Crazy nights was f#ckin huge here in the UK when I was growing up, became a kiss fan against all odds
Ed Hooper It’s all about the When and Where for my favorite albums.
When I became a fan it was 1976 so when there was a curve ball in the catalog I would be disgruntled like a MOFO!!!! Growing up with Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, Rock and Roll Over , ALIVE and then to bump into Dynasty, Unmasked, Elder and even Crazy Nights was like waking up next to a fat smelly broad😂😂🤩
Crazy Nights sucks big time!!!
Alive, Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, Kiss, Love Gun, Rock and Roll Over, Alive II, Hotter than Hell, Ace Frehley solo, Paul Stanley solo in order.
@@chrisjones8977 yours is a great top ten, Chris. Nice.
At the time it came out in I guess 1987 I loved it, I was 15 years old. I saw Kiss on that tour in January of 1988, my first concert. Great memories.
Great list Ralph. If i had to pick a list of least to fav would be hard for me. Love every album. But I'm not really a fan of Carnival Of Souls. But every else to me i never get tired of listening to.... Proud to be a KISS nerd 👍
I'm glad you gave Asylum more of a better ranking one of my favorite albums from kiss. My First kiss concert . I seen them at the cow palace. The band w.a.s.p opening band, great show. King of the mountain kicks ass . Paul and Gene vocals were on point and listen to Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick tearing up. Secretly Cruel is one of my Favorite tracks from Gene, Listen to Bruce solo sick.
Dr Fukk, 100% Ace Frehley solo is the best album with a Kiss logo on the front, still sounds amazing and innovative, very important for me... I got Dressed to Kill in second spot.
Would love to hear your top ten desert island discs, hard to choose I know but would be very cool... Respect...
I would like to see his top tens as well.
@@carmenowens3375 For Sure...!!!
I love this review, its honest rather than all the others I've seen that are just trying to please the majority. I completely agree with your point about Monster, I love that album and think it's massively underrated!
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video brother ... was so glad to see Rock and Roll Over right up there ... my all time favourite KISS album .....
Great review. “Unmasked” I so hated
that album when it came out but have to grown to love it.
That album took me completely by surprise. I loved it at first listen. I don't know why it's not revered very highly among others. I love it and never grow tired of it .
@@newavatar2947 I bought it as well when it came out and have always thought Unmasked was a consistent well produced album.
Agreed I remember the first time listening to it I hated it to no freakin end than I picked up maybe a year later and now it’s in my top 10 kiss albums go figure
I’m not a picklewhistler but unmasked is a very underrated album. It’s not the Love Gun or Rock and Roll Over kind of stuff that Kiss was known for but it is a damn good pop rock record. Paul, Gene, and Ace has great melodies and chorus on the album. “Tomorrow” and “Easy As it Seems” are some of the standouts in my opinion. Great fucking list though. Ace’s solo album is so damn good
Despite my avatar, my solo album order is this:
Ace
Gene
Peter
Paul
It's kind of an order of whose record surprised me most.
Ace, everyone doubted he could put anything together.
Gene, very undemonlike
Peter, pretty much what I expected, but like Ace, surprised he could do it
Paul, exactly what I expected. Not one surprise.
Fn pickle whistlers! Great video again Rman!
Agree ace frehley solo is amazing
Eddie Kramer greatest kiss producer
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RANKING THE SOLO ALBUMS AND THE LIVE RECORDS nobody covers these in kiss rankings and I would probably say this is my fav kiss ranking video so incredible dude
The guys from 3 sides are the ones disliking vids lol
I took a drink each time you said Pickle Whistler, and now I'm drunk as fuck.
I'm gonna put Dressed to Kill on the turntable.
Ralph I can imagine at 90 you yelling "Get off my lawn you pickle wistlers!"
Dude your scaring the shit out of me. (Another video you did where we’re on the same freq. )
You and I are in 100% agreement on the top 3 KISS Records. Rock & Roll Over is their best studio album. Only difference is I
Put Alive 3rd, Ace 2nd and Rock & Roll Over definitely number 1. I think you had Dressed to Kill as number 4? If so, absolutely right again.
Great video. I think I need to start checking out your other channels and Facebook. (Then get my fellow Metal Warrior Veterans to check out your stuff too)
🤘😎
Totally agree, The Elder and Unplugged are the two most underrated in the Kiss catalog
I think you mean Unmasked, right?
The Elder and Unmasked were the first two albums I got the remasters of if that tells you anything. She's so European and Easy as it Seems are favorites. I always thought the songwriting and concepts were special with those two. You know, the fake ass (but beautiful) girl you can't seem to shake and how it always seems like the breakup is so easy for the one person while the other is struggling with it.
ruclips.net/video/SqZkFJo2D_g/видео.html
Boston VH I kinda liked the Elder.
Love UNPLUGGED
@@legalfreedom Don't forget the hard-hitting "I". (My personal favorite from ELDER).
I think destoryer is the most overrated album in rock people glaze the album waaaaaay too much dont get me wrong king of the night time world and sweet pain are kick ass tracks but its Detroit rock city i have a problem with its like the most annoying song to me
Brilliant video, loved it. Great to see to see you pick the Ace solo album, it’s flawless. Rock And Roll Over is one of their best. I have a soft spot for Hotter Than Hell. Alive is phenomenal no doubt. The Elder is fantastic.
Also speedy recovery Doc! 🤘🏻🖤

Enjoy the videos. Keep up the awesome reviews.
You do great commentaries and you're a frickin riot!
Btw- Rock and Roll Over is my favorite KISS album. KISS Alive a close second.
I still maintain that the best drummer ever to be in the band was Anton Figg...from the David letterman show
So funny. I hate saying "but true" as well, but I understand, and I feel very similar to that. 🙂
What did Ace say on Live Plus 1, "Anton rules, doesn't he"
Fig Newton was better
To this day, Rock and Roll Over is the finest KISS album...
Feel better soon Dr!! 🤘🏻
Congrats on approaching 8 million views n feel better brother
I agree Lick it up is Awesome. The best non makeup Era albums No 1 Lick it up No 2 Ayslum no3 Animalize no4 Revenge no 5 Crazy Nights no6 hot in the shade no7 Carnival of Souls.
You just got a shot of....sweet pain. It can drive you insane.
I really like "I Still Love You" on the Unplugged album.
That's the album I would use to introduce KISS to women. Had that album on, after "I still love you" played, she just cowgirled the hell out of me...she didn't need foreplay, was ready after that song.
So it's on my fav list : )
Webster’s Dictionary 2020 needs to include the word Pickle-Whistler
Man, I like crazy nights! But it's nice to other people takes on these album, whether negative or not! But "crazy nights " is my 9th favorite! "Animalize" is my 2nd favorite! I agree on "Ace frehley" being the best solo!
The way you reviewed Unmasked on the podcast made me feel you were gonna put it on the bottom. Damn I love that album and the Paul Stanley solo album. Those albums give my pickle a tickle😆😆
I respect all of your opinions Ralph,I may disagree on some of those,but I swear on my life to not be a picklewhisler,I love your videos Ralph,keep kicking ass!!
Hey Ralph, great job ranking the Kiss albums! I'm really enjoying all of your Kiss related videos especially your album reviews. Rock on brother. Bob F.
New video - hell yeah!
Funny thing is Crazy Nights was one of my favourite albums when it was released but it didn’t age well and like you it’s my least favourite now, only Thief in the Night is good on it and the title track. But Ace Frehley solo album rules I agree! Good job keep it up!
Ralph I love your videos and podcasts. They’re so real. I remember you mentioned, before the Rock and Pod Expo, that people could donate and call in to discuss music or whatever. If that opportunity ever comes again, I would love to chip and and donate. I have so much about music I’d love to discuss with you! Love your stuff man. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Good call on the Peter Criss Solo...better then it gets credit for. Thanks
Get well soon - love the vids!
I love your channel,man!
Destroyer in my opinion is probably the best kiss album, and my favorite🤘
We should play drinking game every time he says pickle Whistler we drink.
I agree on the Alive 3 thing, it was stupid for them to put old songs on it...everything else you say I may not agree with but I respect either way
Ace's '78 album is the best of the 4, but if Paul and Gene HOARDED all of their best songs to use on their solos albums, their's would've been better. Could you imagine if Paul's '78 solo album had "Strutter", "Hotter Than Hell", "Detroit Rock City", "Black Diamond", "C'mon And Love Me", "Mr Speed", etc. It would've slayed! Ace admitted to holding onto songs for the solo record.
I still have my original 33 1/3 Rock And Roll Over with the sticker sheet. I also think the KISS, ACE solo is the best. Space Invader and Spaceman as well as Anomaly.
"Reason to Live" has really grown on me over the years from Crazy Nights. One of the few 80s KISS songs I listen to on a regular basis along with "Heaven's On Fire"
Ace Frehley is the best Kiss album. It's not a Kiss album but it is because it was marketed as a Kiss album and I agree that Rock And Roll Over is the best Kiss album with the original line up.
Peter Criss was the R&B guy of KISS. His album is pretty good. It's just being negatively judged by fans of a different genre.
It wouldn’t have matters if Peter played better than John Bonham. He thought he was better than the band, did nothing to improve his drumming, was unreliable for rehearsals, was prone to foolish actions including violence , was an ungrateful wife beater. The band was better off without him. To this day I haven’t read or heard a different opinion.
Please fix your Ace Frehley picture disc on the wall, it's off to the right a little.
That's funny I noticed that too OCD
I call you nothing but a great guy. My no 1 is Revenge and Crazy nights is in my top 10😊. Least favourite the elder.
Happy New year king.
Happy new year!
looks like i am in the minority here Unmasked is a great album..
I like unmasked there's not one bad song on the album. How can you not like a Kiss album that has three Ace Frehley songs? If I find fault with it it's only because there's no Peter Criss.
No, you're not in the minority. I love Unmasked too. 👍
It has some catchy songs ngl
So the Ad for it was spot on👍😁
I love it unmasked
FYI, that version of the first Kiss album with "Kissing Time" listed but missing from the album was likely original, a transitional/mispress from the tail end of the original pressings...
On the US copies, "Kissing Time" was listed on the Side II label of the vinyl, as well as a sticker mentioning it's inclusion on the front sleeve, but was never actually pressed on the album.
On Canada copies, "Kissing Time" was included in the track listings on the back of the sleeve, but not printed on the Side II label of the vinyl itself, and the track was never actually pressed to the album.
I could be wrong, I'm by no means a Kiss aficionado, just happened to be digging through this info on Discogs the other day before I came across this video. $80 actually seems to be roughly the going rate (in 2022 at least).
I really like your knowledge and enthusiasm. Great video. One of the facts about Ace that people don’t know is that Ace had an intestinal problem that caused him to have massive amounts of gas. There were times during concerts that the other members of kiss could not be around Ace because of the gas. Ace did not make any excuses, but readily admitted he had some intestinal problems and his gas was a real issue for him. I’m not sure if he ever got it corrected, but I would imagine passing gas as much as Ace did would be very embarrassing and uncomfortable for him. Great video and Alive 1975 is my favorite!
Unmasked is an underrated gem. That sugary sweet sound suits Kiss, and the production is top notch. I've sold Crazy nights so many times and rebought it. Only reason to own it for me is nostalgia and Bruce's solos.
Backup vocals on the Millennium Concert for Love Gun are phenomenal.
I really suggest that you change your camera angle so your in the center of the shot
Gavin 400617 lol
Awesome review keep it up!!!!
Rock n roll over rules lol great list brother keepem coming
Good list. RARO and Ace along with Alive is all you need for your desert island. Elder, agree also underrated and great album. I would put Psycho higher because of Within and Into the Void, but it' s fine where you put it. Unplugged also excellent.
Good shit as always Dr Fukk! My faves are always changing as well
Always appreciate ur reviews! Thanks Doc!
I love Crazy Nights. But I respect Dr. Fukks opinion. Because its his opinion. I dont care what others think and im sure hes the same way.
2:28 The best song on Crazy Nights is "Good Girl Gone Bad". 3:18 My least favorite KIϟϟ album is Hot in the Shade. 5:06 "All for the Glory" is the best track on Sonic Boom.
I went and cried to my mom, but she didn’t know what a pickle whistler was! 😂 great show as always!
this guy is the new Pepsi power hour and your headbangers ball....watchin you Alive lll is outstanding
Ace lives about 20 minutes away from my in Rancho Santa Fe, California. It's a gated neighborhood inside a gated community. I used to do carpet installation with my uncle and we did a repair job at Joan Krock's house, the widow of McDonalds Founder Ray Krock. And no, it wasn't a McMansion, lol. He has a nice modern house on a small plot near her large plot. So, don't ever feel sorry for Ace. He's got an exclusive mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, a beuatiful young lady and all kinds of cars and toys. I'm not saying he hasn't earned it but dont feel that just cause he's not in the main lineup, that he's in the dumps. Shmackahmagob
Well my new favorite and probably permanent favorite is Creatures of the Night. Definitely the last phenomenal album from them. Lick It Up is also really fucking good too.
Right now I am hooked on Deuce AND sTRUTTER!!...
I didn't think you liked 'Within". Glad you came around to it. Makes me think of a cross between George Harrison's Indian stuff and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'. Gene's great when he goes all Beatle-y.

@@stoss4259 I forgot about revenge ! Thank you. I would place it below monster
@@godoftoysandthunderawesome9513 great to see Dynasty at number one - excellent album. I also agree with Destroyer at number 2.
@@stoss4259 The reason dynasty is number one is not only due to it being a great album but the album cover and the costumes are amazing. And I was made for loving you got me into KISS but I also love the other tracks.
I want to say I like Crazy Nights just because I wouldnt put it on the bottom, but, aside from the title track, I can't actually name a song on the album
Love the lead solo on under the rose with that full second of delay, very cool
Ace was the Keith Richards of Kiss and that album kicks ass. my fav's from my childhood will always be Destroyer and the totally underrated The Elder. Under The Rose is Totally Epic
I bought the gene solo album back when it came out,what was I thinking.
Don't feel bad, so did I lol
You were thinking “that’s the greatest album cover I’ve ever seen”. No wait that’s what I was thinking when I bought it.
I appreciate that you change your mind on the albums. Its pkei to do that. I use to dislike the Elder and Peter Criss's solo album, etc. Hell i use to be a big kiss fan until I read too much into the shit Paul had to say. Id say the least favourite of mine would be Sonic Boom and my absolute faviurite is Love Gun. But i will say this...the weakest KISS song i have ever heard was Freak. Despite its positive message, it was a lame song.
In my opinion Carnival of Souls is way worse than Crazy Nights
I must agree but I still love "hate" and lmaster and slave"
Your opinion is wrong! Just kidding lol. But i like COS way better than CN. Much better lyrically, and the dirgy guitar sound reminds me of a modern Hotter Than Hell.
@Andy Salter I love monster more then sonic boom. But I do love modern day Delilah, Russian roulette and say yeah. And hot in the shade I don't like either but I still love forever, rise to it, hide your heart and little Cesar
@@mikeracicot5003 I never thought of it like that the modern-day hotter then hell. I'm just not a big fan of grunge. Even tho I like nirvana. My mom loves grunge. I don't know it's kinda like punk in a way I may like Billy idol and the ramones but I don't like the sex pistols. I like a few grunge artist just not a big fan of grunge.
honestly I agree with almost all these! nice job!

SOOOO..... we have seen a video where you present your favorite KISS albums and songs so maybe you could somewhere in the future do a video of the worst KISS songs in your opinion ? That would be awesome. [ btw. Read My Body will be 1st right ? :D ] Love your work
i love all of your reviews…need to re-watch this and count how many times you say “pickle whistler” 😂
Destroyer was my favorite kiss album since I was a kid. Now my opinion is kind of changed. I like rock ‘n’ roll all over or the Ace Frehley album. I love creatures of the night too.
I love the Elder. Got it when it came out. Yeah it was weird but i thought Kiss was just onto something i wasnt aware of yet. Made it mysterious. Still listen to it. Young and wasted is the best Kiss song. Especially off LIU. Also love Not for the Innocent and All Hell. Sooo great.
Lick It Up is definitely my favorite non-makeup album and I may even put it in my top 5 Kiss albums.
Nice to see Unplugged getting some much deserved respect. I like a lot of those versions better than the original versions like Goin' Blind, Plaster Caster, Got To Choose & Comin' Home. Domino is pretty cool after Gene finally got the words right. lol
HOTTER THAN HELL!! To me is the heaviest Kiss album and possibly their best album! The guitar tones are straight out of Hell!! But I still love Creatures and Love Gun more!
I like Peter's solo album as well. "I Can't Stop The Rain" should have been a single.
Great call on Ace's album......he's a beast on that one
Awesome, I love KISS!!!
My list is a little different but that’s what it’s all about.
I agree with you on the ace solo album 🤘🤘

Carnival of Souls & Revenge is great KISS albums.
Totally agree peter criss was the shit.
Love those grooves. Such a unique drummer
Great 👍 review man
Creatures and lick it up are my favorite kiss 80's albums.
Rock and roll over has my favorite design
Partners in crime and nowhere to run should have been on creatures of the night , in place of keep me coming and I love it loud
