Side A vs Side B

Post by Ginx99 »

Thought it might be a fun idea to go through the discography and ask ourselves a little question...

If you could only pick one side off of each release which would it be? Side A? or Side B?

Lets start at the beginning with KISS.

SIDE A:
Strutter
Nothin' to lose
Firehouse
Cold Gin
Let me know

SIDE B:
Kissin' time
Deuce
Love theme from kiss
100,000 Years
Black Diamond

Which side are you keeping?

Well fuck "Kissin' Time" and "Love Theme" all over the place, but come on: "Deuce", "100,000 Years" and "Black Diamond"... this question is actually impossible to answer.

B no doubt.
Kissin’ Time being a large part of the reason. Also, 100000 years...

Side B I guess - swap Love Theme and Kissin' Time out for Strutter and Cold Gin and you've pretty much got the best slab of vinyl they ever did...

B coz it's almost perfect (a full Acrobat would have helped) and doesn't have the dead boring Firehouse and Cold Gin.

This is a tough one and I'd call it even, but I guess I'll give the nod to side B since putting Cold Gin and Firehouse next to each other always seemed a little odd to me as it accentuates their sameness.
