Ok let's see if there are people here who enjoyed the rock/music hall era of Alice!!!
 
For me It's "Welcome To My Nightmare", just excellent. "Years Ago" and "Steven" are fabulous, and Alice singing is at the top of his theatrical skill.
But I really like "From The Inside", not as original as "Welcomme..." but got some real terrific and funny tracks.

I'd go for School's Out actually, Blue Turk and Gutter Cat vs The Jets. Billion Dollar Babies is the best though.

I don't much about Alice Cooper albums, but Billion Dollar Babies is an awesome track!

From the list it's "Welcome..." (with "School's Out" at it's heels), but I agree with the others on "Billion Dollar Babies".

Yep! Thumbs Up
 
 
(Though I've mostly left ol' Alice behind since around age 13 --14.)

His "comeback" album Trash is also quite nice. Of course it's "infested" with mainstream/chart songwriting (Desmond Child, anyone?), but it also contains some amazing songs!

What?

No "Killers"?

You had the temerity to leave out the album containing "halo of flies"?

For Shame

What about "Muscle of Love"?
 
All you Alice Cooper fans should try the first two albums "Pretties for You" and "Easy Action". Worth a mention here as they were produced by Frank Zappa. There is some seriously weird stuff on these albums but there are a few gems there too e.g. Shoe Salesman, Beautiful Flyaway, Levity Ball.
They were reissued together as "Schooldays" in the 70s but this isn't available on CD as far as I know.

Billion Dollar Babies gets my vote.  I love the dead is a great track.

Of the three listed I would choose School's Out. However, both Love It To Death & Killer are better than any on your list (IMO).
