Favorite P.C sung tune on KISS lp

Some silly fun for the New Year

Strange Ways, followed closely by Black Diamond. Nuthin to Lose, Baby Driver and Hard Luck Woman.

I voted for Strangeways.

Always liked "Hard Luck Woman."

Strange Ways for me as well

I like Beth, even though nobody else seems to.

A good enough song for what it is,I suppose.

Hooligan

Strange ways

Strange Ways

Nice. I've always thought that Ace's Strange Ways was an underrated song from the Kiss catalog.

Dirty Livin' is really underrated. Peter always gave a great vocal performance on these songs. Baby Driver, Hooling and Hard Luck Woman are some of my favorite KISS tunes but I had to go with Black Diamond.

Agree!!! Plus, he put down one of his best solos ever on it!!!

I went with 'Baby Driver', I love Criss' voice on that.

like HLW but voted for BD.

Black Diamond, followed by Strange Ways, Hard Luck Woman, and Beth.

Black Diamond for me, though Hard Luck Woman is very close. I always liked Hooligan too. Beth would've been higher if it wouldn't have been so overplayed when it came out.

It's a well kept secret that they brought Rod Stewart in to sing the Peter Criss songs in the studio...

'Black Diamond' for me, btw I have always liked Peter Criss's raspy, like TZ mentioned Rod Stewart like vocals, too bad he is not a better songwriter.

It's almost true though, as Paul wrote it with Rod in mind, as a first attempt to write songs for other artists, but was so pleased with the result, he opted to use it for KISS.

Strange Ways then Black Diamond. Wow Criss sung alot of crap.

Not sure if it's accurate, but I heard Rod Stewart rejected it and Gene convinced Paul to give it to Peter to sing. I'm actually kind of surprised Stewart would pass it up, it sounds like something he would record and is a great track.

I read somewhere that Paul was merely trying to write a song in the style of something Rod Stewert would record as a writing exercise and "Hard Luck Woman" was the result. Great tune....I even like the Garth Brooks version w/KISS as backingband and the Paul sung version on "Unpluged"

Ahh, fair enough. I got my info from Wikipedia which is hardly that reliable, so I'll go with you guys.

I voted 'Hard Luck Woman', just because it's one of the earliest KISS songs I knew. I think I had it on a 45 or maybe one of those old KTell compilation albums.
