I had a "fun" story with discovering Alice Cooper.
Of course he's so famous and iconic that I always knew about him, and the occasional super famous song here and there, but I never bothered to listen to him.
He came THREE times in TWO years in Italy, then I discovered him, and he never returned, it took me years to finally see him one year ago, it was wonderful to finally see him
It's kinda weird also how I finally decided to listen to his albums; I found on YouTube a cover of Hell is Living without You by Sonata Arctica, found out the song was on the same album as Poison, and thought "Well, maybe I should listen to this album"... one thing led to another and in a short time I listened to ALL of his 26 albums.
I let gut instict guide me, I read the stories of the albums on Wikipedia and on fansites and jumped back and forth in time, I remember listening to Trash and Hey Stoopid first, then I must have moved to Brutal Planet and Dragontown, then back in the '70s for the classics, and I left for last the first two albums and the controversial ones of the '80s.
