    An incredible song that didn’t make anyone’s list was Baby Driver from Rock n Roll Over. I think this was Peter’s best vocal, not mention a really cool harmony lead guitar riff at the end. A very raw tune to say the least!

    I’m tending to agree with shannon mehaffey’s posts. KISS has a long and seemingly silent history of burying contributing musicians. I put Tommy and Eric Singer in that category too. Great musicians somewhat shadowed behind the characters they portray. It would be in the band’s interest to set the record straight. I believe their legacy depends on it, especially Paul and Gene.

    My Top 20:
    20) She (Live)
    19) Naked City
    18) Got Love For Sale
    17) Shock Me
    16) Charisma
    15) Sure Know Something
    14) Dark Light (for the guitar solo alone!)
    13) Getaway
    12) Watching You (Live)
    11) Shout It Out Loud
    10) Cold Gin
    9) Let Me Go, Rock ‘N’ Roll (Live)
    8) War Machine
    7) Parasite
    6) Baby Driver
    5) Flaming Youth
    4) Calling Dr. Love
    3) Detroit Rock City
    2) Larger Than Life
    1) Mr. Speed

    It’s interesting that they’ve kept who played drums on Alive II to themselves but disclosed so much of everything else. Maybe because finding out that Anton Fig is the drummer on Alive II, even on side 4, is the final straw; it just makes the “ghost” performers for Kiss all rear their heads again. And it is ridiculous that Ace was too lazy to get off his ass and play lead guitar on a live, or any, Kiss record even if the songs are live in the studio. It’s actually unethical to put your face on an album that you aren’t even on because of money. That’s what he did and it was actually a conspiracy between the three of them. And they just laugh it off and we’re supposed to be put in our place because we’re just the dumb public and they are so much cooler than us. Well, the hell with them.

    Just as I thought I knew every Kiss song from being a fan for 40 years, thanks to this list game I discovered a VERY deep cut of a makeup era instrumental song and I’m not talking about the Love Theme To Kiss…can anyone else here tell me the song the album and the line up of this instrumental ? Bonus if you can..Ed if you read these feel free to chime in

    KISS remains a guilty pleasure for me. Although Alive blew my 12 yr old mind, and I played the grooves off the album for nearly a year, by 13, I was embarrassed enough. to remove the giant fuzzy letters from my Blue Army standard issue Levis jacket / uniform. My Kiss inferiority complex, never diminished my appreciation for the great songs on the albums ( pre Dynasty ) which still remain scattered about my playlist. Your list has reopened a chapter, I had long closed the book on. Apparently, I jumped ship too soon, and missed out on some tasty KISS, even Dynasty, (that Disco abomination) offers up some strong songs, which stand on their own merit. It’s time I sift back through the catalog, for the gems I carelessly tossed out with the garbage so many years ago. Thanks Eddie!
