1. Revenge
2. KISS
3. Carnival Of Souls
4. Rock and Roll Over
5. Sonic Boom
6. Hotter Than Hell

So - Revenge, but not by much. Hell, it may as well be a tie - Revenge/KISS

But if you add in the ALIVE albums then ALIVE has to be at the top.

Revenge and Carnival of Souls are in your top 3?? I knew you were a crazy Kiss fan, but I never knew you were a crazy Kiss fan.

Hokeyboy · 10-29-09, 04:23 PM

I'm constantly re-evaluating, but here's my overall list:

1. Alive!
2. Kiss
3. MTV Unplugged
4. Hotter Than Hell
5. Ace Frehley
6. Love Gun
7. Revenge
8. Creatures Of The Night
9. Paul Stanley
10. Alive III
11. Dressed To Kill
12. Destroyer
13. Rock And Roll Over
14. Sonic Boom
15. Lick It Up
16. Kiss Symphony
17. Dynasty
18. Unmasked
19. Carnival of Souls
20. Alive II
21. Music From The Elder
22. Animalize
23. Asylum
24. Gene Simmons
25. Crazy Nights
26. Psycho Circus
27. Hot In The Shade
28. Peter Criss

If you remove live albums and the 78 solo albums from the mix, my list would be:

1. Kiss
2. Hotter Than Hell
3. Love Gun
4. Revenge
5. Creatures Of The Night
6. Dressed To Kill
7. Destroyer
8. Rock And Roll Over
9. Sonic Boom
10. Lick It Up
11. Dynasty
12. Unmasked
13. Carnival of Souls
14. Music From The Elder

(the follow albums I *never* listen to. I might hear a single cut that i like on a box set or live album/bootleg, but they represent KISS at their most unlistenable)

15. Animalize
16. Asylum
17. Crazy Nights
18. Psycho Circus
19. Hot In The Shade

Suprmallet · 10-29-09, 05:09 PM

As for my list, it would probably go like this:

8. Dynasty
9. Rock and Roll Over

1. ALIVE!
2. Hotter Than Hell
3. Dressed To Kill
4. KISS
5. Rock And Roll Over

These are Crazy Crazy Nights...

But there's not really anything crazy about rating Revenge so highly - that album just smokes! Now, COS? For half of the KISS fans that may be crazy, but for the other half it makes perfect sense.

(By the way, my two least favorite KISS albums are Hot in the Shade and Crazy Nights, just for further context...)

Rocketdog2000 · 10-30-09, 01:11 AM

As good as they are, I wouldn't count the live albums for the same reason I wouldn't count a "greatest hits" compilation, so they're out. Also, a bit of the same for (most of) the solo albums. That said, mine would be....

1. Kiss
2. Destroyer
3. Hotter Than Hell
4. Creatures Of The Night
5. Revenge
6. Rock And Roll Over
7. Love Gun
8. Sonic Boom
9. Dressed To Kill
10. Lick It Up

Cornelius1047 · 11-01-09, 03:39 PM

Love Gun

K.

Dr Mabuse · 11-01-09, 04:12 PM

'Alive'.

hasslein · 11-07-09, 03:08 AM

I've never listened to a Kiss album in its entirety, but Dynasty has my two favorite Kiss songs. Sure Know Somethin' & I was made...

If you like those two, you might wanna give Unmasked a try. It's a lot in the same vein, although perhaps with even more of a early 80s pop sheen.

Grainy · 11-07-09, 11:56 AM

Hotter Than Hell. This was the first one I bought (in Dec. '74) so it will always have more sentimental value. Saw them live for the first time in Aug. '75 opening for Black Sabbath (w/ Ozzy) and they blew me away!

'Sure Know Something' is a great song. It never gets the love it deserves.

^ I was surprised and thrilled when they included it in the unplugged set.
