LOTS of shit on their albums (I own all but 4, and have heard those 4...) but I am still finding myself somewhat tolerant of the pre-1978 stuff. I mean the music is about as deep as a puddle, but there's some fun rockers:

1) Detroit Rock City
2) War Machine
3) Hard Luck Woman
4) Beth (Unplugged)
5) Love Gun
6) Shock Me
7) Cold Gin
8) Every Time I Look at You
9) Forever
10)Black Diamond

Alex, I wasn't really putting them in order - just the first 10 Kiss songs I wanted to hear at the moment. Anyway, what's wrong with "Got Love For Sale"? Love Gun is kind of the pinacle of Gene Simmon's contributions to KISS (which isn't saying much I know, but c'mon!). Actually, you could substitute that one w/"Anything For my Baby", "Duece", or "Do You Love Me".

― darin (darin), Thursday, 23 March 2006 08:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh. I thought this was the "Pick Only 10 Shitty Kiss Songs" thread.

― Bobby Peru (Bobby Peru), Thursday, 23 March 2006 08:29 (eighteen years ago) link

"Uh! All Night"? "Let's Put the X in Sex"? Oh man. WOW.

― darin (darin), Thursday, 23 March 2006 08:48 (eighteen years ago) link

In any event, I'll never need to hear another song off of Double Platinum and everything past Alive II can fuck right off, so there.

― darin (darin), Thursday, 23 March 2006 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Keep your pants on. I was just sort've incredulous that "Got Love for Sale" was at the top of your list. I suppose there are worse Kiss tunes (like, say, virtually everything after Dynasty...and even that's being generous), but "Got Love for Sale" sounds so half-baked. I like the "Have Love with Travel" refrain, but the song is just otherwise totally uncooked. It's still better than "Almost Human," though.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 23 March 2006 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I think Love Gun was the second or third Kiss album I got when I was a kid, so my critical evaluation of it is probably skewed. But re: Got Love For Sale - I love the acoustic guitar part that punctuates the breaks in between the verses and the "Whoa no! Whoa no!" bits that Ace & Paul sing on the pre-chorus.

I actually wound up playing a whole bunch of underrated post-makeup Kiss tunes last night: Exciter, All Hell's Breaking Loose, Fits Like a Glove, I've Had Enough, Under the Gun, Thrills in the Night, King of the Mountain, Who Wants to Be Lonely, Trial By Fire, the eternally goofy Uh! All Night...good stuff!

"hard luck woman" is almost tragically awful, literally anyone attempting to hit that rod stewart vein would do a better job

Disco Duck or Elton John’s victim of love are worse

It just seems like hooky guitar pop to me. I'd probably listen to it before the Village People.
