My Take
Alice Cooper earns my respect through a paradox: the man who invented shock rock turned out to be one of music's great professionals. The theatrical horrors were never the point; the point was showmanship taken seriously, theater welded onto Detroit rock until the industry had to expand its definition of a concert. Six decades on, the raspy voice still works, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally caught up in 2011. What I find most telling is the discipline beneath the greasepaint, because nobody sustains a spectacle that long on chaos alone. He scared the parents, schooled the children, and outlasted nearly every imitator.
