I'm partial to "You Put the 'X' in Sex" ("love is like a muscle and you make me wanna flex" -- WTF?) and "Flaming Youth", which used to make a great 1-2-punch with Alice Cooper's "Department of Youth". And their cover of "And Then (S)he Kissed Me" is quite criminally underrated IMHO.
I find the vitriol expressed in the comments to those videos kind of amazing. Why devote such energy? If you don't like it, don't listen. And it seems like there's a guy on each thread who's getting really pissed 'cause they're a "sell out."
Well--yeah! No kidding--I thought that was their who point. Fucking rock and roll--bitches and money!
Of course, it ain't very good rock and roll, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
PS: The lamest, but biggest sing-a-long high school jack up the car radio anthem: Crazy Crazy Nights.
Gene Simmons himself said it best: "Sellout? You're damn right I sell out - every night!"
Even in these days of nigh-instant worldwide communication, it remains tragically easy to miss a memo. If the internet has taught me anything, it's that there are people everywhere who take any random subject you can think of very seriously.
