10 Rock Musicians Who Should Become Two-Time Hall Of Famers
5. Alice Cooper
In 2011, the band Alice Cooper were welcomed into the Hall by Rob Zombie. Representing the group were Michael Owen Bruce, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, and, of course, Mr. Cooper himself.
Vincent Furnier took on this androgynous pseudonym upon leaving the band in 1975, but he had an entire career beforehand that included the songs I'm Eighteen, No More Mr. Nice Guy, and the legendary School's Out. This is the part of Cooper's life that has been honoured by the Hall, but there's way more to the man than this.
Post-1975, the King of Shock Rock has released 22 solo albums, dozens of singles, and has been on tour for a combined total of approximately 400 years. Welcome to My Nightmare, Hey Stoopid, Poison, these are all from a time in Alice's career that, as of right now, stands unrepresented in the Hall of Fame.
Whilst it might be a bit confusing to have two separate inductees named Alice Cooper, if the institution wants to celebrate all the great contributors to rock 'n' roll, then it needs to happen.
