Classic Rock Bottom

Time for another official CRB Top 5 discussion.  So I was thinking if we really wanted to heat up the conversation what better band to discuss is there than KISS?  Seriously!  For a band with a Love 'em or Hate 'em fan base they sure generate a lot of chatter, so that's what were hoping for here as well...

Rather than a career spanning Top 5 list, lets break this up a little and look at a specific era of the band, it focuses the discussion, narrows the possibilities, and generates lively discussion.  So to do that lets start with the first era - KISS with Makeup on.  We'll not fuss over who played in the studio, and we'll only focus on the albums where the band wore makeup up to the point they removed it.  So here are the rules...

  • Only Studio albums prior to Lick It Up are in scope (No live releases*, Greatest hits**, or Tributes)
  • The 4 solos releases are NOT in play, were focusing on the band releases only.
  • You may only consider side 4 of Alive II as in play for your list.*
  • You may also consider the 4 new tracks from Killers as choices.**

Here's mine and I'm kicking it off with a wildcard pick!

5. The Oath - The Elder

4. War Machine - Creatures Of The Night

3. Cold Gin - KISS

2. I Was Made For Loving You - Dynasty

1. Detroit Rock City - Destroyer

Man, that was way tougher than I expected!!!  Good luck!

Cool, we did get KISSFAN to join the discussion!!!

This thread is officially closed...  Here is YOUR top 5 KISS songs from the first makeup era...

 

Detroit Rock City 44
Strutter 33
Come on and Love Me 27
Beth 24
I Was Made For Loving You 21

All other lists are as fake as Tommy Thayer wearing Ace's makeup!

It sounds like your lisping when you say that. Oh no, Beth made the top 5, that won't please RJ!

HA!  And Niels will love to see IWMFLY at #5...

Where's "Shandi"??? 

Didnt even get a single vote...

That's weird, because the people who likes IWMFLY usually also likes "Shandi".

Where's the love for The Elder, dammit? The monkey are getting VERY angry.

I'LL SHOW YOU LOVE

THE ELDER IS THE BEST 80'S ALBUM KISS EVER RECORDED, PERIOD...

AMAZING ALBUM, BRILLIANT SONGS, BILLIANT PRODUCTION, JUST BRILLIANT...

 

 

Thank you!
