I'm going to squeeze this one into the metal thread. Not heavy by today's standards, but let's face it, in 1976 this was pretty heavy and 'hardcore' to some degree.
Where to start? The biggest band in the world for about 2-3 years (1976-1978), there's a lot to like about KISS in that era.
2 of their greatest songs. Deuce, which still is a magnificent hard rock song over 40 years later, which includes one of the greatest rock 'n roll/metal screams of all time by Gene Simmons at about 2:39.
I included Strutter, which is an underrated power chord song with absolutely beautiful solo's by Ace. Ace imo was a very underrated guitarist and took a back seat to pretty much every other high profile lead player of the late 70's. But for my money his solo's were perfectly written into the song, and like fine wine just very smooth and incredibly fitting.
Just listen to how beautiful the solo's are in these 2 songs. They will hook you.
Deuce, one of the greatest hard rock songs every written and Strutter, Ace at his absolute best.
I know our old friend T would get a kick out of these and it would bring back some good memories for him. I hope he's smiling seeing this post !
