This is a compilation album of songs from the Warner Brothers recordings of Alice Cooper(the band). After this album came out, Alice Cooper(the singer) left the band that was named after him. Or was he named after the band? Anyway, Alice Cooper the solo artist never made records as good as Alice Cooper the band did. These songs represent the height of Alice Cooper's career. I highly recommend this CD to fans of '70s rock.

Before Manson,Kiss or even Bowie,there was the Alice Cooper Group;a hard rockin' band at the tail end of hippiedom.Alice had the voice amd wit as sharp as a razor,but could sing as soulful as a choir.They attacked some of society's stupidities with a sense of humor;as a result they were labeled "sick and obscene".This release is a record of ACG's string of hits from 1971-1974 (or if you like,I'M EIGHTEEN to MUSCLE OF LOVE). GREATEST HITS runs the gamut,from the theatrical

(ELECTED,DESPERADO) to the straight ahead rockers (UNDER MY WHEELS,BILLION DOLLAR BABIES).This is a excellent start off point for fledgling Alice Cooper fans;now,go and buy the albums.

Yes I gave Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits 5 stars, and Yes I don't recommend you but this CD. Sure all of the Alice Cooper Band's hits are here, 'School's Out', 'Eighteen', 'Billion Dollar Babies', 'Muscle of Love', 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' etc. And all of those songs are excellent. But what is not included are the songs that really gave the Alice Cooper Band it's image and reputation, songs like 'Dead Babies', 'Black Juju', 'Halo of Flies', 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', 'Killer'. The essence of Alice Cooper are the strange and unusual songs, music that no one had even tried creating before.
If all you want are the hits off of the 5 original Alice Cooper band recordings for Warner Brothers then you are shortchanging yourself. There was so much more to Alice Cooper than the 12 songs presented here. Each album should be heard and experienced, instead of a 'Best Of', spend the extra dough to hear the whole albums of 'Love it to Death', 'Killer', 'School's Out', 'Billion Dollar Babies' and 'Muscle of Love'. You will not regret adding these stellar CD's to your collection.

This is classic Alice Cooper. All of the greatest hits on one CD. However, I would love to see a greatest hits CD that includes all of the strange songs. Such as 'Dead Babies', 'Black Juju', 'Generation Landslide'. These are songs you wouldn't normally find on a Greatest Hits CD, yet they are the songs that launched Alice Cooper's career. If you want strange and bizarre, I recommend Alice Cooper's very first CD from 1969 'Pretties For You'. One song I would have included on this compilation is 'Tuesday Mueller'. Other than that, I would give this CD a 4 star rating and an excellent starting point for any new Alice fan.

Alice is one of the longest-performing musicians of the hard rock/heavy metal/shock rock genre (one who undeniably inspired generations of rockers). This charming collection gathers Cooper's hits from 1971-1974, most of which achieved big radio play in their time, and can still be heard on the classic rock stations of today. In 1974, Cooper disbanded his band and went solo, so his career changed directions.

This is a great introduction to early Alice Cooper, but as other reviewers have stated, there are many gems on those early albums that didn't achieve radio fame. Try this one out if you are curious about early Alice Cooper, and if it strikes you, know that there are many other undiscovered songs lying in the other Cooper early albums.
