17 Things Only Alice Cooper Fans Will Understand

16. He's Been Around Much Longer Than Everyone Thinks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EfjuzxAnGQ For some, Alice Cooper is just some seventies glam rocker who resurfaced to get a few hits in the eighties. In fact, the Alice Cooper band began plying their trade as a psychedelic garage rock outfit in the late sixties: he was a contemporary of David Bowie and Iggy Pop, the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac Mark Two. That means he was surfacing on a crowded music scene that included every great name from the 1960s and every name that was about to be great in the 1970s. The Alice Cooper Band would release seven albums in five years during this period, cementing their legacy in a genuinely incredible time to be making music.
