You need to use Animalize, Asylum, CN, Hits & Revenge to make a good album

Those two are already good albums. No need to rearrange anything.

If you wanted to combine Rock And Roll Over and Love Gun into a half decent album, on the other hand, you'd be pushing shit uphill.

I’ve Had Enough
Heavens on Fire
Secretly Cruel
Who Wants to be Lonely
Any Way You Slice It

Thrills in the Night
Trial By Fire
King of the Mountain
While the City Sleeps
Tears are Falling

Damn, it’s hard giving Gene representation because his songs on those two albums were so bad. I’ve put in four since it’s a KISS album but that’s two more than I’d like. Throw VV into the mix and he would have rewritten them all into great songs.

I already think Animalize is a really good album. Asylum, on the other hand, is probably the band's worst.

Okay, I'll bite. Both Animalize and Asylum are great records.

King of the Mountain
Heaven's on Fire
Get All You Can Take
Trial by Fire
Tears are Falling
Lonely is the Hunter
Trial by Fire
Any Way You Slice It
Thrills in the Night

I waivered on Burn Bitch Burn or I've Had Enough over King of the Mountain, but this make believe album needed an Eric Carr drum showcase. Lonely is the Hunter might be a curveball for some, but I just love the bluesy riff.

I'm a BIG fan of both Animalize AND Asylum. No way can I limit it to 10 songs. But 12? Yeah, that I can do...

I've Had Enough
Heaven's On Fire
Secretly Cruel
I'm Alive
Who Wants To Be Lonely
Lonely Is The Hunder

Under The Gun
Tears Are Falling
While The City Sleeps
King of The Mountain
Any Way You Slice It
Thrills In The Night


Yeah, that looks pretty good. I mean, Crazy Nights had 11 songs, HITS had 15, so why not a 12 song album? It still would be about 48 minutes long, so not too long for the vinyl era since you could maintain good sound quality up to about 24 minutes per side (yeah, sound quality started dropping after 20 minutes, but not by much until you got past 24 minutes per side - and HITS was on vinyl with sides longer than that).

I could add all of Paul's songs, I mean they are all good. Gene...well he really was not present during these years, I like these songs together nothing compared to Paul's work though.
