If KISS is going to continue cranking out greatest hits CDs (even if not ALL the songs are hits!), then I think their next one should be their greatest hits of the more recent material. GREATEST KISS is, as some have pointed out, a good way to go if you are still only a Private in the KISS Army, and just want a compilation CD of some of their best work to add to your rock collection, but to diehards like us, as Ace used to say in that NY accent of his, "Fuggetaboudit!" Once the new fans have tasted the great old KISS songs, why not hit them with a Greatest Hits CD that includes: Lick it Up, Heaven's on Fire, Tears are Falling, Crazy, Crazy Nights, Anyway You Slice It (LOVE that tune!), Bang Bang You, Let's Put the X in Sex, Rise To It, Hide your Heart, Forever, Unholy, Take it Off, God Gave Rock and Roll to You II, Domino, I Just Wanna, and maybe even Fits Like a Glove. Now THAT is a greatest hits album! All the best songs of the post-Ace/Peter days. I have most of those songs on either cassette or CD, and would certainly buy THAT one! Unfortunately, greatest hits albums only contain a few of their REAL greatest hits, so this one will never be made. Some of the best songs are still only available on the studio albums so that fans will still buy those CDs as well. Oh well. Money talks....
