two classics, of great impact and magnitude on music sounds, one proto heavy metal and proto punk album, and one of the defining glam rock and symphonic rock albums (Honky Dory)

Definitely and without question Killer. That was the album that turned me into an evil teenager. Decades later, I am still happily evil. Evil Smile

I saw Alice in 1972, just before School's Out was released, so the majority of the show was from Killer and Love it to Death. Still one of my favorite concerts of all time. I never got to see the MC5, but I saw Iggy post-Stooges in Ann Arbor, Michigan and there was a mosh pit before anyone ever referred to mosh pits.LOL

Hmm...I like them both....overall I suppose Dory is a
'better' album artistically  ,but I enjoy listening more to Killer .

Puts into perspective the Music of these bands, how they were so Heavy, yet Alice Cooper (band), who originaly were from Phoenix, Arizona, sort of also has that dessert rock sound, yet with moving early to LA; and there the signing of Zappa lable, and influenced by the glamour of LA they also became proto-glam/hair metal (in costume style) yet their darker more sinister lyrics did not sell good in LAs surf music, and the calefornians did not get the Alice Coopers music, they left the arena, but they found luck and fortune in Detroit, were kindred spirits of Mc5 and the Stooges, who they found themselvs in, sort of.

Never liked AC - bit too schlocky for me....like Meatloaf on a diet. 
 
Hunky, on the other hand, is Bowie in top gear.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

For me Alice Cooper was often psychedelic and sometimes progressive rock, though David Bowie was that glam & art pop only - in my opinion.

I voted both, but I really really like Alice Cooper, and his early career (mainly with the band, Alice Cooper), were as creative and intensive as anything else.

A true comparison, not to someone win, just to aproximate this two artists would be with David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World, I guess.
- From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
