Has to be the worst instrumental I have heard!

Can't believe people are mentioning "Think About You"! The intro is enough to negate it from this list.

That was the original double album that would've been a better single.

Agreed. But I don't like that song regardless of who's playing it.

Almost every one of my favorite records has at least a single dud:

Getchoo on Pinkerton
Heaven Can Wait on Bat out of Hell
Rocket on Hysteria
Title track on Heaven Tonight
In Finland we have this thing called "Reilu Meininki".

I too have never been crazy about "On Fire."

I also like VH2 better.

We do things a little different around here. 8)

Old Time Rock & Roll.

Seger's Stranger in Town is excellent, except for that one. I know it was a huge hit and all, but I've always hated it. Maybe its the corny lyrics, or the association with Tom Cruise prancing around in his underwear, but take that song off the album and it's perfect.
*I kinda want a new screenname. Seriously. I barely watch racing anymore. :x

And hearing every stupid wedding band play it. Agree.

If so, ditch the 2 hit singles 😀

No, it wouldn't be the same album then. You can't lose anything on Destroyer even if there are weaker songs. Do You Love Me is as much a defining song for Paul as God of Thunder is for Gene.

"Great Expectations" is Klassic Kiss: Big huge grandiose production and lyrics that are basically "You want to give me a handjob."

Do You Love Me is great. GE is corny.

As a huge 70’s KISS fan…I first heard and ultimately owned Destroyer in kindergarten…I think it’s among their absolute worst. Even terrible Hooligan is better.
