Marc Bolan (1947–1977)

The elf-king of glam who put glitter under his eyes and conquered the charts — then died in 1977 when his car hit a tree, two weeks short of his 30th birthday. He never learned to drive; he was the passenger.

Alice Cooper (b. 1948)

Toronto, 1969: a live chicken ends up onstage, Alice — assuming birds fly — lobs it into the crowd, who tear it apart. Frank Zappa's advice: 'Whatever you do, don't deny it.' Guillotines and snakes followed. The drunk who became a sober golf fanatic.

Peter Criss (b. 1945)

The Catman behind the kit and the unlikely voice of KISS's biggest ballad, "Beth". A working-class Brooklyn drummer who beat the odds, beat cancer, and rode the makeup-rock rocket all the way up.
