I've never heard of half of these songs!

 

[Phil B.]

That's about half more than me.

Ok, seriously speaking, of course I know every single song on there (hence the pic of Gene laughing). Overall, it's a pretty good list, I would reorder things, but I can't really complain about it.

Personally, I wouldn't put Beth anywhere near the top 10. Actually, it'd be lucky to make the list at all. Tomorrow definitely wouldn't make my top 100. Not a horrible song, but based on the rest of their discography, it doesn't fit at all (like pretty much the entire Unmasked album doesn't). Rock and Roll All Nite wouldn't get a sniff of the top 25 on my list either. I understand it's place in KISStory so I won't complain about it. It is a true 'rock anthem' and one of their signature songs. Oh, one other thing, nothing from Monster or Sonic Boom would get a sniff of my top 100 either. Both are decent enough albums, but they don't touch the stuff from the 70's and 80's.


I would really have a hard time making a list because there are so many songs by the band that I love. I guess it'd be fun to try sometime.

I agree.

I left it because I always catch myself singing along. It's a straight up melodic, poppy cut with an infectious chorus.

You drop this song in the middle of a Journey album, and you're on the charts. Seriously.

I've never heard of half of these songs!

There's a handful I wish I'd never heard.

 

[Phil B.]

If I ever fall in love with Kiss and their music, I will know who to come to. Ha..and for the record, you edited your post to include the laffing Gene after I replied the first time. I do have a top 10 list maybe I will post it sometime.

 

[Lynch]

It took me a minute to find a proper picture to throw into that original post.
