So the Album-a-day rules don't make a point about whether you really have to like an album to post about it. KISS? I can take it or leave it. I wanted to bring this up because I was a young tyke when this band took the nation by storm.
I think I first heard this album when a friend's older teenage brother had it on 8-track. It was a phenomenon because the big deal was that none of the band members were ever photographed without their makeup for a period of time.
Gene Simmons had a reputation for spitting blood, Peter Criss was "the cat", Simmons had a bass that was shaped like a battle axe. All kinds of urban legends about the band that their name stood for "Knights in the Service of Satan". Every Halloween kids had to get their KISS makeup - just for a band whose music, IMO was average at best.
TIA - Thanks KLL for letting me rant about music - Ryan you are up next!
