Any old fans of "WKRP In Cincinnati" might remember in the very first episode that when they changed the radio station over from easy listening to rock "n roll, DJ Dr. Johnny Fever threw the Lawrence Welk-type record that was playing across the room and put Ted Nugent "Queen of The Forrest" on the turntable and blasted it out over the airwaves - I became a instant fan of the show

[@wolf1977]

Great show. Supposedly the reason you never see it on TV in reruns now is the music - they don't have the rights to it. There was one KRP mini-marathon on one of our cable stations last year & I noticed that the original songs had been replaced/cut out. The episodes weren't the same without the music...Oh the humanity!

[@iceclimbers22]

Gotta agree with Pete on this one. Secret Treaties is just a special album beyond compare. It's one of a handful that I can think of where nearly every track could compete for my favorite on the album depending on my mood. Albert Bouchard's vocals on Dominance and Submission are totally underrated as well, nobody ever talks about how he kills it in that song.

"Secret Treaties" has been my favorite for years but I do agree it's not really a heavy record but damn ! The songs & the mood is so good start to finish.

Aerosmith Rocks is my number one. 2. Toys In The Attic 3. Ted Nugent 4. Kiss first album 5. B.O.C Mirrors. That's my top five. Great episode and not surprising where Pete and Martin ranked their albums.

[@andrewjohnson388]

Brings back memories of listening ..or nicking [when he was out] of my older brother albums in the 70's, Kiss and Ted Nugent I mostly loved. Good stuff. UK

[@aldebaran4154]

What Martin dislikes about the first three BOC albums is exactly what I like about them, the mysterious, murky, moody sound and production. It's like music from a whole different universe, the universe pictured on the first and second album covers. I can't rate these because I don't own Kiss, but these shows are making me think of giving a chance to a few of their albums. That's what I love about SoT, the infectious love for music can make a person re-look at how they think about a certain band/artist.

[@captainkirk70]

If you are gonna start on a KISS mission of studio albums I recommend. 1. Hotter than Hell 2. Ace Frehley 3. KISS. Otherwise just start with the two live albums. Personally I dig the studio albums for their moods. I love Dynasty alot too but that's a contrarian pick. It's great. I'm shocked they didn't rate Ace's solo higher. It's a perfect album. The weakest album is always Peter's. But strictly KISS the weakest is Love Gun. You really can't go wrong with any of the 70's records if big dumb rock is interesting. Destroyer might be a good one to start with if you are a big Alice or BOC fan. Personally I can't make it all the way thru a Ted record except the old greatest hits one. Way too much filler. He really had no business being mentioned in this ranking.

[@aldebaran4154]

@@captainkirk70 Thank you for the suggestions. Blue Oyster Cult is a top 5 favorite band of mine so they would have dominated my top 10. In high school I was a drummer in a band and we played two Kiss songs, Love Gun and Firehouse. I preferred Firehouse so the first album may be my starting point. I'm sure I'll enjoy the 70's Kiss stuff because I like dumb, silly lyrics 70's rock like Ted Nugent, and Kiss can be just as dumb of not dumber than Ted. I like my music intelligent like Peter Hammill, and I like my music stupid like Ted. 😂

[@captainkirk70]

@@aldebaran4154 They really were good song writers. 99% of people prefer the versions on Alive. And I certainly used to. But as I got older I started to like the studio versions. They're kinda charming. And none of records sound the same except for songwriting style. If you find that the studio cuts are kinda lacking then definitely give Alive a whirl before giving up. It's those songs on steroids. KISS probably would have broken up without it as their records weren't living up to their concerts. They were deeply in debt because those records weren't selling and their shows were expensive to put on. I greatly prefer KISS to Ted. Alice would have been a better pick especially since they put the Amboy Dukes records into the mix.I think the Alice run from Love it to Death to Billion Dollar Babies is just fantastic. I think you will dig them. But then there's the nostalgia factor to think about. I was 8 in '78 and KISS was like a dream band for a kid. My walls were covered in their posters. Really tasty solos by Ace too. They're like songs within songs. I know them without really knowing them if that makes sense. Definitely give Destroyer a chance. It's generally looked at as their finest studio record. Total Bob Ezrin production. And for a Greatest Hits I recommend Double Platinum. It came out in 1978 and alot of care was put into it to make the different productions into a cohesive sound. For me, it's all about burnout. I rarely reach for an album these days but they are in my DNA by now. I'm 54. Since you're a drummer you'll probably either love or hate Peter. But many highly technical drummers love him and know he was integral to the original sound that made them famous. Without him it would kinda be like John Bonham playing with the Beatles. But not comparing him to Bonham or Ringo. And Peter definitely doesn't make or break a KISS song.

[@jimilove7773]

Kiss 70's is Killer!

[@captainkirk70]

@@jimilove7773 Absolutely. A lot of people hate them, and for awhile I thought it was maybe just nostalgia but they really were great. Especially when you compare them to others in their category. I wouldn't put them against the Stones or Zeppelin but they made far better albums than people give them credit for. Only a few filler tracks during their heyday. I even love The Elder. Lol. But I stop when the make up came off. Plus Ace was always my favorite member. I remember when I went to the Creatures tour the ad in the paper was a picture of the cover. Had no idea Ace wasn't still in the band. They kept that secret as long as they could. I think the show was one of the first dates on the tour. As a kid I had no idea that Peter and Ace weren't playing on some of the make up albums. Just took the cover for granted. It was a bummer that night but I got over it and still enjoyed the show. But had no idea who was playing guitar. I don't think they introduced Vinny at all.

[@battleshipnewhook]

This video brings up a topic I think would be great for the show. “What are the best eras of different bands?” In other words, was it the beginning of their careers, middle or latter part which produced the best albums?

70's KISS was pure magic bud Ace Frehley always came up with a guitar solo you could hum too bad the drugs and alcohol took their toll on him.

[@markdodds6141]

You guys could do a live albums rating for these 4 groups. It would be Epic!

[@wolf1977]

I think for me Double Live Gonzo would take the #1 spot...On Your Feet/Some Enchanted Evening are good records (and about 'equal' for me), ahead of Survival Of The Fittest. I think Live Bootleg (Aerosmith) is kinda weak. No Kiss for me

I don't agree with Martin on a lot of things, but we seem to share the same opinions on BOC.

[@ejc636]

Brilliant as usual

[@williamwalker146]

I gotta say all KISS first. I do like some of the other three, but none of those bands come close to 70s KISS, and I like 2 or 3 records a piece from each of those bands, but I'll admit, I'm not huge on them entirely.

[@taranguapo]

BÖC might be Martin's favorite band but he's not a fan of the first 3? 😂 Those are their best!

[@Beaumont67]

AWESOME VIDEO THANKS REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO !!!

[@markc5771]

Rocks is the best of the lot.

[@wolf1977]

I agree!

[@aeromurph]

Rocks!!!!!

[@bobschenkel7921]

Got to see Ted Nugent one time, he was opening for Aerosmith, who I managed to see ten times, and KISS twice. Never saw BOC, my loss. So I am mostly an Aerosmith fan, then early KISS, then Ted then BOC. They're all great, but I like what I like.

My top 10 (hint..not a huge Kiss fan) 1. Secret Treaties 2. Ted Nugent 3. Toys in the Attic 4. Blue Oyster Cult 5. Rocks 6. Cat Scratch Fever 7. Mirrors 8. Get Your Wings 9. Tooth Fang and Claw 10.Tyranny and Mutation

[@justinmathewson3692]

#TeamPete All The Way !

[@thekivster]

I think the last two Amboy Dukes albums are really underrated

[@ericrobertson2024]

Honestly I think Tooth,Fang,Claw is far better than any Aerosmith album,and better than most Nugent solo albums.

[@ziggyzagzi8017]

#1 Ted platter, GWBuff

[@joeylyons4549]

Dude the mutton chops comment will have me laughing this whole fuckin week.

As my Dad always said, B.O.C. RULES

[@edwardyazinski3858]

In high school we cranked up Stranglehold to do warm ups before our wrestling matches. We did this with cranked up boom boxes linked around away matches … they hates us. 😂

[@lostcauseforkl]

"Clanky & Depressing" will be the name of my new band🎉😂

[@chrismoyse3529]

Martin keeps copy of secret treaties in front of his face to stop people seeing him smile so much. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

Here's to 5382 shows more! 🍺🤘

[@RockMusicCD]

I love that Blues rock style

[@williamwalker146]

One thing that woulda been cool to see (or potentially still, minus KISS) would've been like a ranking of heavy glam catalogs from the 70s: Alice Cooper, Sweet, KISS, Angel.

[@CrazyCooter-ld6sz]

Great show. I am totally biased for the motor City Madman and I love kiss

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

[@stevechristie2660]

Another great show guys !

[@ykmgeedee]

Aerosmith's Rocks an easy top 10 all-time album for me and nothing else here in my top 100. Majority of top 10 on today's topic would be other Aerosmith. Kiss first album good.

[@btfvinylmagic1180]

I can't understand why Pete does not love Tatto vampire...it's so heavy, nocturne fast, the only heavy track on the album. I love it.

[@matthewnunley1775]

I am not familiar with Blue Oyster Cult outside of the radio. So leaving them out my top 5 is; 1) Toys In The Attic 2) Rocks 3) Get Your Wings 4) Ted Nugent 5) Kiss

[@davidrold9770]

Great show guys. I think Alice Cooper would have fit even better than BOC. Now I've ranked these albums but I must say ahead of the list. I've never been into BOC as much as the other three principal groups. Now I've seen Kiss 10 times starting in 1975. I've seen Aerosmith 6 times starting in 1976 I've seen Ted Nugent 11 times starting in 1976 when he opened for Black Sabbath & blew them off the stage. Now Blue Oyster Cult I've seen them 3 times & it's never been because of them. I seen Rainbow open for them. I seen the Black & Blue tour with Sabbath when Dio was in the band. And the last time they was part of the Summer Daze Tour with Steppenwolf, Foghat & Pat Travers. Oh, & I've seen Alice Cooper 16 times starting in 1973. My list. 1. Rocks 2. Ted Nugent 3. Kiss 4. Cat Scratch Fever 5. Toys In The Attic 6. Free For All 7. Hotter Than Hell 8. Weekend Warriors 9. Ace Frehley 10. Dress To Kill 11. Aerosmith 12. Night In The Ruts 13. Love Gun 14. Get Your Wings 15. Destroyer 16. State Of Shock 17. Rock & Roll Over 18. Draw The Line 19. Tooth Fang & Claw 20. Call Of The Wild 21. Survival Of The Fittest live 22. St. Paradise 23. Blue Oyster Cult 24. Secret Treaties 25. Mirrors 26. Spectres 27. Agents Of Fortune 28. Dynasty 29. Tranny & Mutation 30. Paul Stanley 31. Marriage On The Rock/Rock Bottom 32. Gene Simmons 33. Peter Criss

[@Duqsteel1115]

I actually like Peter Criss’ 78 solo album more than Gene Simmons’ album. Yeah, not Kiss sounding, but as an album in a whole, it has catchy songs on it. As always, Martin and I are two dudes that like the same bands, but disagree on what we like from those bands. 😂

[@damienfoyer]

If the Peter Criss album had more rock, it wouldn't be assumed as the worst of the four. The Gene Simmons album is not strong at all.

[@BadNewsDave]

Rocks, Van Halen, Rocket to Russia, Love Gun, Rock and Roll Over, Kiss, Hotter Than Hell, Toys in the Attic, Dream Police, and Destroyer would be my top ten.

[@thetownspeople6486]

How can you rank BOC’s debut below Mirrors? Unbelievable.
