PODKISST AND/OR ROLL - THE GREAT LOST KISS ALBUM OF 1978

Every year between 1974 and 1985 KISS released at least one studio album except for, technically, 1978. That year saw the release of the four solo albums, one by each member of the band, but no actual KISS album. On this crossover event, which is an episode of both the PodKISSt and Rock and/or Roll, a quintet of obsessive KISS fans have the gall to rewrite KISStory by asking themselves WHAT IF??? What if, in 1978, instead of releasing the four solo albums, the four members of KISS had pooled their resources and made a truly great KISS album? Imagine that, between Love Gun and Dynasty...

THE GREAT LOST KISS ALBUM OF 1978.

Created by Ken Mills

Each of the five of us carefully chose ten songs from a pool of 43 (which included the five songs from the studio side of Alive II and the songs from the four solo albums) and in our imaginations those ten songs would have comprised The Great Lost KISS Album of 1978. Once the ten songs had been chosen our task became the sequencing of the album, five songs on Side One, five songs on Side Two. The ten songs were chosen within parameters which were defined based upon precedents set by previous (and future circa 1978) KISS albums:

• At least two songs each by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
• No more than three songs by Ace Frehley.
• At least one song sung by Peter Criss, with the option of making it a song written by Paul or Ace but sung by Peter.

The Panel:

BJ, host of the Rock and/or Roll podcast.

Ken Mills, host of PodKISSt and Cheap Talk with Trick Chat.

Matt Porter, host of The Kiss Room.

Chris Czynszak, host of the Decibel Geek podcast.

Dvd Kaw Zin Ski, a.k.a. Fistful of Dave.

Created by Chris Czynszak.

LISTEN NOW to hear our choices and then...

Join in the fun and conduct the exercise yourself! 

Which songs would be on your lost KISS album of 1978? Select your ten songs from the list below (following the rules listed above), put them in order (don't forget side one and side two) and post them at any of our Facebook pages:

THAT’S THE KIND OF SUGAR PAPA LIKES

ROCK ME, BABY

KISS THE GIRL GOODBYE

HOOKED ON ROCK N ROLL

The Rules:

At least 2 songs each by Paul and Gene.

No more than 3 songs by Ace.

At least 1 song sung by Peter with the OPTION of making it a song written by Paul or Ace to be sung by Peter (think "Mainline" or "Getaway").

In this alternate reality Alive II is all "live" and includes Take Me, Hooligan, etc. Double Platinum comes later. And KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park is actually good.

and ROCK AND/OR ROLL.

ROCK AND/OR ROLL 017 - BADFINGER

Badfinger were the first band signed by The Beatles when they launched their own record label Apple Records in 1968 and the band had several hits before the harsh reality of the corrupt record industry came crashing down on their hopes and dreams. The band's song "Baby Blue" was prominently featured in the finale of Breaking Bad and sold 5300 downloads that night on iTunes. On this episode BJ tells the tragic story of the band but also celebrates the amazing songwriters that they were, especially true genius Pete Ham.

Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Joey Molland, Mike Gibbins.

ROCK AND/OR ROLL 013 - A CONVERSATION WITH SEAN SPILLANE (ARLO, THE WOMAN SOUNDTRACK)

Arlo formed in L.A. in the mid-nineties and eventually signed with Sub Pop and released two albums before imploding, but as we learn on today's episode, which features a great conversation I had with one of the band's two singer/guitarists Sean Spillane, the band recorded a third album for the label that was never released. If you want to hear the fascinating story of how a band gets signed and what happens next, have a listen. Sean Spillane is the nicest guy in the world and we had a great conversation about the story of his band, how he writes songs, and the great songs he's been writing recently for the soundtracks of several independent films.
