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!

Sorry Niels, IWMFLY is making a comeback!!

As a long time Kiss fan, I'm very concerned that Beth is getting so much attention on Classic Rock Bottom.  Don't get me wrong, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but Beth? 

 

Also, I screwed up by leaving out Black Diamond.

Oh no, don't misunderstand me. I have nothing against IWMFLY. I'm just surprised that members of CRB has it among the 5 Best classic KISS- tracks.

It's better than Beth.  To me.

Umm, I didn't list Beth. Does that make me special?

I didn't list Beth first!

Well, there's no "i" in team!

1 - Strutter

2 - Take Me

3 - Nothin' To Lose

4 - War Machine

5 - Baby Driver

Not an easy list to choose, for sure!
