My first glimpse into "shock rock" was KISS. They were the first of the shock rock bands to go mainstream. My parents hated KISS and all they stood for. Ever heard of them referred to as "Knights In Satan's Service"? They were and are the greatest of the so called shock rock bands. They did things on stage that no one had ever scene before.

Then you have to consider the angry music and off stage antics of the Sex Pistols. Sid Vicious was a pioneer of the bad boy rocker. His drug use and unabashed sexual exploits were what all parents hated and all teens loved.

Next up in my book was Twisted Sister. Now I hated their glam rock music, but their look was enough to shock any conservative.

Then was Slopknot and the Insane Clown Posse. I can't stand either of their music, but Slipknot has a loyal and insane following and ICP has been banned in several states, and their fans have even been given the distinction of being a gang.

Bust lest we forget that Ice T came out with one of the most controversial records ever with Cop Killer. Not what I would call a shock rock artist but he sure caused a stir, and thusly began the content ratings on records. I have a very collectible copy of Cop Killer on cassette. It is worth like $400. You don't find any Manson records that are worth even close to that.

Now the latest is Marylin Manson. His antics and music have given parents around the world reason to worry, by taking Alice Coopers act and spicing it up. To me he is terribly unoriginal and is just copying the best from all the artists I have mentioned.

Now, the greatest Shock Rocker of all time. OZZY! He was biting the heads off things and pissing on national monuments before many of these guys were born. His albums still sell millions of copy's and his TV show was a national pastime on two continents. OZZY Rules and for very good reason. Lasting influence. If it wasn't for Ozzy paving the way, none of these bands would have gotten out of the bars.

Alice for President!

Alice for sure! He invented shock rock! My Hero! ?
