10 Rock Albums That Peak With The Second Song

10. Love It To Death - Alice Cooper

Let's clear up some confusion before we get started.

This entry is about Alice Cooper the band, which was fronted by Alice Cooper the man until they broke up in 1974.

It's a weird one, but just try and keep up.

The group got their first taste of mainstream success with their third studio album Love It to Death in 1971. A large part of that success came from the record's lead single I'm Eighteen.

And wouldn't you know it - it was the second song on the album!

What are the odds?

As you can probably figure out, the song is about that awkward stage between being a child and an adult. Alice (the man) sings about not knowing what he wants from life and being uncertain of the future.

The fact that he was actually 22 when this song came out only slightly ruins it.

I'm Eighteen paved the way for the monster hit that was School's Out the following year and all the success that the band and the person would have in the future.

The rest of the album has some decent stuff on it, but nothing can match up to this teenage anthem.
