What is the most famous KISS song?

Post by pieceofme »

Really only two viable candidates:

I was made for lovin' you
Rock and roll all nite

It's kind of funny that Aces version of New York Groove is in the top 5 most famous KISS/KISS related songs.

That song blows the rest of those stupid solo albums right outta the water.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Outside the US it's IWMFLY and not even close. That song was on compilations and played at parties and events from the 80s and on.

If non-Kisstards know any more songs it's Heavens on Fire and Lick It Up.

This! IWMFLY is their only crossover hit in Europe.

Have to agree. In North America, especially from its release through the 80s and 90s, I would say RARAN. (They didn't even play IWMFLY when the originals reunited in '96.) But, if you look at streaming, it isn't even close. IWMFLY is more popular/famous now.

In Europe they did. Didn't know they added songs to the setlist during the 96 tour, I thought they just cut a song or two after the first show (s).

They played it in Vancouver in May 6/97. Me and my buddy scored 2nd row centre tickets and started waving our hands in the air and booing when they started IWMFLY. Definitely got the old stink eye from Stanley who saw and heard us. Hate that fucking song.
