The first appearance of many from one of my childhood idols, Alice Cooper.
This is technically the band named Alice Cooper, which would release 7 studio albums before breaking up and Alice (real name Vincent Furnier) would continue with a solo career.
It's hard for me to name a 'favorite' album from the band era...other than the very first one, I like (and own) all of them, but this one has a few songs that I would put in my 'Top 10' from them, including the closing number to side one of the album, 'Blue Turk'.

I saw him for five bucks at a charity concert here on our Army post, Fort Carson. Eddie Money, Alice, and Joe Walsh. The only props Alice brought was his top hat and walking stick. His band was so good, he blew Eddie and Walsh away.

Back in the 70s, no one put on a show quite like Alice! He's as famous for his "spectacles" as his music. Those were the days.

I love how the album looks like the surface of a high school desk.

He co-owns a restaurant in Phoenix with Randy Johnson. "I'd like that beheaded billion dollar babies turkey on rye..."

I have issues picking a singular favorite on anything, it all depends on the mood
