Not obscure, but nice to hear "Closer to Fine" staying in the background-music mix (Panera).

Any Given User (Eazy), Monday, 4 July 2016 19:50 (nine years ago)

Austin, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 00:38 (nine years ago)

Dammmn, nice one. I know that from exactly one playing of it on my local alt-rock station in the late 90s. Was years before I tracked down an MP3 even.

we're gonna live in spatula city (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 19 July 2016 01:50 (nine years ago)

Yes, I was rather pleased to hear it.

Austin, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 06:13 (nine years ago)

That is probably my all-time least favorite song from my local alt-rock station (early 90s), but still really impressed that it made your in-store play.

Eh?

During some live performances, ESPN personality Chris Berman, who is a fan of the band, has shown up as a surprise guest, singing the song with the band.[7][8] Berman, who met the band at an ESPN tenth anniversary party,[8] when describing football highlights on NFL Live, will sometimes reference the chorus to the song.[9]

The selection at the local Giant has been so consistently good lately it feels like cheating to even post on this thread. Sunday morning at about 7 a.m.:

KISS - Detroit Rock City
Alice Cooper - Hello Hooray

DRC is obscure?

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 15:13 (nine years ago)

I've never heard it on the radio.

how's life, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 15:26 (nine years ago)

Fair enough

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 15:30 (nine years ago)

I mean, I'm sure it's been played, but the KISS selection at any classic rock station I've ever listened to has been limited to Rock and Roll All Night, Shout It Out Loud, I Was Made For Loving You, and Crazy Crazy Nights.

how's life, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 15:34 (nine years ago)

...and "Beth" (which, ime, could replace a few of the numbers you've mentioned).

Kiss is such a strange case: for a band that's such a commercial institution, you're more likely to hear multiple tracks from Kansas or Deep Purple or Foghat on the radio before one of theirs.

I've only ever heard "Rock & Roll All Night" and "Beth" on the radio -- and I haven't heard "Beth" on the radio since 1976.
