Alice Cooper-Billion Dollar Babies (1973)

Alice Cooper is one of the greatest talents given by hard rock and glam, one of the most fundamental artists in the evolution of different genres that he knew how to wisely combine with a powerful and bewitching personality.
"Billion Dollar Babies" is undoubtedly his most successful album and at the same time the highest quality.
It is a wise mix of those previously made on his previous albums such as "Love It To Death" (1971) or "School's Out" (1972).
A very homogeneous, seamless work with a polished and brilliant sound for a series of songs full of energy, feeling and creativity.
"No More Mr Nice Guy" was the successful single from this album, but it did not detract from the rest of the songs, all of them with a great journey, such as the sordid "I Love The Dead", the powerful "Billion Dollar Babies" or the energetic "Elected", the latter, authentic satire of the politics and like other great subjects of Cooper, clear exponent of the influence of The Who in his music and his vital importance in the later punk rock.
Undoubtedly an essential rock album with an exquisite production by Bob Ezrin and a musical quality available to few.
