Alice Cooper chooses the Tracks of My Years

Alice Cooper chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from Nirvana and Elton John. There's the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster.

Alice Cooper, the legendary architect of shock-rock, chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from Nirvana and Elton John. His remarkable career spans over five decades and continues to rattle the cages and undermine the status quo, surprising fans and exuding danger. Drawing from horror movies, vaudeville and garage rock, he's created spectacular stage shows featuring things like electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. The gloss of touring never wears off for the godfather of theatrical rock - he's due to return to the UK next month with his usual special effects, stage mischief and massive back catalogue of albums, including 'Schools Out', 'Feed My Frankenstein' and 'I'll Bite Your Face Off' plus a brand new album - his twenty-seventh - entitled 'Paranormal'. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk.
