*Disclaimer* I'm only including STUDIO RECORDINGS so no live versions and NO SOLO ALBUM TRACKS!! Let's do the damn thing, here's my top KISS tracks.
50. Uh! All Night (Asylum)
- A classic 80s KISS anthem that is as fun as it is infectious. When you work all day you gotta uh! all night bruh.
49. Hide Your Heart (Hot in the Shade)
- Paul's attempt at "Livin' On a Prayer," Hide Your Heart is a story about love and hoodlums. No one knows the mean streets like Paul Stanley....
48. All Hell's Breaking Loose (Lick it Up)
- Hope you guys like Vinnie because he shows up on this list a whole lot. Worship.
47. All The Way (Hotter Than Hell)
- All the Way is an underrated gem on the Hotter...record I love the main riff and it's simple, haunting, and effective.
46. Tears are Falling (Asylum)
- I really hated Asylum growing up but over the years it's crept up my list of favorite KISS albums. Tears are Falling has a great riff and is super duper 80s pop metal.
45. Exciter (Lick It Up)
- In the Year of our Vinnie 1983, this gem was created. He will come back.
44. Forever (Hot in the Shade)
- This is a great Stanley ballad although it reminds me of that ridiculous Folgers coffee commercial he did. Anyway, it's forever bros.
43. Magic Touch (Dynasty)
- I was half tempted to put this song in the top 20 but expect another Dynasty track to be higher than you'd think. It was a toss up between this and "I Was Made for Loving You" but this made the cut because it is a catchy disco-fusion number that manages to still rock unlike the former which just reeks of Paul being way too Paul. Bass line owns your face.
42. A Million to One (Lick It Up)
- This is a favorite among 80s KISS fans and is a really underrated Paul ballad but another 80s Paul ballad beat this at a higher spot. Anyway this song has a great riff and chorus with Stanley laying down some great soulful vocals.
41. Detroit Rock City (Destroyer)
- I really don't like Destroyer at all. Overproduced Bob Ezrin lame fest responsible for the birth of KISS hate but this song is classic. The movie is also great.
40. Hotter Than Hell (Hotter Than Hell)
- Self explanatory. Song rules
39. Take Me (Rock n' Roll Over)
- Rock n' Roll Over > Destroyer on any planet because of rockin' tracks like Take Me. Song is about bangin'
38. Love Gun (Love Gun)
- Essential 70s KISS, song is about ya dick
37. God Gave Rock n' Roll to You II (Revenge)
- A song for the greatest rock drummer, the Thunder God Eric Carr. R.I.P.
36. King of the Mountain (Asylum)
- The heaviest song on an album with a whole lot of neon and glitter. Rules
35. Crazy, Crazy Nights (Crazy Nights)
- For when you crack open them cold ones with the boys
34. Keep Me Comin' (Creatures of the Night)
- Essential heavy Creatures track about that good pussy
33. Domino (Revenge)
- A great Gene song from Revenge full of attitude. When it comes to songs about nailing underage tail Gene really knows what he's doing.
32. Firehouse (KISS)
- In all honesty I really enjoy the live version of this song better but Firehouse is a classic KISS tune and is a heavy song for 1973.
31. Goin' Blind (Hotter Than Hell)
- "I really hate KISS but Goin' Blind is cool." - Every dorky Melvins fan ever. Anyway, song rules and is a haunting and dark ballad. Great Gene Song.
30. Rocket Ride (Alive II)
- A definitive Ace jam, Rocket Ride is arguably better, albeit less legendary, than Shock Me. It's really no wonder Ace's solo album was miles ahead of everyone else's. Song's about a girl riding your shwantz. Rules.
29. King of the Night Time World (Destroyer)
- One of the best tracks on a ridiculously overrated piece of crap album
28. I've Had Enough (Animalize)
- If you don't like Animalize you lack testicles. Song shreds, album shreds. Period.
27 Strutter (KISS)
- Best album opener in Kisstory
26. Lick It Up (Lick It Up)
- The dark lord Sathanas = Vinnie
25. Creatures of the Night (Creatures of the Night)
- Have you figured it out yet that I like this record a lot?
24. Dance All Over Your Face (Lick It Up)
- No one ever talks about this song, one of my favorite Gene songs about I think beating the shit out of a chick. It was the 80s.
23. Heaven's On Fire (Animalize)
- AMAZING track that is undeniable. A Stanley song that even he couldn't wreck with too much flamboyance
22. Cold Gin (KISS)
- I love Gin, ironically sung by someone who never drank
21. I Want You (Rock n' Roll Over)
- True story, I lost my virginity while this song was on...I didn't last the length of the song
20. Got To Choose (Hotter Than Hell)
- Who doesn't love this track? It's Paul's favorite I believe
19. Shock Me (Love Gun)
- The Spaceman's finest moment. I really wish he would have sung on more 70s tracks.
18. Watchin' You (Hotter Than Hell)
- Largely overlooked due to another track on this album you'll see later but Watchin' You is a great bluesy Gene song.
17. I Just Wanna (Revenge)
- I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion, never change Paul
16. Young and Wasted (Lick It Up)
- We haven't even scratched the surface of Vinnie tracks yet kids, hold on tight.
15. I Stole Your Love (Love Gun)
- This should be higher but I'm too lazy to change it now. Arguably a top ten 70s track about everything else they sang about in the 70s.
14. I Still Love You (Creatures of the Night)
- HERE is the greatest 80s Paul ballad kids. Heavy with his BEST vocal performance. Play this after your chick breaks up with you for a Jamaican guy.
13. Dr. Love (Rock n' Roll Over)
- Quintessential Gene. Inspired by a great 3 Stooges short.
12. She (Dressed to Kill)
- Probably the most Zeppelin KISS song and a highlight on Dressed to Kill.
11. God of Thunder (Destroyer)
- Despite the stupid little kid talking and Bob Ezrin trying to ruin it, this is a great and classic Gene song that inspired millions. Paul's version...yikes.
10. Get All You Can Take (Animalize)
- THIS RIFF OWNS YOUR LIFE. Paul is on record saying this is one of his favorite tracks and he is right, the most underrated song they have.
9. Black Diamond (KISS)
- THE DRUMS LEVITATE AT THE END OF THIS SONG LIVE COME ON GUYS
8. Unholy (Revenge)
- 1992, ten years after he's gone and still calling Vinnie when they need a heavy song. Unreal.
7. Rock n' Roll Hell (Creatures of the Night)
- Gene's BEST vocal performance, a gritty Creatures song sung with soul and bravado. Co-written by Bryan Adams.
6. Sure Know Something (Dynasty)
- Here it is, my favorite song on Dynasty and one of my favorite 70s songs period.
5. Strange Ways (Hotter Than Hell)
- Psychedelic and dark, Strange Ways shows Peter giving a great vocal performance as well. A great ending to their best 70s record.
4. Deuce (KISS)
- No words, just awesome
3. Parasite (Hotter Than Hell)
- Everyone's favorite 70s track it seems and who am I to disagree? Balls out classic rock
2. I Love It Loud (Creatures of the Night)
- I swear to god the drums on this song are other-wordly. The anthem from KISS' heaviest offering.
1. War Machine (Creatures of the Night)
- The single greatest riff ever written by anyone in any band on any planet in any universe. Period.
- Joe
