Kiss albums best song/worst song album by album

Post by VVWarrior82 »

Recently, I was on a little Kiss kick and actually listened to basically their whole catalog for the first time in a few years. As most of us are Kiss fans as well as Vinnie I figured this might be a fun topic to throw out there. By best/worst I mean your favorite/least favorite. I admit I cheated a bit with some ties, but it was unavoidable. What're yours?

Favorite/Least Favorite

KISS: Black Diamond/Kissin' Time
Hotter than Hell: Parasite/Mainline
Dressed to Kill: Rock Bottom/Anything For My Baby
Destroyer: God Of Thunder/Great Expectations or Do You Love Me (tie)
Rock and Roll Over: I Want You/See You In Your Dreams
Love Gun: Shock Me/Then She Kissed Me
Alive II: Rocket Ride/Any Way You Want It
Ace Frehley: Rip It Out/New York Groove (not really a bad song, it just wears out it's welcome after awhile)
Gene Simmons: None/All of 'em
Paul Stanley: Take Me Away (together as one)/Hold Me, Touch Me
Peter Criss: Hooked on Rock N Roll/Kiss the Girl Goodbye
Dynasty: 2,000 Man/Magic Touch
Unmasked: Is That You/Tomorrow
Music from The Elder: The Oath/Odyssey
Killers: I'm A Legend Tonight/Down On Your Knees
Creatures of the Night: War Machine or Keep Me Comin' (tie)/Rock and Roll Hell
Lick it Up: A Million To One or Young And Wasted/Dance All Over Your Face
Animalize: I've Had Enough (into the fire)/Lonely Is The Hunter or Murder In High Heels (tie)
Asylum: Who Wants To Be Lonely/Uh! All Night
Crazy Nights: No, No, No/Turn On The Night
Smashes, Thrashes: None/Both new tracks blew
Hot in the Shade: Prisoner of Love/Cadillac Dreams (this one just happens to be the worst, but 90% of the album is a pile)
Revenge: Unholy/Every Time I Look At You
Carnival of Souls: Master & Slave/Seduction of the Innocent
Psycho Circus: Into The Void/I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock and Roll
Sonic Boom: Modern Day Delilah/I'm An Animal
Monster: Haven't heard it enough to make a decision

Been so long since I listened to many of the albums but for me (as far as my memory goes), I'd have to agree with nearly everything here! Glad someone isn't a fan of NY Groove too, well it actually shits me up the wall tbh. Love it Loud as the worst on CotN and LIU or 8th Day on LIU for me.... though there are no real weak songs on those two albums.
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

Rock And Roll Over: Hard Luck Women

Love Gun: Love Gun
(This is my overall favorite KISS song)

Yeah I kind of do want to do that, I always love discovering new KISS tunes that I never pay attention to before (: also when I go to a KISS concert one day I'll know all the songs playing by heart

This is KISS setlist for this tour:

"Detroit Rock City"
"Deuce"
"Shout It Out Loud"
"Do You Love Me?"
"I Love It Loud"
"Flaming Youth"
"God of Thunder" (Gene Solo, Spits Blood and Flies)
"Psycho Circus"
"Shock Me" (Tommy Guitar Solo)
"Cold Gin"
"Lick It Up"
"War Machine"
"Love Gun"
"Black Diamond"

Encore

"Beth"
"The Star-Spangled Banner" (John Stafford Smith cover)
"Rock and Roll All Nite"
"Flaming Youth" not played in "Tucson"
"Strutter" only played in "Boise", "Eugene" and "Kennewick"
"100,000 Years" only played in "Tucson", "Boise", "Eugene" and "Kennewick"
"I Was Made For Lovin' You" only played in "Edmonton"
"O Canada" only played in "Edmonton" and "Calgary"
"God of Thunder" not played in "Tucson", "Boise", "Eugene" and "Kennewick"
"Creatures of the Night" was played in Grand Rapids but otherwise replaced by "Do You Love Me?"

And the songs I never heard from above (or forgot about) are:

Deuce (KISS first song and I never heard it crazy right?!!?)
Flaming Youth
God of Thunder
Psycho Circus (even though I saw the music video 3 times lol)
War Machine
Strutter
100,000 Years
("O Canada" I'll search it up on YT lmao)

But I have a feeling I'll still enjoy the show 100%

Sadly they're not touring in Florida this year :(

How lucky! I've been dying to go. Tired of watching other people enjoyment through YT Image And KISS usually tours in the upper states rather than down south :( buuuuut the KISS Kruise has always been in Miami, literally 40 minutes or less away from my house (Yasss I live in Miami). I wanted to go but I have no one to go with (I'm the only person in my family who is literally obsessed with KISS as well as zero friends who are KISS fans) and since you need to be 21Image to go on the KISS Kruise...well then there goes my plans, I honestly can't wait 2 more years.
