Suicide by Stray is one of my favourite albums. The title track has one of the all-time great riffs. Along with Black Sabbath and Budgie, they formed a similar-sounding heavy rock triumvirate. Unfortunately, Budgie and Stray fell by the wayside, leaving just Sabbath to enjoy mainstream success (including the hideous The Osbournes). You are right that the Suicide title track, like Budgie's Breadfan was very influential, and yet they have been largely neglected in place of material from inferior bands.
I own a number of Alice Cooper albums, but not the first two or Killer, probably because I never really liked Under My Wheels or Be My Lover. Having said this, and I know it makes me a bad person, I really like the Dead Babies track. I'm Eighteen is certainly a classic and so too is Is it My Body. My favourite Alice albums are School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies. I had a friend who bought Billion Dollar Babies on its release and played it so loud, the window frames in his house shook! The reissued version of BDB came with a fantastic live album, which I like almost as much as the studio material. Alice Cooper's last few albums, including the live one, have left me a bit cold with their murky production.
