It Came from the ‘70s – Part 1

Largely forgotten save for their eternal rock anthem “School’s Out”, Alice Cooper remains one of the most underappreciated bands/artists of the ‘70s even though in my opinion they were one of the decade’s most influential acts. The band’s name was Alice Cooper (also the stage name of the group’s lead singer, Vincent Furnier) and the main reason for the band’s massive ‘70s success was they remembered the secret of rock music: rock is for kids- not critics- and Alice Cooper’s music was all about monster movies, junk food, teenage rebellion and alienation, having fun, and the power of imagination. Their live shows were Halloween rock carnivals featuring all the freaky stuff kids love and parents hate- and this was all before punk. Here are some of my favorite Alice Cooper songs. Enjoy!
