Kiss - Creatures of the Night....quite possibly their most underrated and best album....I'm not the biggest Kiss fan by any means, but this album is heavy!!!!

i have most of KISS' albums...for some reason i never bought Creatures Of The Night, not sure why,maybe i went off them around them, just know i wasnt impressd with "lick it up" before that one, so gave up until 'revenge'...

always thought "the elder" was underrated

they are a mixed bunch IMO, i usually find there are two or three great songs on each album,several average tracks and a couple of dud on each one...

"revenge" is my favourite of theirs, followed by "destroyer" and "psycho circus", the rest are just okay IMO....
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..."  -  Me 2014.

I've always liked Radio KAOS and The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking!

Roger's second solo album. Could have done without the nonsense between tracks but that helps
make it yet another concept album. Vegetable Billy calls in to the radio station with his
robotic voice. Without the lyric sheet you would never know what he is saying. Good enough
songs but nothing I love. Roger takes his jabs at the politics of the day, includng Maggie and
Ronnie, whose sole purpose was to bring nuclear destruction upon the planet. Billy will save
it. He is upset that brother Benny lost his coal mining job. Capitalism is to blame. He fools
the world into thinking ICBM's are about to be detonated around the world, while somehow
deactivating the military's power to retaliate. I'm just glad the planet was saved. The album
reached #25 in the UK and #50 in the US.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Has anyone ever listened to Gong? Is it just a pile of hippie noodlings or is it worth getting an album or two?

I have a couple of albums from a later incarnation of them and enjoy them - "Pierre Moerlen's Gong" -

The Expresso II album is another look at their sound (albeit a heavier sound than the first clip) from that era - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOseeE37sc
