Kiss "Kiss" cassette tape

Where it all began. Well, I mean, after The New York Dolls and Alice Cooper. But, for Gene, Peter, Paul and Ace, this is where they paint it on and rock it out. They were not the greatest studio band, but they were plenty good at times. And this is one of those times. “Black Diamond,” “Nothing to Lose” and “Strutter” are all essential Kiss. Without them, we don’t have Insane Clown Posse and GWAR. But we also don’t have The Replacements.
