Kiss has plenty of really good songs, but they seem like a dumb band to get really fanatical about. Also, Gene Simmons yuck.

I love Kiss -- but they are a bit like the Eagles for me in that they have tons of singles that I love but their non-singles, for the most part...peeeeeyew. Like, AVOID.

I don't know if you can see it but I have drawn "Paul Stanley of Kiss" on the chalkboard in the grandparents' kitchen.

Or started to draw him, anyway.

Haha, I love that you titled it "Paul Stanley of Kiss" to avoid confusion.

my next door neighbors had one of those official "Kiss makeup" sets and I went over to their house all excited for them do paint my face like Ace Frehley but they painted my face like Peter Criss and I was SO mad. I came home crying and Mum was very confused by the whole thing. "But you like cats..."

This is not a picture of my wife, but back in the 70s she and her neighbors dressed up in these KISS costumes for halloween one year.

YES I was Paul Stanley of Kiss for Halloween for a couple of years with the same terrible mask and plastic bib combo.
Unfortunately I can't find the picture of me wearing a Def Leppard Pyromania baseball shirt and sporting DIY Kiss makeup, but anyway, when is that hair metal poll again?

You'd posted it in Tuomas's old thread, but I just checked and the links were to the fb account you don't have anymore. :(

I think I nuked that without downloading any of the pictures, either.
Oh well. Life is fleeting.

I have a picture of my sister as Gene Simmons w/ her college friends as the rest of the band, I think this was popular in the 80s

Mrs. Life says that she got stuck with Ace Frehley, which apparently none of her older brothers wanted, because she was littlest and a girl.
― how's life, Friday, 29 August 2014 18:39 (nine years ago) link
i loved ace because he was silver and silver was the best
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 29 August 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link
Ace Frehley was always my favorite. He was from SPACE.
― carl agatha, Friday, 29 August 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I would have figured Peter Criss or Paul would have been the least wanted, but what do I know.

Hmm, strange. Restarted Spotify, no help. Could you repost the link to the playlist?
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Thursday, August 28, 2014 10:00 AM (4 days ago)
I think maybe the playlist got changed from a public to a private one somehow? It doesn't show up in the list of your public playlists. I dunno.

Still empty. Oh well, it is a mystery as they say but no biggie if I'm the only one who can't see the tracks.

Crack the Sky! I forgot about them completely.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:28 (nine years ago) link
They regularly played somewhere that advertised on the radio a lot when I was a kid and when I see the name all I can think is the radio commercial announcer guy's manly voice saying CRACK THE SKY.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:30 (nine years ago) link
i had always assumed they were a pittsburgh thing, but wiki says they were mainly popular on baltimore radio
'from the greenhouse' is very late-floyd/queensryche with huge gated drums and a children's choir. i love it
― mookieproof, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:36 (nine years ago) link
Crack The Sky are still enduringly beloved in Baltimore (and nowhere else). they co-headlined a show with Boston recently, and the local classic rock station plays "She's A Dancer" and "Hot Razors In My Heart" pretty regularly.

Hot Razors in My Heart! Yes!
I knew some dude would have first hand knowledge of CRACK THE SKY.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 12:05 (nine years ago) link
OMG YES CRACK THE SKY
They were pretty much hometown boys (Weirton being only about a 45 minute drive from Pittsburgh). They were awfully popular here in the mid 70s (Hot Razors in My Heart and Rangers at Midnight especially) but their popularity didn't endure here the way it did in Baltimore.
And yes, this poll was so much fun, it makes me a little bit sad that it couldn't have lasted forever.
― The Velvet Fog called me a motherfucker (Sandy), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 04:03 (nine years ago) link
Oh, and Surf City, too. That was the song from their first album that was waaaaay more popular on Pittsburgh radio in 1975 than She's a Dancer was.
