Build the Ideal Kiss Record

Post by Kiss-Army-Sergeant »

I know there have been countless GREATEST HITS compilations, but for me personally, those collections don't always include some of my favorite songs.

That said, if you could put together THE perfect KISS greatest hits collection of 10 songs, which ones would you choose? (You can pick five honorable mentions.)

My choices, off the top of my head and in no particular order:

1. Black Diamond
2. Rock and Roll All Night
3. Beth
4. Deuce
5. Lick It Up
6. God of Thunder
7. Love Gun
8. Got to Choose
9. Shock Me
10. I Stole Your Love

Five Honorable Mentions:
Cold Gin, Parasite, Shout It Out Loud, Firehouse, and 100,000 Years

Too hard for me to pick only 10 plus five honorable mentions. For the most part I like nearly every Kiss song I've heard in some way or another.

I can't help but to think of starting it off with side 4 Alive2 and would have to include Back to the Stone Age.

:shock:

There are not many KISS songs I dislike, but that one is near the bottom of the list for me.

Interesting to see people's lists. So varied!
