I like "Lace and Whiskey". Tie only song I don't really like on it is "Ubangi Stomp". The rest of the album is excellent. My favorite songs on it are "No More (Love at Your Convenience)" (Or is the "(No More) Love at Your Convenience)"? I can never remember where the parentheses go.); "King of the Silver Screen"; "You and Me" and "I Never Wrote that song". (I love when the song ends, and there's that long pause and then the saxophone solo comes in.)
@@azdh85224 You're welcome. Those are good songs. I guess the thing I didn't like about Ubangi Stomp is, I was expecting something like "Black Juju", with the African drums (Ubangi being the name of an African kingdom and all) and instead it's this rockabilly type song. I will check out the Stray Cats version.
I bought tickets to see Alice on September 18th in Gilford, New Hampshire with Ace Frehley! It is the 2nd show of the tour for Alice and first with Ace. I'm hoping and praying Alice has some special guests being the original remaining members of the Alice Cooper Band. Praying! This show is going to be epic post pandemic. Even better the venue is 20 minutes from my house!
I saw Faster Pussycat Frehley’s Comet and Alice back in 1987 in a Indianapolis. You are in for one hell of show. Ace and Cooper together on same Bill is fantastic. Have fun sir!!!!

I had Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits album back in the 70s but I wasn't a serious fan until the mid 90s when one of my neighbors left two Alice Cooper cassettes next to my door. "The Last Temptation" and "Hey Stoopid." I was surprised at how good they were and played them non stop for about a week.

@@Tib-bf8zj I think he's referencing Alice working heavily with Bernie Taupin on that album. Some people over the years have even thought that Elton's song "All the Girls Love Alice" is actually about Alice Cooper.

I feel like Sydney needs to chime in on this....if she hasn't already. Just started watching so forgive me if I jumped the gun on this comment. Kudos Pete for selecting Raise Your Fist And Yell. I take flak for it, but that's one of my faves from AC. Kane Roberts and Kip Winger helped bolster the music on that record!
'Freedom' is a Classic Alice Cooper tune with great anti-censorship lyrics. As I remember it was well-received at the time. People who diss that album are probably not Hard'n'Heavy fans.

I can't really argue with your pics....I would probably pick Special Forces for the 80s......it seems to be a sleeper pick for the diehards even though it was his blackout years.....lots of catchy tunes and I find myself playing it quite a bit even to this day.....thanks for the spotlight on AC....oh I would pick Eyes of AC for that decade... excellent record !
Strange that Alice should say he has no memory of making these so-called 'blackout' albums, I'd think these hard rock gems were made for horror movie fans when reading the ingenious lyrics. They're very visual, pretty much every song on Zipper Catches Skin is movie related.
70's - Love it to Death 80's - Raise Your Fist and Yell (so many memories) 90's - Hey Stoopid 00's - Dirty Diamonds 10's - Paranormal 20's - Detroit Stories
I remember seeing Alice Cooper at Memorial Coliseum in Ft Wayne Indiana in the eighties. The opening acts were Frehley's Comet and Faster Pussycat. My friend and I waited at the barricade in the parking area to see if we could meet Alice. Well, I still kinda feel bad because Faster Pussycat approached us asking if we wanted a photo or autographs. We said no thank you, we were waiting for Alice. They said "We get that a lot."
Good morning (or afternoon, evening, or night), Pete. Another great choice for the Decades series. As you said, Pretties For You is the default 60s choice. For the 1970s. Billion Dollar Babies. Killer would be my second [as the introduction to the band] but Billion Dollar Babies came out the year of my high school graduation. Loved it then and love it now. It still is the Alice Cooper album which is reached for the most. The 80s? Going with Trash here as Alice closes out the 80s with a gangbuster album and even puts a single out to lead the album. 90s. The Last Temptation. The underlying theme of the album resonates for me and the tracks are mostly great. The Double-Naughts? Along Came A Spider. 2010s. Paranormal for all the reasons you already discussed. 2020s Again, by default.. Detroit Stories but hoping more to come. Looking forward to the shows of the remaining bands you have in mind for this series. Thanks again, Pete.
Though most of the 70s albums have much better songs and are more classic, Muscle of Love is my favorite in regards to a top to bottom listen in the 70s. Constrictor is not only my fave 80s album by him, but one of my top 5 fave albums of all time. Hey Stooped for the 90s, and Welcome 2 My Nightmare was a great return to form with Ezrin doing amazing production job of mixing of old and new sounds, not to mention the 3 cool songs with the original group and a fantastic re-teaming with Dick Wagner in that of one of Alice's best ballads.
Hey guys! Here are my picks: 1960's: Pretties For You 1970's: From The Inside 1980's: Trash (a HAIR over Constrictor)! 1990's: Hey Stoopid 2000's: Along Came A Spider 2010's: Welcome 2 My Nightmare 2020's: Detroit Stories Like Pete mentioned, sometimes it's hard to completely match our schedules, but it was nice to know that so many of you missed me on this episode haha! Love seeing everyone's picks here in the comments. 🤗
60s pretties for you 70s billion dollar babies 80s trash Apart from the 3 decades I am not the biggest fan. But killer is my second pick from 70s As you said killer is really dark and gothic which i like. Possibly the darkest Alice cooper album
60's - Pretties For You 70's - From The Inside 80's - Flush The Fashion 90's - The Last Temptation 00's - The Eyes Of Alice Cooper 10's - Welcome 2 My Nightmare 20's - Detroit Stories
Relieve it or not, I really like 3 of the 4 “Blackout” albums. My pick for the 80s would be “Special Forces” or “Dada”. 70s “Billion Dollar Babies”, 90s “Hey Stoopid”, 00s “Brutal Planet”, 10s “Welcome 2 My Nightmare”
I wasn’t crazy about Flush the Fashion. But admittedly, I don’t know it as well as the other 3, which I own. A friend in school had Special Forces and Zipper Catches Skin, and I got to know those. Then picked up Dada shortly after in a bargain bin for 3.99! 😂
I know! I really like it. Particularly like “Scarlett and Sheba” and “Pass the Gun Around”. If he’d released it in 1978 it would have been a hit for him
60's - Pretties For You 70's - Welcome to My Nightmare 80's - Don't care for any of them 90's - Hey Stoopid 2000's - Brutal Planet 2010's - Welcome 2 My Nightmare 2020's - Detroit Stories
60s: Pretties For You 70s: Love It To Death 80s: Raise Your Fist And Yess 90s: The Last Temptation Of Alice 00s: Dirty Diamonds 10s: Welcome 2 My Nightmare 20s: Detroit Stories
I'd lump the original AC Band as a separate entity to include 69-75 and Killer would be my pick. Alice's solo 70's output would be Welcome to My Nightmare. 80s - Dada 90s - Last Temptation 00s - Brutal Planet 10s / 20s - Welcome 2 My Nightmare (lumping together due to only three albums)
60s - Pretties For You (I looked on Wikipedia to see if I could qualify Easy Action which I prefer hoping it was maybe recorded in 1969, Wiki says it was recorded between '69 - '70 so I'm mostly out of luck.) 70s - Killer 80s - DaDa 90s - The Last Temptation 00s - The Eyes of Alice Cooper 10s - Welcome 2 My Nightmare 20s - Detroit Stories
It’s so typical for almost every Cooper fan saying how they don’t like pretties for you . I thought most of the album was strange and mostly a novelty when was 9 in 1976 but the album grew to be one of my favorites. Some great cuts on that . Living Changing arranging Fields of regret Reflected And more
60’s- Pretties for you 70’s- Killer (A top ten best of the 70’s) 80’s- Raise your Fist and Yell 90’s- Hey Stoopid 00’s- Brutal Planet 10’s- Welcome 2 My Nightmare 20’s- Detroit Stories
Great choice Pete for the 80's decade. "Raise Your Fist and Yell" is under-rated. Kane Roberts guitar tone is so unique and sounds amazing. His solos are melodic and instantly memorable. Alice's lyrics and vocals are great. A dark album lyrically and the music is heavier than the previous "Constrictor" album. I just wish a remastered version of "Fist" would get released since it would really benefit with enhanced dynamics, etc.
Personally, I find it's probably the worst album he ever recorded with Constrictor being just a sliver better but not much, I was massively disappointed back then with this whole hair metal comeback era (which has been going on pretty much to this day) Alice doing metal just was never my cup of tea, I think artistically he dropped the ball after DaDa and the musical variety went out the window. Isolated good songs here and there, but overall the last 38 years I find little I like in his catalog.
Other than "Dragontown" & "Brutal Planet" I like everything Cooper (the man & the band) has done. He was a very important part of my musical development. - 1960s: Pretties For You (I don't dislike this era as much as some do) - 1970s: Killer (My 2nd favorite Cooper album) - 1980s: Zipper Catches Skin (My favorite. Though "Raise Your Fist & Yell" is really good, too) - 1990s: The Last Temptation (A solid, somewhat overlooked album) - 2000s: The Eyes of Alice Cooper (He dropped the nu-metal sound, thankfully) - 2010s: Paranormal (His best since "Raise Your Fist & Yell", IMO) - 2020s: Detroit Stories (Not bad, but not nearly as good as Paranormal) These have been fun - Thanks for the video!
70's is a hard one.For me probably Killer closely followed by Love it to death and Welcome to my nightmare.Not to crazy about what they delivered in the other decades !!
It's not always as easy to schedule guest stars as everyone thinks it is. Seeing as this is a May only show theme, we are running out of days to get these all recorded and sometimes solo is just the way to go.

Well, Pretties for You lol. 70s: okay I’m gonna cheat here, and pull a Pardo. . Alice Cooper Band “Killer”; Alice Cooper the solo artist, gotta pick “Lace and Whiskey” right now, though I love Nightmare & From the Inside, it’s just where I’m at in mood & life-especially the last 10 months as I’ve developed a beer and whiskey habit myself hehe. Plus, I love moody reflective ballads and Film Noir 80s: oof! I love “DaDa”; can’t listen to it as much as the others, but damn, couple tracks really hit me, notably “Pass the Gun Around”-know that feeling a lot of my life 90s: love both, but gotta go with the fun album from my birth year that I could not listen to for 3 years, put on, and still sing along without flubbing lyrics and such-Hey Stoopid! 00s: god this is tough between Brutal Planet, Dragontown, and Spider . . I think “Spider” as it’s a mix of old and modern Alice, a cohesive engaging story line, and great performances. Hey Pete, remember the website had that MP3 player he called “Wimpy Player”? hahaha the vignettes and artwork for the songs, like a Grindhouse series of posters really added to the majesty of it. 10s: haven’t really heard it, but Paranormal just because it’s not a bloated 2cd filler mess 20: Detroit Stories is a bit of fun.

Alice Cooper is the greatest ever. I actually prefer solo Alice to the original band as great as it is. 60's-Pretties For You (default obviously) 70's-From the Inside 80's-Raise Your Fist and Yell (debated Dada as my favorite) 90's-The Last Temptation (my favorite Alice album ever) 2000's-Brutal Planet

60s - I’ll give you one guess 70’s - Billion Dollar Babies - so many great albums 80’s - Dada - and underrated masterpiece, listen to “Pass the Gun Around” 90’s - The Last Temptation 00’s - Brutal Planet 10’s - Welcome 2 My Nightmare 20’s - You know the answer
Can’t believe Sydney wasn’t here for this one being that is 90% of her picks on Monday.
Really like the Royal Scam T-shirt, Pete!
I know "Lace and Whiskey" tends to get crap from people, but it's another album I can go to and think it sounds great.
There's certainly some good tracks on there. I especially like Ir's Hot Tonight and My God.
I like "Lace and Whiskey". Tie only song I don't really like on it is "Ubangi Stomp". The rest of the album is excellent. My favorite songs on it are "No More (Love at Your Convenience)" (Or is the "(No More) Love at Your Convenience)"? I can never remember where the parentheses go.); "King of the Silver Screen"; "You and Me" and "I Never Wrote that song". (I love when the song ends, and there's that long pause and then the saxophone solo comes in.)

No Sydney Taylor? Blasphemy!! 🎵”And in God’s name blaspheme / Killer of Giants, threatens us all... “🎵 (OOPS! Wrong artist!) 😉

Hey Stooped for the 90s, and Welcome 2 My Nightmare was a great return to form with Ezrin doing amazing production job of mixing of old and new sounds, not to mention the 3 cool songs with the original group and a fantastic re-teaming with Dick Wagner in that of one of Alice's best ballads.
Hi Pete. I’m with you on this.
1) Billion Dollar Babies
Runner up. 2) Killer.
I absolutely love these 2 albums. Great 70’s material.
60’s Pretties For You
70’s Killer
80’s Flush the Fashion
90’s Hey Stoopid
00’s Along Came a Spider
10’s Paranormal
20’s Detroit Stories
Dirty Diamonds and Eyes of Alice Cooper are great return to 70s sound.
I saw Alive way back in the day, maybe 1979 or earlier, his show was spectacular!
Hey guys! Here are my picks:
1960's: Pretties For You
1970's: From The Inside
1980's: Trash (a HAIR over Constrictor)!
1990's: Hey Stoopid
2000's: Along Came A Spider
2010's: Welcome 2 My Nightmare
2020's: Detroit Stories
Like Pete mentioned, sometimes it's hard to completely match our schedules, but it was nice to know that so many of you missed me on this episode haha! Love seeing everyone's picks here in the comments. 🤗
60s pretties for you
70s billion dollar babies
80s trash
Apart from the 3 decades I am not the biggest fan. But killer is my second pick from 70s
As you said killer is really dark and gothic which i like. Possibly the darkest Alice cooper album
Helluva line up on the way for this theme. Can't wait.
60's - Pretties For You
70's - From The Inside
80's - Flush The Fashion
90's - The Last Temptation
00's - The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
10's - Welcome 2 My Nightmare
20's - Detroit Stories
Relieve it or not, I really like 3 of the 4 “Blackout” albums. My pick for the 80s would be “Special Forces” or “Dada”. 70s “Billion Dollar Babies”, 90s “Hey Stoopid”, 00s “Brutal Planet”, 10s “Welcome 2 My Nightmare”
What's the one blackout album you don't like?
I wasn’t crazy about Flush the Fashion. But admittedly, I don’t know it as well as the other 3, which I own. A friend in school had Special Forces and Zipper Catches Skin, and I got to know those. Then picked up Dada shortly after in a bargain bin for 3.99! 😂
@@tomfabozzi5353 Yeah, poor DaDa. Found it's life in the $5 Walmart bin
Glad it has new life now.
I know! I really like it. Particularly like “Scarlett and Sheba” and “Pass the Gun Around”. If he’d released it in 1978 it would have been a hit for him
60's - Pretties For You
70's - Welcome to My Nightmare
80's - Don't care for any of them
90's - Hey Stoopid
2000's - Brutal Planet
2010's - Welcome 2 My Nightmare
2020's - Detroit Stories
60s: Pretties For You
70s: Love It To Death
80s: Raise Your Fist And Yess
90s: The Last Temptation Of Alice
00s: Dirty Diamonds
10s: Welcome 2 My Nightmare
20s: Detroit Stories
Kane Roberts approves of your description of the muscular guitar on RYFAY!
I love Pretties For You. Some great psych on there.
I'd lump the original AC Band as a separate entity to include 69-75 and Killer would be my pick. Alice's solo 70's output would be Welcome to My Nightmare.
80s - Dada
90s - Last Temptation
00s - Brutal Planet
10s / 20s - Welcome 2 My Nightmare (lumping together due to only three albums)
60s - Pretties For You (I looked on Wikipedia to see if I could qualify Easy Action which I prefer hoping it was maybe recorded in 1969, Wiki says it was recorded between '69 - '70 so I'm mostly out of luck.)
70s - Killer
80s - DaDa
90s - The Last Temptation
00s - The Eyes of Alice Cooper
10s - Welcome 2 My Nightmare
20s - Detroit Stories
60' - Pretties For You
70' - Love It To Death
80'
90' - The Last Temptation
00'
10' - Paranormal/W2MN
20'
It’s so typical for almost every Cooper fan saying how they don’t like pretties for you .
I thought most of the album was strange and mostly a novelty when was 9 in 1976 but the album grew to be one of my favorites.
Some great cuts on that .
Living
Changing arranging
Fields of regret
Reflected
And more
60’s- Pretties for you
70’s- Killer (A top ten best of the 70’s)
80’s- Raise your Fist and Yell
90’s- Hey Stoopid
00’s- Brutal Planet
10’s- Welcome 2 My Nightmare
20’s- Detroit Stories
Great choice Pete for the 80's decade. "Raise Your Fist and Yell" is under-rated. Kane Roberts guitar tone is so unique and sounds amazing. His solos are melodic and instantly memorable. Alice's lyrics and vocals are great. A dark album lyrically and the music is heavier than the previous "Constrictor" album. I just wish a remastered version of "Fist" would get released since it would really benefit with enhanced dynamics, etc.
Personally, I find it's probably the worst album he ever recorded with Constrictor being just a sliver better but not much, I was massively disappointed back then with this whole hair metal comeback era (which has been going on pretty much to this day) Alice doing metal just was never my cup of tea, I think artistically he dropped the ball after DaDa and the musical variety went out the window. Isolated good songs here and there, but overall the last 38 years I find little I like in his catalog.
60's Prettier for You, 70's Love it to Death, 80's Zipper Catches Skin, 90's Last Temptation , 00's Dirty Diamonds, 10's Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Other than "Dragontown" & "Brutal Planet" I like everything Cooper (the man & the band) has done. He was a very important part of my musical development.
- 1960s: Pretties For You (I don't dislike this era as much as some do)
- 1970s: Killer (My 2nd favorite Cooper album)
- 1980s: Zipper Catches Skin (My favorite. Though "Raise Your Fist & Yell" is really good, too)
- 1990s: The Last Temptation (A solid, somewhat overlooked album)
- 2000s: The Eyes of Alice Cooper (He dropped the nu-metal sound, thankfully)
- 2010s: Paranormal (His best since "Raise Your Fist & Yell", IMO)
- 2020s: Detroit Stories (Not bad, but not nearly as good as Paranormal)
These have been fun - Thanks for the video!
70's is a hard one.For me probably Killer closely followed by Love it to death and Welcome to my nightmare.Not to crazy about what they delivered in the other decades !!
No Sydney?????????
It's not always as easy to schedule guest stars as everyone thinks it is. Seeing as this is a May only show theme, we are running out of days to get these all recorded and sometimes solo is just the way to go.
60s: Pretties For You
70s: Billion Dollar Babies
80s: Trash
90s: Last Temptation
00s: Brutal Planet
10s: Paranormal
20s: Detroit Stories

Loving the shirt!
Still hoping for an albums through the decades on Dream Theater. I have my list ready 🤘🤘
I agree with Pete's picks except I'd rank Brutal Planet 1st in the 00s. That said, ACs top 5 albums are their 3rd thru 7th LPs, with Killer 1st
60s......Pretties for you
70s......billion dollar babies
80s......Raise your Fist and Yell (this is my favorite Alice Cooper album of all time)
90s......Hey Stoopid
2000s......Brutal Planet
2010s.......Paranormal
2020s.......Detroit Stories
Well, Pretties for You lol.
70s: okay I’m gonna cheat here, and pull a Pardo. . Alice Cooper Band “Killer”; Alice Cooper the solo artist, gotta pick “Lace and Whiskey” right now, though I love Nightmare & From the Inside, it’s just where I’m at in mood & life-especially the last 10 months as I’ve developed a beer and whiskey habit myself hehe. Plus, I love moody reflective ballads and Film Noir
80s: oof! I love “DaDa”; can’t listen to it as much as the others, but damn, couple tracks really hit me, notably “Pass the Gun Around”-know that feeling a lot of my life
90s: love both, but gotta go with the fun album from my birth year that I could not listen to for 3 years, put on, and still sing along without flubbing lyrics and such-Hey Stoopid!
00s: god this is tough between Brutal Planet, Dragontown, and Spider . . I think “Spider” as it’s a mix of old and modern Alice, a cohesive engaging story line, and great performances. Hey Pete, remember the website had that MP3 player he called “Wimpy Player”? hahaha the vignettes and artwork for the songs, like a Grindhouse series of posters really added to the majesty of it.
10s: haven’t really heard it, but Paranormal just because it’s not a bloated 2cd filler mess
20: Detroit Stories is a bit of fun.
Brutal Planet and Dragon Town were so impressive
