## The band era, 1969–1974
The name Alice Cooper originally referred to the whole band, fronted by Vincent Furnier. Their first two albums, *Pretties for You* (1969) and *Easy Action* (1970), were dark, eccentric psychedelic rock records released under [Frank Zappa](https://www.edgepedia.org/frank-zappa)'s Straight Records imprint; *Pretties for You* touched the US charts for one week at No. 193 and both records were commercial failures.[12](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/alice-cooper-mn0000005953) • [4](https://alicecooper.com/history/)
**The Warner Bros. run.** For the third album, *Love It to Death*, recorded in autumn 1970, the group teamed with producer [Bob Ezrin](https://www.edgepedia.org/bob-ezrin), and the single "I'm Eighteen" reached number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1971. Warner Bros. purchased the band's contract from Straight and re-issued the album, which reached number 35 on the Billboard 200. It was the first of eleven Alice Cooper group and solo albums produced by Ezrin.[4](https://alicecooper.com/history/) *Killer* followed in late 1971 with the singles "Under My Wheels" and "Be My Lover".[4](https://alicecooper.com/history/)
The 1972 album *[School's Out](https://www.edgepedia.org/schools-out-album)* reached No. 2 on the US charts and sold over a million copies, while its title single went Top 10 in the US and to number 1 in the UK. In February 1973, *Billion Dollar Babies* became the band's most commercially successful album, reaching No. 1 in both the US and UK, with the UK Top 10 singles "Elected", "Hello Hooray", and "No More Mr. Nice Guy". *Muscle of Love*, released at the end of 1973, was the last studio album from the classic line-up.[4](https://alicecooper.com/history/)
After the band's 1974 dissolution, Warner Bros. issued the compilation *Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits*, which reached the US Top 10 and performed better than *Muscle of Love*.[4](https://alicecooper.com/history/)
## Solo career, 1975–1989
**Welcome to My Nightmare.** Furnier had legally taken the Alice Cooper name and began his solo career in 1975 with *Welcome to My Nightmare*, a theatrical concept album about the nightmares of a boy named Steven, produced with Bob Ezrin. It was his first solo album and his only album for [Atlantic Records](https://www.edgepedia.org/atlantic-records), and it spawned the hit ballad "Only Women Bleed", a Dick Wagner composition reworked with new lyrics.[5](https://alicecooper.com/music/welcome-to-my-nightmare/) The album was certified platinum.[6](https://alicecooper.com/alice-cooper-the-studio-albums-1975-1978-5lp-and-5cd-collections-with-first-four-solo-albums-and-bonus-rarities-arrive-july-31/)
The solo run continued quickly: *Alice Cooper Goes to Hell* (1976), *Lace and Whiskey* (1977), and *From the Inside* (1978), the eleventh studio album overall, whose material drew on his 1976 stay in rehab for alcoholism.[9](https://alicecooper.com/music/from-the-inside/) • [10](https://www.loudersound.com/bands-artists/alice-cooper-comes-clean-about-drink-drugs-and-the-bad-old-days) The 1980s opened with *Flush the Fashion* (1980), *Special Forces* (1981), *Zipper Catches Skin* (1982), and *DaDa* (1983), the fifteenth studio album and his final release for Warner Bros., after which he took a three-year hiatus from the music industry.[3](https://www.alicecooperechive.com/albums/) • [11](https://alicecooper.com/music/dada/)
**Return to the charts.** Cooper came back with *Constrictor* (1986) and *Raise Your Fist and Yell* (1987), then returned to the popular charts with *[Trash](https://www.edgepedia.org/trash-alice-cooper-album)* (1989), whose single "Poison" was Top Ten-bound on the [Billboard charts](https://www.edgepedia.org/billboard-charts).[3](https://www.alicecooperechive.com/albums/) • [7](https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Music-Connection/80/1989-Vol-13/Music-Connection-1989-11-13.pdf)
## The 1990s through 2023
The 1990s brought *Hey Stoopid* (1991), *The Last Temptation* (1994), and the live album *A Fistful of Alice* (1997).[12](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/alice-cooper-mn0000005953) In the 2000s he released *Brutal Planet* (2000) and *Dragontown* (2001) on the Spitfire label, followed by *The Eyes of Alice Cooper* (2003), *Dirty Diamonds* (2005), and the concept album *Along Came a Spider* (2008), about a spider-obsessed serial killer.[12](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/alice-cooper-mn0000005953)
*Welcome 2 My Nightmare* (2011) was a sequel to the 1975 album, recorded again with Bob Ezrin, featuring 14 new songs, contributions from original band members, and a guest spot from Ke$ha.[12](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/alice-cooper-mn0000005953) Later studio albums include *Paranormal* (2017), *Detroit Stories* (2021), a Detroit garage-rock-inspired record that entered Billboard's album sales chart at No. 1 in its release week, and *Road* (2023), a 13-song touring-themed concept album written and recorded with his touring band.[13](https://www.overture.org/media/w4ibbmjk/alice-cooper-on-sale_061523_approved.pdf) • [14](https://apnews.com/article/c504871f40153264993a7b41cd7107c5)
## The Revenge of Alice Cooper, 2025
In 2025 the surviving original members, Cooper, guitarist [Michael Bruce](https://www.edgepedia.org/michael-bruce-musician), bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith, reunited for *The Revenge of Alice Cooper*, released July 25, 2025 on earMUSIC and produced by Bob Ezrin. It was the band's first full studio album together since 1973's *Muscle of Love*, and guitarist Glen Buxton, who died in 1997, is represented through a riff from an old Dunaway/Buxton demo on "What Happened to You". The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK's Official Albums and Metal Albums charts.[8](https://www.loudersound.com/news/alice-cooper-band-reunite) • [15](https://tempestrecording.com/tr2011/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clarke-michael25.pdf)
