Top 5 KISS Songs of the first Makeup era

[Scott]

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!

Baby Driver is a good choice!! I remember back in '77, one of my friends were wondering what KISS sounded like, and I played him Baby Driver. He did NOT like it at all, but I thought it was a great heavy tune back then. Still do!!

C'mon guys, who could hold the tears back, during this touching scene in "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park"?

I agree with RJhog. Beth is ........not very good!

[Alan Christensen]

1. Rock and Roll All Night
2. Shout It Out Loud
3. Detroit Rock City
4. Shock Me
5. I

Hey,  Stuart liked Strutter so much that he listed it twice. Is that within the rules, maybe I could list Beth in all 5 spots on my list! Hmmm........

[Niels (Mod)]

Got To Choose is another good choice. Almost on my list. If I haven't said it before, "Hotter Than Hell" is one hell of a KISS-album  

[RJhog (Admin)]

I like Got To Choose too.

[Mike Mills]

Look, another "Beth" nut!!!

[Scott]
