I love Special Forces, Zipper, Flush the Fashion and DaDa. Loads of great stuff in there. It kind of points to Vince's talent that he could create some brilliant music whilst completely off his face!
I enjoy your ranking and your take on things. Funny, I'm much older than you and my ranking is MUCH different. It's fun to hear a newer generation's interpretation. Thanks for sharing.
This is exactly what I was thinking as I was listening to him. Some of my ranking would be quite different, and I think it is mainly a generational perspective. Alice has a huge discography, it's difficult to 'rank' some of this material.
1.Billion Dollar Babies 2.Muscle of Love 3. Love ist to Death 4. Killer 5. Easy Action 6. School‘s Out 7. Lace and Whiskey 8. Special Forces 9. Zipper Catches Skin 10. From the Inside
I'm 68 years old and Easy Action was in my high school days. It was the only 8 track I played in my 65 Chevy van with portholes and surfboard racks. lol For a long time Alice was all I played in that van. Sold the van just before Killer was released so Under my wheels was what I played in my V8 Vega. I'll admit I enjoyed how much his music shocked the "straights".
I can't believe this lineup 😢 I've been a Alice Cooper fan since the early 70s and I've heard every album and have gone to multiple Cooper concerts over the years, I've even met Alice and the original band. Everyone has their opinion and taste in music but I think your way off.😊
1. Love it to Death 2. Killer 3. School's Out 4. Billion Dollar Babies 5. Easy Action 6. The Last Temptation 7. DADA 8. Welcome to My Nightmare 9. Special Forces 10. Dirty Diamonds. Worst is a 3 way tie between Constrictor, Detroit Stories, and Lace and Whiskey.
Special Forces, Zipper Catches skin and DaDa are great albums (skeletons in the closet, scrooge’s song and scarlet and sheba are elite songs) And Dragontown and the Last Temptation tie as my favorites :)
This list is ALL over the place! I'm not going to shit on it, cause at least it's pretty unique. I can't see how anyone can justify putting Killer and Babies so low. Also, is Brutal Planet THAT different from Dragontown?!? I'm with you on From The Inside tho bro
“Is Brutal Planet THAT different from Dragontown?!?” That depends on in what way you’re asking. If we’re talking about the general musical style and direction of both albums then no there isn’t much difference. If we’re talking about the overall strength of the songs between both albums then yes there certainly is. Brutal Planet has way stronger songs overall than Dragontown does.
Only recently discovered your channel from the Kiss reviews and now you drop this. Nice to see someone closer to my age who knows these catalogues and beyond that, shares similar opinions. Haven't given AC a proper listen in a while, I remember Brutal Planet coming out as a kid and my mum played it every chance she had, my favourite childhood album next to Kiss' Revenge. Need to give Eyes of Alice Cooper another go I only heard it in full once, liked it but nothing stuck with me despite the solid production and the humour you mentioned.
I enjoyed the video even if I don't agree with your rankings but that might just be because I'm an old guy and bought School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies when they were first released. Oddly I have a newfound appreciation for muscle of love and to share a funny story I purchased Welcome To My Nightmare and Alice Cooper Goes to Hell on eight track and it wasn't until I bought Lace and Whiskey on vinyl that I found out the band had changed haha. Keep up the good work
Brutal Planet was the first new Alice album I listened to, it was my first concert when I was 10, so it definitely holds a place in my heart. My top 5 would be: 5. Hey Stoopid 4. Last Temptation 3. Killer 2. Eyes of Alice Cooper 1. Brutal Planet
In my opinion, Alice Cooper before 1986 with the album Constructor was a totally different style, if I enjoyed those albums like Easy Action or Billion Dollar Babies... But after 86 he made his music and his style that made him led to more success
I really appreciate you doing this list and while I disagree with your rankings, I am happy to hear from another Alice Cooper fan. Obviously I would put the Classic 4 first, LITD, Killer, SO, BDB. I would put your first last. I totally agree with you with the eyes of Alice Cooper. I saw him last month and he’s as great as ever! Have you had a chance to see him this year?
1. Love It to death 2. Muscle of Love 3. Killer 4. Billion Dollar Babies 5. Schools out 6. Go to hell 7. Welcome to my nightmare 8 lace and whiskey 9. Trash 10. Hey stupid
Your top two are totally top 5 material. I agree Brutal Planet is definitely his heaviest one. Of course I have a lot of different opinions on the rest of the ranking but my experience with Alice is a bit different from yours. Way to put this out there 👍
I agree with most of your list, however Special forces and especially Flush the fashion need to be much higher. SF has Who do you think we are, Prettiest cop on the block, Skeletons in the closet & Vicious rumors - 4 solid hits. The rest can't keep quite up but it's still good (minus the unneccessary Generation landslide re-recording). Flush the fashion is fun from start to end and my fav, tied with Constrictor. I agree he should re-record some of this stuff. I would put both Along came a spider and School's out lower - both have barely any memorable songs IMO. Thanks for the effort you put into this list, take care :)
School’s Out has barely any memorable songs? Are you high? My Stars, Luney Tune, Blue Turk, School’s Out, Gutter Cats Vs. the Jets. That album is full of great songs with the second to last track “Alma Mater” being the only weak song in the whole lot
sean’s list 10 along came a spider 09 welcome 2 my nightmare 08 love it to death 07 constrictor 06 the last temptation 05 trash 04 the eyes of alice cooper 03 welcome to my nightmare 02 from the inside 01 brutal planet
I'm happy you had From the Inside so high up the list but Da Da and Flush are amazing. Essentially anything with Hunter/Wager or just Wagner was excellent. From a musician standpoint I'd argue they were the most talented.
I think you being younger is why your list is going to be different than most us long time Alice fans from the 70’s and 80’s. Tho I love all eras after the first two albums and blackout period. Love Brutal Planet as well definitely his heaviest. Interesting you have it at No. 1 and Dragontown at 22. Brutal and Dragon have a similar sound and feel to them. Quite a difference for you tho. I would think you would have Dragon at least in the top 10
I love your list! Glad to see Brutal Planet at #1, disappointed at Billion Dollar Babies, and I respect your opinion of his lost years. I think Constrictor and Raise Your First and Yell are more like twins, separated by a year... Curious, though, where you you insert The Alice Cooper Show? Thanks for your channel!
Love Alice but man he sure does have some stinkers! I would agree with your overall assessment although Killer and Billion Dollar Baby's would have a far better ranking on my list
1. Dada 2. From The Inside 3. Billion Dollar Babies 4. Raise Your Fist And Yell 5. Killer 6. Brutal Planet 7. Love It To Death 8. Detroit Stories 9. School’s Out 10. Dirty Diamonds 11. Dragontown 12. Hey Stoopid 13. Welcome 2 My Nightmare 14. The Last Temptation 15. Zipper Catches Skin 16. Welcome To My Nightmare 17. Lace And Whiskey 18. Paranormal 19. Constrictor 20. Special Forces 21. The Eyes Of Alice Cooper 22. Flush The Fashion 23. Along Came A Spider 24. Trash 25. Muscle Of Love 26. Pretties For You 27. Alice Cooper Goes To Hell 28. Easy Action
Only have up to 1982 but heard a few tracks after without being impressed except obvious highlights. There's a reason critics + almost everyone loves the classic era (1971 to '75, muscle always hated). Late seventies are pretty good and even pre-1983 interested at very least. #1 is either first nightmare or billion.
I don’t agree with the rankings on this list at all , no way is trash #5 or brutal planet #1 and welcome 2 my nightmare 2 is a turd 💩 of an album and you have it at #9 ? Killer and billion dollar babies ranked way to low , this is like me making an all time kiss albums rankings and putting hot in the shade and crazy nights #1 and #2 and putting destroyer, love gun and rock and roll over outside the top 15 ,I don’t agree at all , only one I agree on is pretties for you and easy action definitely the bottom two
i personally think you have to tie Brutal Planet and Welcome To My Nightmare.... And The Last Temptation... And DaDa... And Billion Dollar Babies... And, well you get the idea.
Pretties for you is not random and annoying,you just don’t understand! And easy action boring? Ok I can’t trust your opinion at all now. Mr. & Misdemeanor is amazing,below your means is one of my favorite Cooper group songs ,return of the spiders,I fkn loved this shit since I was 10 in 77.
Hey Brother. We certainly hear Alice Cooper differently! For me the greatest part of his discography is the early 80s: Flush the Fashion to DaDa. (Ok. So he doesn't remember anything. Bowie didn't remember making some mid 70s masterpieces.) I love this era b/c it is a wonderful mix of new wave (current) and glam (past). Nice that we agree on Clones being an excellent song. It's probably my fave from Alice Cooper and my #10 for 1980 - an extremely competitive year. I will come back to see what you have on the top but I am assuming its early/mid 70s.
@@christopherbingham5092 I will definitely be getting to the 70s next but I wanted to go through the 80s and 90s first as its my favorite era. So far i like every song. My least favorite is only my heart talking. My favorite song is cleansed by fire.
It's not easy to rank 28 albums. I'm guessing very few people know all the albums very well. That's the problem with a huge catalog. In some ways a more compact discography is better but as a fan it can be fun to discover hidden gems even on albums you don't care too much for. I think Alice Cooper has released many good songs but I think the albums are hit and miss.. Like you hint at talking about "Hey Stoopid". Some songs are just too strange or average. I feel like he/they sometimes just don't put that much effort into it either. Just like "here is some old b-side we can change a bit, right guys? Sure! That's track number seven". Offcourse hard to write 100's of classics songs but still. Have a great one!
This is a very strange ranking, don’t know where to start. The classics Billion dollar babies and killers outside the top ten and the very average Along Came a Spider ahead of them? That stood out the most. I’d have Paranormal a lot higher too, for me it’s his best of the last 20 years. The one thing I liked is where you put Constrictor and your bottom two. Anyway my number 1 is Zipper Catches Skin so that’s just as weird. By the way it’s not new wave really, Flush The Fashion is, Zipper is more straight ahead rock, give it another listen
I like his ranking. I like that he didn't pick the "Usual Suspects" as his top albums ("School's Out"; "Billion Dollar Babies" "Love it to Death", etc.)
I enjoyed your ranking. Probably agree with about half to two-thirds of it, but for me Dragontown is #2, right behind Brutal Planet, which is definitely #1. Also, I would rank Killer much higher, right with Love It To Death. They were played endlessly in my early 1970s years and always made the moment. Not much after Dragontown that I care for. I always seem to find his albums, throughout his career, a mix of mediocre to excellent songs, with at least one that I would have preferred leaving off. The Mars song is superb, and the whole Lost in America album is probably #3 in my book. Thanks again for the post.
Interesting list. But what do you mean, The Eyes of Alice Cooper isn’t in Spotify? It is, at least on my German Spotify account! My favorite changes depending on my mood. But often it’s Welcome to my Nightmare.
This list is 🤯. That's why we all have our own rankings. I love from the inside and brutal planet but to put the early classic 70s albums so low is very unpopular. This is coming from an 80s hard rocker too haha. My unpopular opinion...I may be the only one that doesn't like the eyes of alice cooper the songs just don't do it for me really.
@@christopherbingham5092 him being good or bad at whatever style is subjective. I know that me being a fervent Cooper fan I love a lot of his albums that maybe some fans don’t like and I am in contact w many other fans that agree. I’m glad that you are picking up Sean’s case Pro bono as his defense attorney. Edit ,who are you to determine if someone is good at another style ? And I don’t trust your opinion anyway because you seem to be limited in your view of what Alice is capable of.
Killer was the best and the others are below. Listened to killer on FM when it was released. They played the whole record and had to get it. Seen him on his killer tour in FL for about probably $6-$8 back then at the age of 16. Different time back then. Yes long hair freak flag. I never cared for his later stuff. Sounds dated now but back then it was new and great. You were not around back then so it would sound dated. After killer music was changing and just not interested anymore.
Was introduced 2 Alice @10yro @ '81 TN State Fair concert. Saw The Nightmare Returns '86, & n '87. '86 best setlist I've seen/heard, by '87 I was DONE! EVERYTHING AFTER '86/SOBRIETY IS TOTAL SHIT!
Hey, it’s great you’re an Alice fan and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, classic Alice Cooper Band albums like Killer cannot be ranked below Brutal Planet!! Dude, Alice had no business trying to be Rob Zombie. That industrial metal sound is horrible! Well, that’s my rant. God Bless and rock on.
couldnt agree with you more about the eyes of alice cooper. everything after that was over produced and too polished, resulting in no punch to them and very muddy sounding. shame because there was some great riffs on them..
@@christopherbingham5092 Michael Bruce told me personally that he did like that album and sometimes Artist don’t like an album that a fan likes,it’s a great Rock album just not as theatrical which you can’t handle.
@@christopherbingham5092 he was working on my friends film doing the soundtrack and knocked on my door in Los Feliz California we spent a whole day together even ate in n out burgers and he told me I can film the whole thing. He signed my book that he wrote and cds and told me stories of the 60s Laurel Canyon days when the Cooper band and Pink Floyd either roomed together or hung out a lot and great Jim Morrison stories too and mailed me his solo albums later. Believe what you want .
Hey Hey Hey …Hey Bro how the fk is Constrictor that doesn’t even have a real drummmer better then every single orig Alice Cooper group album are you kidding me ? Am I watching Sat Nigjt live right now hahaha , Your top 5 is maybe the most ridiculous ive ever seen as a life king Alice fan since 1972 you obviously don’t get it , but I guess everyone has the right to bad taste , I’d love to hear your kiss rankings Hot in the shade is # 1 rigjt I mean it doesn’t have a drummer haha , it’s ok…WoW
Love the list, although I disagree with many of your assessments. Constrictor is not a good album at all, Trash is overrated and generic, and Hey Stoopid is anemic. From the Inside is great, but top 3? Brutal Planet number one? Uh... Also, I love the blackout albums, and Killer and BDB are my top two AC albums, but hey, we all have our preferences!
Special forces is underrated
It’s far from the worst
I love Special Forces, Zipper, Flush the Fashion and DaDa. Loads of great stuff in there. It kind of points to Vince's talent that he could create some brilliant music whilst completely off his face!
From the inside is my #1. Welcome to my nightmare #2. Brutal planet #3
David Bowie had his "Berlin" trilogy; Alice Cooper has his "Blackout" trilogy." Classic.
Coincidentally I was in my "Blackout" period at the same time. 😵
I enjoy your ranking and your take on things. Funny, I'm much older than you and my ranking is MUCH different. It's fun to hear a newer generation's interpretation. Thanks for sharing.

Your top two are totally top 5 material. I agree Brutal Planet is definitely his heaviest one.
Of course I have a lot of different opinions on the rest of the ranking but my experience with Alice is a bit different from yours. Way to put this out there 👍
You need to do Acid someday. The FIRST TWO are EXTREMELY CREATIVE.
I agree with most of your list, however Special forces and especially Flush the fashion need to be much higher. SF has Who do you think we are, Prettiest cop on the block, Skeletons in the closet & Vicious rumors - 4 solid hits. The rest can't keep quite up but it's still good (minus the unneccessary Generation landslide re-recording). Flush the fashion is fun from start to end and my fav, tied with Constrictor. I agree he should re-record some of this stuff. I would put both Along came a spider and School's out lower - both have barely any memorable songs IMO. Thanks for the effort you put into this list, take care :)
School’s Out has barely any memorable songs? Are you high? My Stars, Luney Tune, Blue Turk, School’s Out, Gutter Cats Vs. the Jets. That album is full of great songs with the second to last track “Alma Mater” being the only weak song in the whole lot

Yeah I can’t explain it either. Dragontown just does nothing for me.
In all due respect, no one under 40 has the credentials to try such a list.
I love your list! Glad to see Brutal Planet at #1, disappointed at Billion Dollar Babies, and I respect your opinion of his lost years.

There's a reason critics + almost everyone loves the classic era (1971 to '75, muscle always hated).

Pretties for you is not random and annoying,you just don’t understand!

look at him in his clones live vid he is totally fucked up i mean he looks like one step from the grave! truly amazing!
YES!! I LOVE FROM THE INSIDE
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes,however Dragontown is a top 5 album IMHO, I will say that Disgraceland doesnt fit on this album
It's not easy to rank 28 albums. I'm guessing very few people know all the albums very well. That's the problem with a huge catalog. In some ways a more compact discography is better but as a fan it can be fun to discover hidden gems even on albums you don't care too much for.

This is a very strange ranking, don’t know where to start. The classics Billion dollar babies and killers outside the top ten and the very average Along Came a Spider ahead of them? That stood out the most. I’d have Paranormal a lot higher too, for me it’s his best of the last 20 years.

Strongly disagree that BDB sits at #14. They became mega stars and really found their voices on this album. This is certainly top 3.

This list is 🤯. That's why we all have our own rankings. I love from the inside and brutal planet but to put the early classic 70s albums so low is very unpopular. This is coming from an 80s hard rocker too haha. My unpopular opinion...I may be the only one that doesn't like the eyes of alice cooper the songs just don't do it for me really.
Love it to death
Dirty Diamonds is killer garage stripped down gold
My new number 1
Couldn't disagree with your list more. Enjoyed hearing your opinions though.
How can you not appreciate flush ? Jeez
@@christopherbingham5092 he was exploring different musical styles like Bowie ,open minded which you’re not .
@@christopherbingham5092 him being good or bad at whatever style is subjective.
I know that me being a fervent Cooper fan I love a lot of his albums that maybe some fans don’t like and I am in contact w many other fans that agree.
I’m glad that you are picking up Sean’s case Pro bono as his defense attorney.
Edit ,who are you to determine if someone is good at another style ?
And I don’t trust your opinion anyway because you seem to be limited in your view of what Alice is capable of.
You're not a true alice cooper fan if you don't like the first two albums or the early 80s albums
Killer was the best and the others are below. Listened to killer on FM when it was released. They played the whole record and had to get it. Seen him on his killer tour in FL for about probably $6-$8 back then at the age of 16. Different time back then. Yes long hair freak flag. I never cared for his later stuff. Sounds dated now but back then it was new and great. You were not around back then so it would sound dated. After killer music was changing and just not interested anymore.
Was introduced 2 Alice @10yro @ '81 TN State Fair concert. Saw The Nightmare Returns '86, & n '87. '86 best setlist I've seen/heard, by '87 I was DONE! EVERYTHING AFTER '86/SOBRIETY IS TOTAL SHIT!
Very based
Wtf ??? Special forces is brilliant
🔥Nice to meet you, thanks for the interesting videos🔥
You dont like Halo of Flies?
Hey, it’s great you’re an Alice fan and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, classic Alice Cooper Band albums like Killer cannot be ranked below Brutal Planet!! Dude, Alice had no business trying to be Rob Zombie. That industrial metal sound is horrible! Well, that’s my rant. God Bless and rock on.
couldnt agree with you more about the eyes of alice cooper. everything after that was over produced and too polished, resulting in no punch to them and very muddy sounding. shame because there was some great riffs on them..
How the fk do you put killer ,billion and school in the teens beat by hey stupid? Unbelievable
I love pretties for you!! ❤
Ok Detroit Stories is hands down the worst , I'd almost rather Pretties for you lol
Ok it’s official,you’re not a real Alice fan ,you don’t get it ,you kinda like him .
Muscle of love is just ok? Wtf
@@christopherbingham5092 Michael Bruce told me personally that he did like that album and sometimes Artist don’t like an album that a fan likes,it’s a great Rock album just not as theatrical which you can’t handle.
@@christopherbingham5092 he was working on my friends film doing the soundtrack and knocked on my door in Los Feliz California we spent a whole day together even ate in n out burgers and he told me I can film the whole thing.
He signed my book that he wrote and cds and told me stories of the 60s Laurel Canyon days when the Cooper band and Pink Floyd either roomed together or hung out a lot and great Jim Morrison stories too and mailed me his solo albums later.
Believe what you want .
Hey Hey Hey …Hey Bro how the fk is Constrictor that doesn’t even have a real drummmer better then every single orig Alice Cooper group album are you kidding me ? Am I watching Sat Nigjt live right now hahaha , Your top 5 is maybe the most ridiculous ive ever seen as a life king Alice fan since 1972 you obviously don’t get it , but I guess everyone has the right to bad taste , I’d love to hear your kiss rankings Hot in the shade is # 1 rigjt I mean it doesn’t have a drummer haha , it’s ok…WoW
where there is a lot of light, there is also a lot of darkness. alice made a ton of great songs, but also some really crappy ones.
Thankfully far more great ones than crappy ones
With such ranking I guess you missed the whole point huh

Love the list, although I disagree with many of your assessments. Constrictor is not a good album at all, Trash is overrated and generic, and Hey Stoopid is anemic. From the Inside is great, but top 3? Brutal Planet number one? Uh... Also, I love the blackout albums, and Killer and BDB are my top two AC albums, but hey, we all have our preferences!
I love Constrictor. If you grew up in the 80s you’d get it
@Adam Massacre I prefer Constrictor
Wrong, wrong, wrong
😂
Yikes, who is this Bozo!!!!
If "Love it to Death" ain't number ONE the list is useless.
Killer at Number 15!!! Are you insane?
