Free Music Review: Landmark album in the history of rock and roll
Hit: 5 Stars
There are some albums that continue to confound me with regard to the critical or public perception, none being greater than, in my opinion, one of the most influential albums, tours, and groups coming together at their apex in the history of rock and roll.
The Beatles at Shea Stadium coming off their American conquest of the Ed Sullivan Show. How about the Rolling Stones and the dire, but very consequential elements of Altamont. Ah yes, the Sex Pistols very short lived but hammer in face tour of America and the one album that spawned that tour. Elvis back at the forefront after Memphis.
How about the album and tour that totally shocked America with no apologies, and continued to influence countless thousands of rcok bands....maybe even Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter.
Well this was the climax of a totally transformed band; garage roots mixed with a panoramic vision of the decay of american culture. Alice definitely had the pulse of America under his stethescope. Combined with a producer that was classically trained and knew his partners.
Hello Hooray........lets get the show started
Raped and Freezin......still wanting to rock without all of the macarbe
Elected........We want, and will rule the world
Billion Dollar Babies....Fun and Campy; who would have thunk....Donovan and Alice make a classic
Generation Landslide....Really the thematic anthem of this album
Unfinished Suite.....Campy Alice...Broadway themes....Vaudville to the fullest
No More Mister Nice Guy..Alice wears his heart on his sleeve and the band rocks as hard and as melodically as ever.... a rock and roll classic
The Horror begins
Sick Things....not a rock and roll classic, but an Alics Classic. Listen by yourself in the dead of night. It still gives my chills. You whet my appetite....
Mary Ann....lovely love song..... I think
Let's close at the funeral.....
I Love The Dead....Anyone who can make a sing along of necrophilla deserves a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
One of the 100 greatest rock and roll albums ever!!!!!!!!!
Billion Dollar Babies Poster
The original Alice Cooper band was one of the finest hard-rock units of the early '70s, which is why the second disc of this remastered version of Billion Dollar Babies is such a treat. Eleven bonus tracks from the band's 1973 tour display the Cooper band's taste for pop-culture--and a sense of humor, as Alice quotes from Don McLean's "American Pie" on a wonderful version of "I'm Eighteen," while the band delivers a ripping "Theme from Perry Mason" during an extended workout of "Unfinished Sweet." Rounded out with session outtakes, the second disc will have fans praying that Rhino unearths more live material. As for Billion Dollar Babies itself, it may not be the Cooper band's best album, but it was the final release of a quartet of extraordinary Bob Ezrin-produced hard-rock records (rounded out by Love It to Death, Killer, and School's Out), and it captures the moment when the band was at their peak. Including three hit singles in "Hello Hooray," "Elected," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," the album--from Donovan's exciting cameo on the title track to the closing "I Love the Dead" (probably the prettiest ode to necrophilia ever recorded)--still sounds terrific. And the packaging, production, music, and imagery has inspired followers as diverse as the Sex Pistols, Marilyn Manson, and Hole. --Bill HoldshipPop Music CDs
