With the 1974 disintegration of the original Alice Cooper group, Alice was free to launch a solo career. He wisely decided to re-enlist the services of Bob Ezrin for his solo debut, Welcome to My Nightmare, which was a concept album tied into the story line of the highly theatrical concert tour he launched soon after the album's release. While the music lost most of the gritty edge of the original AC lineup, Welcome to My Nightmare remains Alice's best solo effort -- while some tracks stray from his expected hard rock direction, there's plenty of fist-pumping ock to go around. The disco-flavored, album-opening title track would be reworked on the stage as more of a hard rock tune, while "Some Folks" dips into cabaret territory, and "Only Women Bleed" is a sensitive allad that became a Top Ten hit. But the rockers serve as the album's foundation -- "Devil's Food," "The Black Widow," "Department of Youth," and "Cold Ethyl" are all standouts, as is the more tranquil yet eerie epic "Steven." Despite this promising start to Cooper's solo career, the majority of his subsequent releases were often not as focused and were of varying quality.

Yes, I know that Monster Mash is probably the favorite of most, but I'm talking REAL songs here....not novelties. When I first thought of this question Alice Cooper immediately came to mind, and although I tried to think of someone less obvious, I ended up back at the Coop. You could probably pick a few dozen of his tunes as great Halloween songs...Dead Babies, Ballad Of Dwight Frye, Steven, We...

Thought about Alice Cooper today, swore that I had seen him for the first time on the Muppet Show as a child, snooped around and found that I was right. Christ, I can't believe I'm actually old enough to remember the Muppet Show, let alone remember the musical guests that I saw for the first time as a wee lad (Blondie, Elton John, Billy Joel, Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, Gladys Knight and the Pips,...
