I know the critics love to pan Kiss, but I seriously put them in the same league as the Beatles when it comes to vocals... when Peter was on he was just as good as Rod Stewart
IIRC, Paul wrote "Hard Luck Woman" for Rod Stewart, but ended up keeping it for Kiss. I know he can find nothing nice to say about Peter now, but he clearly thought he had a Rod quality back then!
Kiss was a good band and I love and still listen to them but to put the m in the same league as the Beatles is ridiculous. I ve always found Peters voice to be obnoxious . I’m not a fan of Rod Stewart but he can sing rings around Peter. Rod Stewart is more of a musician and vocalist.
Hard Luck woman was for Rod!!! Lol That's just another bash at a living legend drummer like Peter!!! Gene said, in studio Paul tried to sing it, and Gene of all people said this sounds like a Peter Criss song, so Stanley reluctantly let the best damn voice in the band by far sing it!!! And, look at the results!!!@
Peter is by far the best voice in Kiss, and its easy to say!!! Black Diamond by far, he has such a powerful and soulful voice and beats the shit out of the drums 🥁!!!!!!@@!
Black Diamond is one of best songs ever live in history!!! Zeppelin Stairway, The Who Barba O'Reilly, Fleetwood Mac Go Your Own Way and the Eagles In the City live!!!
Weeeeeell... Im glad YOU made this list - theres no way anyone else would take on this mission impossible 😉 My reaction to EVERY entry on the list was: Hell no - this is his BEST song 😁 So MY list would be sooooo boring with 11 songs on joint #1... Thanx for posting your lists, truly enjoy them Love from Sweden 💖
@@allkissranked 👍 Thanx, after SEVERE heartsearching Ive picked out Beth and Finally found my way as joint #10, Hooligan as #9(😥)... And if you put a gun against my head... Mainline #1, Strange Ways #2, Nothing to loose #3, Black Diamond #4😰😰😰 and the rest joint #5... 😰😰😰I HATE YOU😫😫😫 THIS IS KILLING MY BABIES!!!!!! I cant... I c-cant go on... and somehow... I still love you... Love from Sweden 💖
@@allkissrankedYou REALLY should read the 90s (80s?) Bestseller "Sophies Choise" before you put me through something like this again...😁 Love from Sweden 💖
Paul was going to sing all of "Black Diamond." You can thank Eddie Kramer for Peter singing it. Peter told a fanzine back in 1988 that while they were working on their demo tape in 1973, Eddie heard Peter screaming (singing something, I presume) and said, "Why don't you try that?" After he heard Peter singing it, Eddie said, "That's it. He's doing it."
Pete may not be the best vocalist... Gene and Paul may sock him down whenever they get the chance... He may be the lousiest musician ever lived But...... EVERYTHING this washout made is a masterpiece... Peter Criss will FOREVER be up there Love from Sweden 💖
@@kevinchandler179 I couldnt agree more... Sorry about the misunderstanding, english isnt my language - I spoke from Stanley/Simmons view, where "Pete is this, Pete is that, We love him but... blablabla... God bless him, but... blablabla..." seems to be ALL they have to say about him... And if everything S&S say about him is true - then how come EVERYTHING he did was pure masterpieces, or at least really catchy!?!? I hope you understand that I didnt ment to criticize Peter Criss - I tried to question S&Ss demeaning comments about him... Have a nice day (mine just started-7 o'clock in Sweden) Love from Sweden 💖
The only magic I'd like to see happen to song #11 - I finally Found my Way - is some way for it to disappear quickly. I'm sorry but that joke was too easy. It's a shame that the final recorded vocal effort by Peter is that song. Baby Driver is very weak, true, but the music is not that bad. I think it's better than Hooligan. The photos on this list are great. My favorite Peter Criss vocal: Hard Luck Woman. He sings it very smooth and relaxed and rarely screams.
@@allkissranked out of all the raspy voiced singers from the 70s, and there were a lot of them, Peter was at the top of the crop. I can't picture Rod Stewart or Bob Seger putting the same energy and passion into Baby Driver.
Yah don't nothing aboyt kiss I love kiss save my life it change forever i had kiss cd and dvd and i remember back in the days when my cousin heard kiss band when he put the album that he had change for me i miss him and he sh i w me his kiss stuff that i hear was beth thats the reason i bought the album because kiss was the most band in the world i ever see them performing on stage i saw it in Houston tx thats the only band i get chance to see them live and i never forget that rest of my life kiss awesome if you didn't know them too bad look up on them the kiss history if you don't know they about them you should see it for your self im fan i have kiss shirys and people i wearing on they know who's kiss is well they wear makeup fire blood smoke guitars is their performing it guitar flying and spitting blood flying in air
Two songs of Kiss reached the number 8 on the US billboard chart, Beth was the first while Forever was the second, Beth is sang by Peter while Forever is sang by Paul, so Peter wasn't a great singer, nor he was a great drummer, but he sang one of those two ballads that brought Kiss higher on the billboard chart, Peter Criss has better songs on his solo albums.
@@kevinchandler179 bullshit. I’ve read every Kiss book published and tonnes of interviews-Bob was being polite and political. Peter’s joke version had very, very little resemblance to the finished product we know. It was mostly Bob and Stan. Not to mention, Peter was notorious for trying to get his friend’s songs onto Kiss records-and taking 50% of the writing proceeds-even though he didn’t deserve it.
Paul has always been jealous of Pete because they know his voice is the best for the band he clearly could have been more secsusfull if they would have given him more operunity to do balads.
If you like Peter Chris as the singer of kiss and he’s your favorite then you’re not a kiss fan, and all the songs mentioned in here are easily forgotten
My rankings would be WAY different- though Black Diamond would be #1 by a mile. There are a few albums where I'll skip the Peter song. Hooligan and Dirty Livin' are lame IMO. I can live without Beth and Mainline is easily my least favorite off HTH
The great equalizing metaphor about opinions/bungholes: "Everyone's got one and they all stink". Appropriate for any numb-nut who would place "Baby Driver" at this list's designation.

1. Baby Driver
2. Hooligan
3. Getaway (brilliant Vocals)
(My favorite 3 Songs with Peter’s Vocal)
Every song Peter Criss sung was amazing and fantastic and legendary!!!!
the first three albums are raw, the songs are amazingly composed and every one of that just kicks in the nuts
I agree!
Peter had a great raspy rock voice, Black Diamond, Nothing to Lose etc. He's probably my favorite voice in KISS.
I agree! That and the heart with which he sang.
Black Diamond is one of best songs ever live in history!!! Zeppelin Stairway, The Who Barba O'Reilly, Fleetwood Mac Go Your Own Way and the Eagles In the City live!!!

Peter great drummer and singer!
Agreed!
Unbelievable and fantastic and underrated and underappreciated!!!
Peter was a damn good singer and drummer.

Love your rankings!
Thanks! I have fun making them!

I'm very glad he insisted on it. KISS fans have a lot to thank Eddie for.
No, they all should thank Peter for making Black Diamond and Hard Luck Woman a frickin legendary song 👏!!!@
Hard Luck Woman for me!
I agree!
Black Diamond as well!!@
Pete may not be the best vocalist... Gene and Paul may sock him down whenever they get the chance...
He may be the lousiest musician ever lived

Thank you for your commentary of "I Finally." One of the most God awful things I have ever listened to.
And what you've done with the bed music is really cool.
:) Yeah, it's a pretty bad song. I feel kinda bad because a lot of people seem to like it, but I just think it's so damn cheesy.
Thanks!
I like all of his songs
1. Baby Driver
2. Strange Ways
3.Dirty Livin‘
4 Hooligan
Black Diamond is frickin amazing, and every damn live version is fantastic!!!! Peter Criss and Ace shined like a mother fucker on Black Diamond!!!
Shout out to hatters they the ones that makes kiss famous and fans they are cool i wish i get to chance to see them in person
No arguing with the top 2, I like every song on this list, yes even the much maligned Finally Found My Way lol.
:) yeah I do think the verses on that song are pretty cool at least.
List pretty spot on there.
The only magic I'd like to see happen to song #11 - I finally Found my Way - is some way for it to disappear quickly. I'm sorry but that joke was too easy.

No one cares about pitch problems on Black Diamond, Nothing to Lose, Getaway, Hooligan, Baby Driver, Hard Luck Woman etc
I didn’t know he sang black diamond 💎
Dirty Livin and Baby Driver are awesome
I really like Dirty Livin'. I think I'm in the minority here, but I've never enjoyed "Baby Driver".
I appreciate the comment.
@@allkissranked out of all the raspy voiced singers from the 70s, and there were a lot of them, Peter was at the top of the crop. I can't picture Rod Stewart or Bob Seger putting the same energy and passion into Baby Driver.

Personally, I'd put mainline higher
That's fair. I really like that song as well.
Do Ace next
It's in the queue!
Two songs of Kiss reached the number 8 on the US billboard chart, Beth was the first while Forever was the second, Beth is sang by Peter while Forever is sang by Paul, so Peter wasn't a great singer, nor he was a great drummer, but he sang one of those two ballads that brought Kiss higher on the billboard chart, Peter Criss has better songs on his solo albums.
Yeah, It's crazy how much of KISS's success is due to Beth.
Hooligan.
... won't go to school again😎
Certainly a fair choice for #1
Number of songs Peter ACTUALLY wrote himself: 0
Yeah his contributions are probably pretty minimal on most of these.
So
Beth!!! Stan Pendridge and Bob Ezrin said he did write Beth, Bob just helped him structure it!!!
@@kevinchandler179 bullshit. I’ve read every Kiss book published and tonnes of interviews-Bob was being polite and political.

@@glengamble526 Your a joke!!! Catman out
Paul has always been jealous of Pete because they know his voice is the best for the band he clearly could have been more secsusfull if they would have given him more operunity to do balads.
Peter Criss is criminally underrated singer! Drummer meh, singer yes 🙌
True! He really has a great voice.
He was a bad ass drummer .... I am a drummer!
He was a great drummer.
He was absolutely fantastic and amazing as a drummer
If you like Peter Chris as the singer of kiss and he’s your favorite then you’re not a kiss fan, and all the songs mentioned in here are easily forgotten
My rankings would be WAY different- though Black Diamond would be #1 by a mile. There are a few albums where I'll skip the Peter song. Hooligan and Dirty Livin' are lame IMO. I can live without Beth and Mainline is easily my least favorite off HTH
Solo alobums songs are not even there
Yeah just ranking his songs on full band KISS albums. Otherwise the list would be a bit long.
Hooligan???????????
I'm confused. Are you saying having Hooligan at #3 is too high? Too low?
Paul is kiss worst singer.
Hooligan in my opinion is his weakest song.
It's definitely a bit silly, but I like his vocal performance on it.
Thanks for the comment!
Hard luck woman is the greatest Peter Criss cut in my opinion
I had a tough time choosing between that and Black Diamond.
More than likely best singer in this band of misfits!!!
You can certainly make a case for it!
The great equalizing metaphor about opinions/bungholes: "Everyone's got one and they all stink".
Appropriate for any numb-nut who would place "Baby Driver" at this list's designation.
Ha!
Thanks for watching and commenting, "Numb-nut" comment aside. :)
