Top Five Worst KISS Albums

Top Five Worst KISS Albums
July 6, 2019
By Ryan Porzl

I've been a KISS fan since 2001 and they were the first band I got into. For 45 years, the band has released 20 studio albums as well as other material. When a band releases that much stuff and has such a long and rich history, they're bound to stumble once and awhile. With KISS embarking on their End of the Road tour, I figure I do some articles on KISS' work. The first will cover the few times KISS missed the mark. I'll mostly focus on studio albums not the Alive! albums or compilation albums with some new songs like Killers or Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits. This will not be in any specific order.

James Bond - Moonraker Intro + Song

Happy 40th Anniversary to Moonraker, the 11th James Bond and Roger Moore's fourth as 007. The movie sees the return of Richard Kiel as the iconic villain Jaws and the final one to feature original M Bernard Lee who had played M since the first Bond Dr. No in 1962 as he passed away in 1981 during production of For Your Eyes Only though he wasn't able. The song is sung by Shirley Bassey who makes history singing her third Bond theme after having already done Goldfinger in 1964 and Diamonds Are Forever in 1971. As of 2019, Bassey is the only singer to sung more than one Bond theme.

Bob Gun Batman 1989

Forget "Why so serious?", there's one true Joker quote to recite and remember: "Bob, gun" or at least "Did you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?". Also, sucks no other Joker in movies, TV, or comics ever had their own Bob the Goon.



"I'm Batman" Opening Scene | Batman (1989) Movie Clip

Great first appearance. Such a testament to Michael Keaton's talent as he was mostly a comedic actor but showed here there were no fun and games. Amazing how he went from someone people were dreading as Batman to one of the best.
