The way I see it Kiss had 2 epic albums in a row. The Elder & Creatures Of The Night. Two totally different albums and maybe that's what makes The Elder seen as a stand alone classic today.

[@rodans_boom5941]

Great video. I gotta say..'Charisma' is one of KISS'S most underrated songs. Great song. Catchy echoey hook. Lyrics made so much sense. And Gene just tore it up on vocals and bass.

Kiss is a band EVERY band should learn from, weather you be a black metal band in backwoods norway or a country band. You can learn what to do, like how to sell merch, brand recognition, how to put on a show, and how to last. You can also learn what not to do, like Dont be a prick, dont let your ego control you, and don't be gene Simmons.

You're too young to have been around for the heyday of Kiss. Dynasty, along with Gene's god-awful solo album was where Kiss jumped the shark. The Hotter than Hell album is really underrated.

Once KISS calls it quits, the people will begin to see just how good they were. That's the way it works sometimes, it will just take time.

[@cliffdylan7222]

Bro! Serious respect for taking this task on! I might not agree with every ranking, but pretty close. Thank you for giving Dynasty and The Elder the respect they deserve. So difficult to rank all the albums. Partly, because many of us are influenced by life experiences and memories from the time that these records were released. Like many fans and like I do with Zeppelin, AC/DC or Sabbath, I go thru phases where I listen to entire albums over and over. I could do many, but I gotta give a special appreciation to "Not For The Innocent" off Lick It Up...It's just a nasty, dark riff and the production of the reverse reverb is badass! Gave me hope for post make-up KISS. Thanks man!

[@ScoopedMids]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ronaldnelson6692]

Dynasty was only half of KISS. Ace and Peter weren't even on most of the album. The disco sound of I Was Made For Loving You almost killed their popularity with fans at the time. Elder I think was just a transition period for them being a 70s band to being an 80s band with new sound and eventually new members

[@MrAndrum11]

@@ronaldnelson6692 to some extent I WAS MADE... was a mixsture of disco, Motown and rock that did kinda dominate the ´80...

[@ronaldnelson6692]

@@MrAndrum11 I Was Made for Loving You was written as a bet that Paul could write a disco song easily. At a live concert, he said the way it sounds live is the way it is supposed to sound which is more hard rock.

[@JP1970]

Wow, okay, I watched your whole video and enjoyed it immensely. I was an original member of the KISS army (1979), saw them in concert several times, and even went to their BS Farewell Tour...thinking they'd never tour again. Since then, when they were back like six months later, i swore them off and came to loathe Gene, but it was fun watching this one. You got a like and sub from me. Well done!

[@Wasechubby]

Dude you worded everything so perfectly! I'm a huge KISS fan, but unlike you they weren't part of my childhood. I got into them about 6 months ago and they're definitely my favorite band of all time. I'm currently 20 so I may be a little younger than you, but yeah it's kinda weird telling people you got into KISS after you discovered death metal / heavier music lol. When I was an edgy teen I never cared to go back and listen to 70s and 80s bands but boy do I wish I got into KISS sooner. I listen to all kinds of music, I have over 1300 artists in my music library, so I listen to a lot of music, and I highly agree they're underrated. Imagine if all the KISS haters heard I Stole Your Love, Black Diamond, or 100,000 Years! I'm sure their opinion would change. And yeah, a bunch of super heavy and respected bands site KISS as an inspiration yet almost all metal heads hate KISS for some reason. People call KISS sellouts but I think they're the opposite. Thy started from nothing, roaches in the studio, had to borrow their managers suit, Genes story of coming here, so I think they have the right to do "sellout" shit. I'm not ashamed to buy KISS merchandise, if it's some cool shit, like their McFarlane action figures. Sorry for the rant I just love KISS and wish more people (especially younger people) appreciated them more !

[@Octavian7771]

I was 14 years old when Kiss: Alive! debuted. At that time, they enjoyed a modest radio success with "Rock and Roll All Nite." As a teen, I was captivated by Kiss's superhero persona. I proudly joined the KISS Army and owned the compilation of their first three albums. On the day of their release, I purchased both Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over. Ace Frehley was my favorite member, and his influence led me to pick up the guitar; I believe his solo album was the standout among the four released by the band. In 1977, aged 15, I attended both the first and third shows at the LA Forum. After Frehley departed, the band's dynamic changed significantly for me. Ultimately, my fascination with KISS was a youthful phase that faded as I gravitated towards the Ramones and the rising punk movement. I did not listen to anything beyond KISS Alive! 2, which was recorded at the LA Forum.

PAUL STANLEY ⭐ GENE SIMMONS 🦇 PETER CRISS 😼 As for my baker's dozen ranking: Anything after 1983....forget it. I've never owned Animalize, ever, on any format. Yeah, that "Asylum" record is decent musically, but the band looks like Walt Disney threw up. "Crazy Nights" and "Shit in The Shade?" Hahahaha. What a joke! Glossy, stupid garbage. And "Revenge" is indeed so overrated! It's UNHOLY (great track) and then mostly crap. Save for Heart of Chrome and maybe Thou Shalt Not, the rest of it blows. I think the cooler, less 'drunken stupid mall chicks' look helped this LP as well. But make no mistake, it's UNHOLY and that's basically it. That's enough to say. Basically, KISS was KISS in the 1970s. That awesome, powerful, kick ass rock n roll band: Ace, Gene, Paul & Peter. And then into the early 80s. All of that is either awesome, ICONIC or very good. The rest of it just is not KISS. M ⚡

I remember when creatures came out, hadn’t bought a record since Love gun, I love it loud played on the radio, kiss finally had a drummer I thought, bought the album immediately. Everyone dismissed the record at the time, but I was like “wait a second, the whole album is good”. Should’ve trusted my own judgment then.. Kept the original copy with the original cover at least, but I stupidly did not see them on tour as I was only 12 and went with public opinion。

[@RickyMatthews-b7h]

When I was growing up, I was at a record store and came across the Alive! album, which I purchased largely in part due to the album cover design of 3 Guys in makeup playing with guitars in 1975, and I’ve been a Hugh Fan of KISS ever since then. Through highs and lows, in my experience and opinion The Hottest Band in The World KISS!!! I’ve seen KISS live multiple times across the years. And I still think that KISS Is the Top Ranked Band. Your video was really great, to each their own.

[@eltoro969]

As many KISS fans I hold the album from when I discovered them highly, which for me was Unmasked. Dynasty also got a lot of play on my record player in 1980/81. Fans my age became KISS fans mostly because they did a world tour in 1980 and played a lot more places than they had before. They had a big radio hit with I Was Made that was played e v e r y w h e r e at the time so many people unknown to KISS thought they were a disco band. That quickly changed after The Elder and Creatures of The Night.

COS is great!!! The songwriting is super strong throughout. From what I've read, both Gene and Paul were fully committed to the project until near the end of the project. Paul did have some reservations about the new "grungy" direction, but I believe I heard Toby Wright say that Paul was very professional and committed through the whole recording process. I honestly don't think there's a weak track in the bunch. To be fair, it did take awhile for all the tracks to come into their own. But I don't think there's any filler at all. I'm not particularly biased either, because, while I LIKE Kiss and I like grunge, I'm not heavily invested in either.

[@truefanboy]

This was awesome. Great video.

[@OrangeBearRecords]

We disagree on a lot, but nice video! Monster is a top 3 KISS album for me, I absolutely love it 🤘🏻🔥⚡️

[@jdsdeepcutsundaytracks4426]

[@Cookie-hg4xb]

Pretty good list actually , the only difference is I would have Sonic Boom much lower.

[@hulotati]

I'd go along with your listing. Particularly with Hot In The Shade, my least listened to KISS album. Creatures is my go to first choice every time, I just love the way it kicks off and keeps on coming.

[@ScoopedMids]

Nice

[@jacksonjones563]

Totally agree with you on Creatures!!! Loved the ranking vids and definitely want more!! SUBBED!! \m/

[@rubytheelite]

The first 3 albums would rate higher if they sounded good. I love alot of the songs on the first 3 albums and wish they would have re-recorded them. Been a Kiss fan since 76. No way is the Elder even in the top 10.If you lived though the 70's with Kiss your list would be much different...Your just a kid who doesn't know any better....lol...1-ROCK N ROLL OVER, 2- Detroyer, 3-Creatures of the night.

[@ScoopedMids]

ok boomer

[@jonnybarnard8578]

I grew up with kiss and of course grew out of them very quickly, especially after discovering punk rock, but love gun will always be a beast of a song imo.

[@DaCostaGuitars]

My Top albums; 1. Rock & Roll Over 2. Destroyer 3. Creatures of the Night 4. Dressed to Kill I will count Alive! in my top albums. Where its ranked probably just below Rock & Roll Over, but it's a raw Live recorded album that kicks above its grade

Top 5 Kiss albums 5. Animalize 4. Music from the Elder 3. Love Gun 2. Unmasked 1. Asylum

[@Toggitryggva]

Excellent! Always like it when people don't buy into the Destroyer hype. Have to disagree about about Torpedo Girl. Love that piece of absolute silliness.

[@TylerCrossWrestling]

Kiss is my favorite band of all time. And yes, I became a Kiss fan as a little kid. Like 4-5 years old. So your theory checks out to me.

[@DrewRandIsCool]

Their first 6 albums including KISS Alive I & II

[@cbrida11]

There were drum tracks on hot in the shade because Eric Carr was dying of cancer and couldn't play like he used to...WTF?!?!

[@ScoopedMids]

He didn't have cancer until 1990 or 1991. Hot in the shade was recorded in 89.

[@mattsnyderARTIST]

Great ranking bro, creatures is definitely the hardest sounding album...I too love the drums on that record,especially the opening beat on I love it loud..at 12 I wore that vinyl down listening to that part over and over

[@mattsnyderARTIST]

Me too 🤘

[@jeffhunter8929]

Unfortunately, you are right about Mark St John, I thought it was strange & also A little sad that he could not play the same riff twice. But when he recovered, he played for Peter Criss & Jeff Scott Soto so he might of remedy that.

[@jacobdaniels9863]

Loving the content brother! How do you use the music video clips for your video? Just wondering as I want to make my own documentary!

[@ScoopedMids]

I keep them in relatively short clips, and I often use pictures slowly zooming in or out to illustrate my points and they also obscure the video a bit. This helps the video not get claimed for copyright.

[@jacobdaniels9863]

@@ScoopedMids perfect! Thank you man!

[@jamesdean3548]

Great review and finally, someone who appreciates the greatness of Creatures. I too, rate it #1 with LIU second.

[@viking_2112]

I would never go as far to say that kiss are the greatest band ever but I would say that they are my favourite band due to some really great songs and great live performances

[@marcsegal1658]

Great list ranking! You are original and I like how you think. I would put Destroyer and Love Gun a little higher but you nailed it!

[@bridges4232]

My favourite personally is rock n roll over. Ace and Eric are the best members imo. Great vid also. Aces solo album is the best with the logo, it’s almost heavy metal.

[@ScoopedMids]

Ace's '78 solo album is better than it has any right being.

[@bridges4232]

Scooped Mids it’s a complete masterpiece. I love his frehleys comet stuff as well.

[@ScoopedMids]

@@bridges4232 Frehleys comet, trouble walkin, and space invader are all pretty solid. The other ones are really spotty though.

[@dravenquinn264]

My mini ranking for the KISS 78 solo albums would be 1. Ace Frehley 2. Paul Stanley 3. Peter Criss 4. Gene Simmons

[@scottallen8499]

Their music and lyrics are so vanilla, I enjoy the live show, fireworks and special effects. Alive 3 is probably my favorite album

[@dopojopogt0936]

First album is my favourite

[@deuce7643]

Top 5. 1. Hotter Than Hell 2. Rock And Roll Over 3. Unmasked 4. Dynasty 5. Lick It Up

[@christiannilsen565]

say what u will Monster is my favorite KISS album

[@ScoopedMids]

lol

[@themindseyecmh]

Monster is my 2nd favorite KISS album, not even lying lol

[@joseluisreyesmunoz9660]

Not the list I will do, but I love it because it’s very original, and I had fun with your opinions.
