You don't like Alice Cooper, Frank. That's like a muslim saying that he likes Mohamed. You accept Alice Cooper. You accept that Alice came down and gave us rock that upset authority figures, and made the outcast not feel so all alone. You accept that there would be no goth movement without Alice. No Trent Reznor, no Marilyn Manson, not even shitty soft cock rockers like Poison or Bon Jovi, because not only did he introduce macabre theatrics into rock because he also inveted the power ballad with a little song called "Only Woman Bleed"
And he was wearing dresses long before bowie stole his first pair of culottes from his mother's closeline, AND HE WAS SCREAMING ABOUT DEATH AND FRUSTRATION WAY BEFORE PUNK, so, i guess you have to accept that Alice Cooper invented that too.
