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.

Yes, I was rather pleased to hear it.

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.:

DRC is obscure?

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.
― a full playlist of presidential sex jams (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 23 August 2016 18:06 (nine years ago)
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.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 23 August 2016 18:20 (nine years ago)
I've heard Beth once on the radio and it was in the last year.
― how's life, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 18:21 (nine years ago)
Huh, I definitely remember hearing "Beth" on classic rock radio growing up in the 90s. Maybe it was just played once or twice and I happened to be taping songs from the radio? My younger sister loved it.
