features more songs from Billion Dollar Babies than any other album.
