Very entertaining I totally disagree with the album rankings but that is what makes being a KISS fan fun, talking about the music.

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.

The debut will always be my favorite!

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.

My Top 10 KiSS Albums 1. Love Gun 2. Destroyer 3. Rock and Roll Over 4. Lick it up 5. KISS 6. Dressed to Kill 7. Hotter Than Hell 8. Revenge 9. Monster 10. UnMasked

You and I think very alike... Dynasty, Creatures, and Rock and Roll Over are also my top three favorites! You explain every album so accurately it's just great haha. Great video!

Top 5 Kiss Album (if not solo albums included) 5.destroyer 4.creatures of the night 3.hotter than hell 2.dressed to kill 1.kiss

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!

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!

Bro, I'm 51, and I gotta say your KISS discography review here is dead on accurate! Your list is exactly perfect bro. I've watched about 5 of these before & some have Revenge as #2...lol, and Monster in their top 10? WTF? Great job man. You get it. Keep up the good work. ⚡🤘⚡

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 !

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.

With Creatures, Kiss was proving a point on how great of an album they could make without Ace and Peter and they succeeded..Carrs drumming,Vinnies playing and a few other ghost musicians,Paul and Gene's great vocals and the brilliant song writing makes this a top Kiss album..oh ..and the Production is INCREDIBLE and my favorite produced Kiss album!

When Ace was "Shocked" he was in Lakeland, Fl. Nor North Carolina. But I liked the rest of your video. Nice job.

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.

20 - Music from the elder 19 - Crazy nights 18 - Sonic boom 17 - Hot in the shade 16 - Animalize 15 - Carnival of souls 14 - Monster 13 - Unmasked 12 - Lick it up 11 - Creatures of the night 10 - Asylum 9 - Kiss 8 - Psycho circus 7 - Revenge 6 - Dressed to kill 5 - Dynasty 4 - Destroyer 3 - Hotter than hell 2 - Rock and roll over 1 - Love gun

This video is killer man. You did such a good job editing it all together. Nice work!

Rock & Roll Over always has & always been the best. Dynasty is way down there for me. 73 to 77 are the beat years .everything else except Creatures is sub standard.

Great vid man!! 20) Carnival Of Souls 19) Sonic Boom 18) Music From The Elder 17) Crazy Nights 16) Revenge 15) Animalize 14) Psycho Circus 13) Hot In The Shade 12) Creatures Of The Night 11) Monster 10) Lick It Up 9) Asylum 8) Unmasked 7) Destroyer 6) Hotter Than Hell 5) Dressed To Kill 4) Dynasty 3) KISS 2) Rock n Roll Over 1) Love Gun

I’ve always said Creatures was great, and should get more radio play for sure.

My top 5 1. Rock and roll over 2.love gun 3. Destroyer 4. Hotter than hell 5. KISS

I love Rocky movies... and "My Way". I love the motivational stuff. But I certainly appreciate your video and your opinion.

Nice video man, takes a lotta effort to make these sort of vids and its always interesting to see different opinions on discographies

fuck yeah great to see a list with Dynasty that high up! its my favorite KISS album

Totally enjoyed this, sensible and subjective. Someone else else on this planet agrees with my ranking Creatures #1 and Dynasty #2. Hardest album for me to rank is always Love Gun for one of the reasons you pointed out (filler), the title track IMO is KISS most iconic and the rest of songs on that album pale in comparison.

At the time Revenge came out it was the best thing! A great comeback album. Kiss was pretty much forgotten after Crazy Nights in Europe.

I'm totally with you about "Lick it up"; "Hotter Tailandia hell", "Dinasty" and, most of all, "Music from the Elder"✌🏻

I just found you, as this was my 7th Kiss ranking video I've watched in the past 2 days. Kiss was my first concert during their Hot in the Shade tour. I first saw them appear on an episode of Phil Donahue and wanted to know more immediately. All these decades later and this cheesy band that wears makeup has endured as a personal favorite. Subscribed!

Great work, man. I grew up on KISS since I was eight years old - and they'll always have a special place in my heart's rock and roll hall of fame, Thommy Thayer be damned. Hell, they're easily the most important band of my life. I never listened to "Monster" and "Sonic Boom" in their entirety (blame it on the Spaceman/Catman effrontery), so I leave these out. But the rest goes like this: 18 Psycho Circus 17 Carnival Of Souls 16 Crazy Nights 15 Hot In The Shade 14 Asylum 13 Animalize 12 Revenge 11 Dynasty 10 The Elder 09 Unmasked 08 Lick It Up 07 Destroyer 06 Love Gun 05 Dressed To Kill 04 Creatures Of The Night 03 KISS 02 Rock'N'Roll Over 01 Hotter Than Hell

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.

1, Dressed To Kill 2. Kiss 3. Rock And Roll Over 4. Love Gun 5. Hotter Than Hell

good to see some love ❤ for DYNASTY

Awesome list even though it is unusual to see The Elder over Destroyer. Anyway, I like his list and yes Creatures and Dynasty rules!

Dude I really enjoyed watching your ranking, I totally agree that you put Creatures of the night in First position, BUT it still baffles me that you ranked the Elder before Love Gun!! But it’s okay, that’s just, like, your opinion, man 😛 But seriously good job, it must be pretty hard to rank all those albums.

1:00 You're right Paul, this spells I r o n M a i d e n ... The greatest band of all time... K. I. S. S is good, but no, you're not Iron Maiden

To me 70s KISS can't be beat! Rock and Roll Over is by far the best KISS album ever! ( My opinion)

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

A 57 year old KISS fan checking in here, although I don’t totally agree with your list, I definitely had fun watching and listening to your video, job well done youngster

Kiss fan for 40 years. And I mean HUGE Kiss fan! Love this video & review. So so so entertainin!

First album is my favourite

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.

Dude the best band can be any band someone loves . If someone loves Britney fox over the Beatles that’s what floats their boat lol

you have a great channel that will soon catch fire and get tons of subs ... Dont give up!

50th Anniversary of the debut brought me here!! Yes, a lot of the songs are turds, and yes, Gene and Paul are horrible people, but you brought it all together in the end when explaining why you love KISS. I couldn't have agreed more. And I lost my virginity to Tora Tora's "Walkin' Shoes".

Love them all except Carnival of Souls

My top 5 KISS albums 1. Destroyer 2. Carnival of Souls 3. Revenge 4. Rock N Roll Over 5. KISS

I love this channel. You should have way more views.

My ranking is: 20- Elder 19- Hot in the Shade 18- Carnival 17- Unmasked 16- Crazy Nights 15- Monster 14- Sonic Boom 13- Psycho Circus 12- Dressed to Kill 11- Animalize 10- Lick it up 9- Asylum 8- Revenge 7- Dynasty 6- RNR Over 5- Love Gun 4- Hotter than Hell 3- Destroyer 2- KISS 1- Creatures

Good video! Wasn't totally sure on all the picks but understood your reasoning, so I respect you my man!

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.

Ace's electrocution was in Lakeland, Florida in 1976.

3:22 Hellz. YES!!! I've been saying Ace's solo record is the best KISS record for years now!!

My Ranking and My favorite songs. 1. Creatures of The Night - Title Track/ I Still Love You 10/10 2. Hotter Than Hell - Strange Ways 10/10 3. Rock and Roll Over - Mr. Speed 9/10 4. Destroyer - Detroit Rock City 9/10 5. Lick It up - Million To One 9/10 6. Dynasty - Magic Touch 8.5/10 7. Asylum - I'm Alive (Really Underrated One) 8.5/10 8.

Sonic Boom - Say Yeah! 4/10 Also I agree with you on the Ace Frehley Album.

A lot of the songs you dont care for, i love. Thats why KISS appeals to so many.

#1 rock n roll over #2 alive 1 #3 destroyer #4 dressed to kill #5 hotter then hell #6 kiss #7 love gun #8 alive 2 #9 dynatsy then after these albums kiss lost me , they had a few songs on the rest of their catalog's i saw as what i grew up thinking what kiss was , but the newer kiss line up's didn't interest me. just an older fan of kiss and saw early live shows 4 times ( 75,76,77,78 )and thought they were the best live act.

I'd argue that "Forever" is the single best ballad KISS ever released. Just for that song, HitS doesn't deserve last place. . . maybe lower in the rankings tho.

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

Their first 6 albums including KISS Alive I & II

.... the elder.... over Destroyer. Come on haha 😂

Kiss albums ranked: 1. Destroyer (1976) 2. Kiss (1974) 3. Hotter than Hell (1974) 4. Dynasty (1979) 5. Dressed to Kill (1975) 6. Music from "The Elder" (1981) 7. Love Gun (1977) 8.

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

How on earth are destroyer and love gun not top 5, good video anyways

Revenge is def the best 'out of make up' album.

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.

1. Hotter Than Hell 2. KISS 3. Destroyer 4. Rock 'n Roll Over 5. Unplugged 6. ACK !!! Anything after Dynasty ? (& I only mention Dynasty for Sure Know Somethin'- I have a soft spot for that track alone....) Never heard it- ever. Except Lick it Up & God Gave Rock 'n Roll to You II. And I only listened to that last one to see what they did with the Argent original.... I grew up with them & they lost me around the solos/KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (yes, watched it on NBC with my friends...)/Dynasty era. I literally decided they were for kids, broke my albums & tore up the covers in favor of "real music" like The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Yes, King Crimson, ect.... Funny thing: we all come back tho, don't we !?!?! 🚬😎👍

First time on the channel and enjoying the album rundown

1. Love Gun 2. Destroyer 3. Dressed to Kill 4. Dynasty 5. The Elder (Music from) 6. Rock and Roll over 7. Hotter than Hell 8. Creatures of the Night These are my Favorite Albums before i Continue i have to say I prefer every Frehley‘s Comet or Ace Frehley Album & most 1978 Kiss Solo Albums , (This Ranking does Not including Alive ! or Alive II) over any other Kiss Album i Not Named here.

1. Hotter than hell 2. KISS 3. ace frehley 4. Creatures of the night 5. Destroyer 6. Love gun 7. Rock and Roll over 8. Paul stanley 8/9. New songs from Killers 9. Dressed to kill 10. Unmasked 11.

Hot in the shade 24. Sonic boom

I put a dollar on a fishing hook and caught Gene Simmons.

You did a great job presenting your opinions

FINALLY someone I can agree with and I concur! Skip song number one of Dynasty and we're in business !

Great video. You got the top 10 correct for sure. Rock on brother! Dynasty rules!

My top 5 albums are 1. Animalize 2. Carnival Of Souls 3. Elder 4. Creatures Of The Night 5. Lick It Up

My top ten: Revenge Creatures of the night Asylum Crazy nights Dynasty Lovegun Hot in the shade Dressed to kill Kiss Unmasked

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。

Music from the Elder and crazy Nights my favorite albums fuck it

A KISS fan myself for 50 years ! I feel they lost their way in the 80s

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

I like your review. I agree about the non makeup albums and the last 2 Kiss albums they just aren't that good. I cant get behind Dynasty being so high but it isnt just the disco side I cant really get into Charisma or X-Ray Eyes or even Sure Know Something. I am glad to see the Elder up there as it is very underrated. Hotter Than Hell would have to be my favorite Kiss album and you have a point that it sounds rough but that is what I like about it. Creatures of The Night is a good choice as top album for Kiss. I might need to check out the Alice Cooper review you have. Good job on this one. Enjoyed it.

1 crazy nights 2 asylum 3 lick it up 4 creaturs of the night 5 animalize 6 hot in the shade 7 kiss 8 love gun 9 dynasty 10 unmasked 11 physco circus 12 revenge 13 destoyer 14 rock and roll over 15 hotter than he'll 16 the elder 17 dressed to kill 18 carnival of souls 19 monster 20 sonic boom

When you think about it, kiss was such a miss, or miss, or miss, or hit band

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.

I had to pause the video and settle down forba bit when I saw Dressed To Kill at #10.

"Kiss Alive!" #1!!!!

Great reviews ! Yes and I will def listen to some KISS today ! Goanna revisit “Unmasked” today !! And “Dynasty”

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.

Best review I have ever seen! Completely disagree with ratings of the albums, but shit this was funny and insightful,very well done

Great video. Disagree with a lot but very well done. And yes to creatures. All killer. Zero filler.

I disagreed with many of your reasons behind disliking some of the lower ranked albums, thinking you only cared about the hard rockin' stuff and dismissed the fluff - and then you come back later and give props to things like "Hard Luck Woman" and "Kissin' Time". Your tastes are quite eclectic. While my list significantly differs from yours, I respect your list, simply because you explain and defend why you like/dislike it and no one can tell you you're wrong about your opinion. I will say, I am impressed with your defending "Dynasty" and disco music and the disco influence on the band. Dynasty is a great album. 1) Destroyer 2) Hotter Than Hell 3)Kiss 4) Dynasty 5) Rock and Roll Over

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

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

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

say what u will Monster is my favorite KISS album

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.

@0:20 -- he tried to trademark the horns, not copyright them -- there's a difference!

I enjoyed this! As a young buck I was a huge Kiss fan. Kiss is the reason I started playing guitar and playing in bands. This inspired me to go back to my cheesy roots!

I don't agree with a single placement, except creatures. But that was a great vid

I’m with you on Destroyer being a bit pretentious. It’s a bit too refined to be definitively ‘Kiss.’ But Detroit Rock City and King of The Nighttime world are two of their strongest songs. Also, The Oath is a great song period.
