Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of KISS’ Dynasty album. I have, of course, written about it before. You can actually read my account of it here. Since it’s a “Sounds Like Saturday” post, I’ll just post a tune. Hahbahdat? This is one of my faves on the album and it’s from before Paul lost his…

Salutations™!! Today is the 46th anniversary of KISS. The band started in 1973 but this album came out on February 18, 1974. Only eight months older than its successor, Hotter Than Hell which was only five months before its successor, Dressed To Kill. This isn’t my top KISS album but came in at #3 on my rankings (you can…
Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of one of my favorite KISS albums, Hotter Than Hell. I liked my writeup from last year and I’m reposting it. … It is one of my faves, for sure. It was one of the first albums I ever got in the 70s and it was one of two…
Yesterday was September 18, which means it’s the biggest release day in KISStory. September 18, 1978, saw all four KISS solo albums (Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss) released. September 18, 1983, saw Lick It Up released. September 18, 1987, saw Crazy Nights released. So, six KISS albums were released on that day. All six of…
Salutations™!! We didn’t get to Underdog Records yesterday due to our travels for the KISS concert. It was 3B’s and The BCPF’s first KISS concert and 3B’s first overall. They had smiles on their face all night long but some of that could have come from watching me. I have seen KISS about 11 times…
Salutations™!! I know I said that I was done with these, but I had to write about something, right? Today is the 44th anniversary of the release of KISS’ Dressed to Kill album. Probably my least favorite of the “Klassic KISS” albums, it still has plenty of proud moments for me. One of my favorite KISS…
Salutations™!! This will be brief but I just wanted to say that I found the absolute best SiriusXM channel, ever. It is called KISS Army Radio and it is 95% KISS and 5% their influences or bands that may have opened for them, like Rush, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc. I found…
Salutations™!! First off, let me say happy birthday to Paul Stanley. He turns 67 today! A very influential figure to my own musical journey. It felt like we zoomed in and through Underdog Records yesterday. The BCPF and I are either recovering from or fighting off sickness. But, we ate breakfast in a hurry and…
Salutations™!! Have you recovered from the first half of the list? Are you torn up about it? That’s okay. I’m used to that. So, here we go into the top 15 KISS albums in my preferred order. Let’s go! #15 — Crazy Nights (1987). Yeah, this gets a lot of flack for being bubble gum, sugary rubbish,…
Salutations™!! I threatened this a while back. I threatened that I would do my own ranking list of KISS albums, and here it is. There are a few criteria to this list and I will give some details as to why on some of them. This is my opinion and not based on anything other than…
