This is an alltime favorite of my! Lands somewhere between #10 and #20. I love when their voices join together for the choruses…a real fun road-trip album to sing along with.
(Remind me…which ones Lucky?)

I’d say Cooper more than Kiss. Alice had a more cinematic arc to his songwriting. Kiss was mostly dragged over to the conceptual arena by their producer on a couple records (both times w/ Bob Ezrin)

You’re absolutely right, I’d overlooked that Destroyer remix when I posted this. However I was thinking of someone else… a Bob Ezrin recruit.

Can’t deny any of them… I will say the Christmas set is lacking on print detail in comparison to all the others. I love the backstory and various perspectives included in all the other sets.

Here in the states, the intros were stated thus… “you’ll notice I’m gravitating stage right towards my fellow countrymen. That’s because on the other side of the stage I’m charged a tariff to stand next to the two Americans!”

It’s a little surprising Ian didn’t get invited to play on Genes solo album…everyone else in the entire recording industry is credited.

Thanks for the data on that … I did a google search for overall album sales: KISS = 100 million, Tull = 60 million.
I haven’t searched this for accuracy but I’d venture only Tull topped album charts (twice, w/ TAAB + APP)… sound right?

I haven’t done the math on this so truly don’t know, but I’d ask…ARE they more popular on a global level? And how are we measuring? Cumulative album sales? Some other measure?
For the record, both bands were hugely influential to me. Kiss first, Tull later (and still).

Gene is becoming much more endearing and lovable in his later years. He’s the reason I first desired to pick up an instrument (bass guitar) when I was 14.
