Facts. He legit ranks it as the worst cuz of one ”bad lyric” like bruh? How tf is Flaming Youth worse than Great Expectations? Also maybe Paul meant that young people was fired up and about young people and teens who are kiss fans setting the world on fire with their energy. Even if it didn’t so fucking what if it’s about gay people? A band can sing about whatever they want? Let Me Go Rock N’ Roll is an absolute banger? So what if it had that old timey sound a band isn’t necesarily suppoused to follow the current format. Hell, thereare bands today who still make glam metal type music even if it’s not popural. And saying that Ace is a better bass player than Gene. Just cuz it’s complicated dosen’t mean it’s good. And just cuz it’s simple dosen’t mean it’s bad.

For me Unmasked is my favorite Kiss album too! I love how much Ace contributed along with Anton Fig playing drums. The production is kinda thin unfortunately with the guitars sounding like they're playing through a 5 watt Fender Champ. I'm from Vancouver Island Canada and my Grandparents used to winter in Palm Springs and before they came back they would ask if I wanted anything. I asked for this album on cassette. I remember it had a beige case which was odd, the cassette itself was white and the clear plastic screen on one side was missing. But in 1987 for me this album was almost perfect. As a drummer and bass player, Torpedo Girl was the holy grail to be able to play for me and my friends in our early teens. But as this guy mentions, the lyrics are beyond cheezy but I was too busy trying to learn how to play the hi-hat with my left foot on the up beat while playing a kind of syncopated thing with the snare and toms. Shandi is a very good song that in my eyes gets glazed over by many critics for whatever reason. Talk to Me and She's So European were great too. Is that you is even a song I crave to hear every now and again.

Haven't started watching the video yet but I love that this exists. Once I became a teenager back in 05-07 and started getting into music for the first time, I fell down the KISS rabbithole since they were my Dad's favourite band. I ripped a lot of the Kissology audio and uploaded it as bootlegs on Guitars 101. Fun times. The back catalog of KISS is a sort of boomer rock purgatory; what happens when very wealthy people have very bad song ideas yet can afford infinite studio time to ensure that these are packaged and sold as commercial products on a yearly basis. There is no set pattern to this chaos but it generally alternates between Gene the narcissistic sex pest, and Stanley Eisen being a more articulate and nuanced sex pest. There is a difference I promise and KISS fans will know what I'm talking about. The result is KISS' library being split effectively in two; there are songs the band was proud to play live (even if for a single tour, common with them) and are worth listening to over and over again, and the other half - close to ten whole album's worth - of the worst, most soulless and contrived boomer rock imaginable. Their work ethic is admirable for the sole reason that they wrote and sold as many brutal, soul-crushingly bad songs shoehorned onto good or otherwise great albums, as other bands have written total in their entire discography. This is probably why I love them so much. Their good songs are great, but their bad songs are completely unhinged and insane, and there are so goddamn many of them covering all possible rock subgenres. And KISS kept doing it, consistently until 2012, culminating in an entire album worth of forgettable music - their magnum opus. Monster is quintessential KISS. It's so bad I won't listen to it or pretend it exists, just as the band, in live shows, pretends half their discography doesn't exist either. Very meta! There are three songs that highlight this: Rockin' in the USA (Alive II), Fits Like a Glove, and Bang Bang You. Even on their most commercially successful albums, the band is creatively bankrupt and borderline retarded. Gene's penis is a snake. Paul's penis, however, is a cannonball! This is the nuance I was talking about. Germany was really neat. Truly we are in the presence of legends. Anyways the worst song off HITS is Read My Body.

Dirty livin is another one of my favorites. The bassline is one of my favorites, but I was a fan of the disco era stuff. ~Torpedo girl has a fantastic bassline, I agree. Spit is just a crazy song. The musicality of it is really really cool and rocky to me. I would like to point out that carnival has some heartfelt stuff on it like you said, including childhoods end and I will be there. I would personally take raise your glasses or I’ve finally found my way to be worse. We are one is corny but I do love it. Monster and sonic boom suffer a lot because of gene in my opinion.

Matt, I've been a Kiss fan since '76. I think you're spot on across the board. That said, while there are some good songs on Dynasty.. Dirty Livin' grew on me over the years. The demo was tougher, rougher, grittier (not just lyrically). And to be honest, the fact that it stands so far out from the rest of the tracks, well isn't that the point? Dynasty ultimately failed (from a perspective point of view) simply because Paul wanted to dive into disco and capitalize off that trend.. albeit his timing was horrible bc disco soared years earlier and died out by 1979 year end. For better or worse, I feel Dirty Livin' as a demo was more rock, less disco. Just didn't cut it on a disco album so they altered the time signature to create a disco track. Again, I see your POV. Definitely agree with you on the end result.

Pretty cool list! The kiss nerd in me must point out a few differences in opinion... great expectations, baby driver, hooligan, burn bitch burn, radar for love, you wanted the best are the worst tracks on their respective albums IMO

At least you guys can remember the names of the worst. As a kid I was like, WhatTheFuck is this shit!? And skip it, like I did by skipping every album after Dynasty because METALLICA made KISS look like 4 singing Jewish clowns.😜

I use to not like Let Me Go Rock 'n Roll until I realized that Peter has many great drum fills throughout. Torpedo Girl is vastly underrated.

I think that’s the fastest song KISS does. Under 3 minutes ?

"Getaway" may be Frehley's "least popular" song, but the solo kicks ass. He put everything into that. (I'd say "Anything For My Baby" was the candidate here. Paul comes up with a lot of filler if Gene ain't writing anything to bring to the bank.)

Love the shirt. Double Platinum is actually the first Kiss tape I owned.

Actually, Dirty Living's lyrics say "I take my FUROR (which is a synonym for fury, rage or madness) out on the street." So it wasn't a shot at Gene and Paul. Just a tricky word to sing. I agree on all your song choices, which is a first time I agreed completely with a Kiss list.

The last word in this lyric should be “crowd” rather than “street” (“I make my livin’ out on the streets” appears earlier in the song as one of many references to older Kiss songs where Peter sang). Peter takes his built-up “furor” (always thought it was “fury” pronounced in his native Brooklynese [fur-ah]) out on his drums for the fans!

Getaway is a great song. Lyrics are weak I agree however. Never dug Ladies in Waiting.

You are full of it dude. Dirty Livin' is the best song on Dynasty and my favorite Kiss deep track of all time. And is definitely a rock song, not disco. So goes the old saying: opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink.🤣

You did some extra credit worthy work on this one, Matt. Agreed with the list with the exception of one choice, but it’s not my list; it’s yours and I respect that entirely. But being a good sport. Uh, All Night makes me shake my head. Asylum I feel is gravely underrated. But to each their own!! 😊

Asylum and Dynasty are two kiss albums are underrated.

Actually, "Flaming Youth" is an obscure term that goes back decades before this album's release.
