KISS 'Alive' is the one that changed everyone's lives. It still reigns supreme, but Dressed To Kill is a great fucking album.

I added Revenge but I can take it or leave it to be honest

[@liquidvizionsmadferit]

70's - Destroyer (but I like ALIVE the best) 80's - Lick it Up 90's - Psycho Circus (just for the title track and the Ace song Into The Void and the amazing closing song by Gene aka Journey of 1000 Years) Carnival of Souls has my favorite 90's Kiss song though aka "It Never Goes Away" Paul fucking kills it on vocals! 2000's - NOTHING.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Interesting concept for a show, good choices Hack and Pete. 70s: Not a bad album in the decade but my favorite is 'Love Gun.' 80s: Interesting decade for the band but 'Animalize' just barely edges out 'Creatures...' 90s: 3 not bad records but I keep coming back to 'Psycho Circus' Rest: 'Monster' by a nose

[@gwts1171]

I have such a love/hate relationship with Kiss. Also, Love/Hate was a cool band. 1970s: Love Gun (Closely followed by Hotter Than Hell.) 1980s: Asylum (My favorite Kiss album over-all. Animalize is a somewhat close second.) 1990s: Carnival Of Souls (Though I really don't like any of the 90s albums. And I greatly dislike Revenge.) 2010s/2010s: Monster (I don't like either, but this is better, I guess.) Thanks for another fun video, Pete & Hack!

[@ericporter344]

Again, I love the loyalty, KISS was my first music obsession as a kid, but after Unmasked...I stopped following them. I eventually picked up Creatures, but that's it. Kudos...good show I love those 70s KISS Albums, Hotter Than Hell is my favorite, but I listen to Alive the most.

Wowww the same eleccion

[@bathtubgeorge]

For years Rock and Roll Over was my favorite Kiss album, It's an album where the make up and posturing can be taken away and striped to just the music is a pure rock and roll album. In recent years, Creatures of the Night has become my favorite, and once again it can be stripped back to the music, it's an excellent and powerful album. then I checked out after Revenge. Rock and Roll Over Creatures of the Night Revenge And I'd leave it at that...

I'm 42 years old so I graduated high school in the late 90s but my mom was briefly dating a musician and he turned me onto kiss and I love them to this day Bf first album I heard front to back was rock and roll over and it's been my favorite since I was introduced to the band....80s wise I'm the rare hot in the shade fan..and in the 90s I live revenge, it was the first kiss album I bought with on my own ....counting the solo albums I'll be asbold to say that all their albums are great....the only 2 I don't care for is the 2 newest ones Sonic boom and monster.....I can legit say I love every other album they've done before that

[@myphilippinestravels2045]

The debut has always been my favorite Kiss album. Of the other albums of the 70's Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, and Love Gun have too much filler for me to pick as my favorite. As much as i love Unmasked and Lick It Up, i feel Creatures has the strongest collection of songs. Plus the mix is incredible

[@marciopainhas5828]

70's: Dressed to Kill, and 80's: Creatures of the Night. Both amazing!

[@brandonbelt5055]

My picks are probably the same as Pete's. I would need to revisit 'Animalize' again before giving the 80's crown to 'Creatures of the Night' though.

Surely you can’t pick one KISS album from the 70s because there were two distinctive periods! First three albums to “Alive”, second three to “Alive II”. Totally different sound and production. Dressed To Kill. (Not including live albums,) Love Gun. (Not going to include live albums.) Dynasty. Creatures of the Night. (Another period distinction.) Psycho Circus. Sonic Boom. (Actually three distinct periods in the 70s. I forgot that Dynasty was ‘79.)

[@brianstrutter1501]

@@LarryFleetwood8675 - I'm 53 numbnuts. I got LIU not long after release. Hell Animalize is FAR superior to Unmasked and its pop sound. Most of us like Unmasked but you really can't rank it that high and still be sane on any level. I mean it's a pop/rock album. It's miles away from the core KISS sound. It's nice to have variety but the reality is it's not a strong KISS album, fact. And then beyond the 80's. Revenge is another album that is far superior to Unmasked. Hey if you like pop that's great man. Go listen to Bon Jovi and Def Leppard from Hysteria on. More power to you brother. But in no universe is Unmasked better than Creatures, Animalize, Asylum, HITS, Revenge, COS, Sonic Boom or Monster. So sorry

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

@@brianstrutter1501 To you maybe, why do you even care...make your own list, buddy. I'm 55 anyway, I bought all this shit when it came out. To many people Unmasked is a very good album, poppy as it may be but Kiss more or less always chased trends, certainly in later years and they certainly did here and most things following as well. They were no longer originals or innovators, now they were just followers. Personally, there's very little I like about Revenge or anything '90s Kiss for that matter so I didn't list anything simple as that, they didn't really do much new music then to me they lost it when the '80s ended. I like Creatures and Animalize but they're not as good as LIU.

[@brianstrutter1501]

@@LarryFleetwood8675 - disagree i much prefer Creatures to LIU. And i did say i like Unmasked for what it is. But see that's the problem with some people, worrying about their output or following trends. Yea they did but HITS put them in the right direction and Revenge put them right back where they were supposed to be. None.of that matters to me. All i look at is " is this album good" and i do that for all bands. I don't give a damn the who's and the why's. Ace, Vinnie, Mark, Bruce, Tommy.....i don't care. It's mostly about Paul and Gene anyway they wrote by far most of the songs and easily the best songs. People get too political or as i sometimes say worry too much about the soap opera. Not me. It's the music. Always has been, always will be. If this song or album is good, I'm all in. If it's not then i move on. I've bought every Ace album except Anomoly. Don't like it much but i also don't go to Ace pages and bitch about it. I moved on. Not much of a fan of Hysteria. Only a couple of songs i like, i moved on. To me that's the real world. Too many feel the need to complain. Just shut up and listen, or don't and listen to something else.
