## Key points

- Roth and Great White both peaked at No. 18.
- Alice Cooper’s album reached No. 47.

## Summary

Three established rock acts released albums in 1991 that were overshadowed as grunge surged and Nirvana’s *Nevermind* became a major hit. The article argues the records were not necessarily poor, but their polished hard rock and pop metal sound was falling out of favour.

David Lee Roth’s *A Little Ain’t Enough* and Great White’s *Hooked* both reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200, though the latter had five singles without a major hit. Alice Cooper’s *Hey Stoopid*, featuring guests including Ozzy Osbourne, Slash and Nikki Sixx, peaked at No. 47 and received lukewarm reviews.
