Killer by Alice Cooper
Killer is an album by Alice Cooper, released in 1971. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 28 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Under My Wheels”, on 25 lists with a best position of #225.
Killer, the fourth album from the Alice Cooper band, hit the racks in 1971 on Warner Bros., the same year "I'm Eighteen" and Love It to Death finally hauled these Phoenix misfits into the spotlight. Bob Ezrin produced, and the band came out swinging: Vincent Furnier snarling as Alice, Glen Buxton on lead guitar, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Dennis Dunaway's bass prowling underneath and Neal Smith pounding the tubs.
"Under My Wheels" is pure gutter-glam rock and roll and "Be My Lover" struts with a leer; both cracked the Billboard Hot 100, at 49 and 59, while the album climbed to 21 on the Billboard 200. This was a band that turned every gig into shock-rock theater, and Killer sounds like it was built to be the soundtrack to the show.
