Kiss - Greatest Kiss (1996)

With Kiss back on the road in full makeup and with their original lineup, 1997 proved to be the perfect time to revisit the band's rich history of fist-pounding pop-metal and sweeping power balladry. Greatest Kiss hits all the highlights of a career that by this time spanned a quarter century--"Deuce," "Strutter," "Rock and Roll All Night," "Do You Love Me," "Beth," and "Calling Dr. Love." A few curiosities appear as well, such as "Sure Know Something" and "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (they're far more disco-oriented than you might remember) and a newly recorded version of "Shout It Out Loud" taken from their 1996 tour. Clocking in at 16 tracks, it's a comprehensive hits collection.
