By 1973, the Alice Cooper band was one of the hottest acts in rock & roll, selling out arena sized concert halls. Featuring the flamboyant on-stage antics of lead vocalist and band namesake Cooper and a sound that was a cross between heavy-edged blues, hard rock and camped-up show tunes, the band struck gold with their fifth album, 1972's School's Out. By the time that they would enter the studio to record what would become their masterpiece – Billion Dollar Babies – the band was on the verge of breaking up. Suffering from tensions created by constant touring, the ever-growing complexity of their stage shows and problems created by the extreme overuse of alcohol, the band nonetheless put together ten songs that would become the keystone of the Alice Cooper legacy. Billion Dollar Babies was released in 1973 to overall critical acclaim and great success. It became the band's best selling album, it led to one of the largest-grossing and spectacular tours in rock history and it inspired a legion of hard rock, punk and heavy rock bands to follow. Today, nearly thirty years after its release, it stands out as a landmark of rock music. Cuts like "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Hello Hooray" and the vastly underrated and oft-overlooked "Generation Landslide" stand as rock icons. "Elected" is every bit as funny and relevant in the new millennium as it was in the Nixon era while lesser-known tracks such as "Raped And Freezin'" and the macabre "I Love The Dead" did their best to launch the Goth and death metal genres.
