First things first. Alice Cooper’s “Under My Wheels” is a rock ’n’ roll classic. You can put it on a party tape or hear it on the radio after, say, something from the Stones’ Exile On Main Street, and it doesn’t sound a bit out of place. I always thought it was a Detroit rock ’n’ roll song.

First things first.
Alice Cooper’s “Under My Wheels” is a rock ’n’ roll classic. You can put it on a party tape or hear it on the radio after, say, something from the Stones’ Exile On Main Street, and it doesn’t sound a bit out of place. I always thought it was a Detroit rock ’n’ roll song. “Under My Wheels” holds its own as one of the best rock songs to come out of the ’70s.
Like a Chuck Berry poem, Alice Cooper’s “I’m Eighteen” is timeless as far as anthems are concerned. There’s always going to be some teenager somewhere who’s going to love it (to death). What’s more, it’s one of those musical wonders of the world, meaning pure magic created from three simple chords. And by the same token, what kid can possibly resist “School’s Out,” especially when summer vacation is approaching?
