    Any old fans of "WKRP In Cincinnati" might remember in the very first episode that when they changed the radio station over from easy listening to rock "n roll, DJ Dr. Johnny Fever threw the Lawrence Welk-type record that was playing across the room and put Ted Nugent "Queen of The Forrest" on the turntable and blasted it out over the airwaves - I became a instant fan of the show

      Great show. Supposedly the reason you never see it on TV in reruns now is the music - they don't have the rights to it. There was one KRP mini-marathon on one of our cable stations last year & I noticed that the original songs had been replaced/cut out. The episodes weren't the same without the music...Oh the humanity!

    What Martin dislikes about the first three BOC albums is exactly what I like about them, the mysterious, murky, moody sound and production. It's like music from a whole different universe, the universe pictured on the first and second album covers. I can't rate these because I don't own Kiss, but these shows are making me think of giving a chance to a few of their albums. That's what I love about SoT, the infectious love for music can make a person re-look at how they think about a certain band/artist.

    • @captainkirk70
      @captainkirk70 5 місяців тому +1

      If you are gonna start on a KISS mission of studio albums I recommend. 1. Hotter than Hell 2. Ace Frehley 3. KISS. Otherwise just start with the two live albums. Personally I dig the studio albums for their moods. I love Dynasty alot too but that's a contrarian pick. It's great. I'm shocked they didn't rate Ace's solo higher. It's a perfect album. The weakest album is always Peter's. But strictly KISS the weakest is Love Gun. You really can't go wrong with any of the 70's records if big dumb rock is interesting. Destroyer might be a good one to start with if you are a big Alice or BOC fan. Personally I can't make it all the way thru a Ted record except the old greatest hits one. Way too much filler. He really had no business being mentioned in this ranking.

      @@captainkirk70 Thank you for the suggestions. Blue Oyster Cult is a top 5 favorite band of mine so they would have dominated my top 10. In high school I was a drummer in a band and we played two Kiss songs, Love Gun and Firehouse. I preferred Firehouse so the first album may be my starting point. I'm sure I'll enjoy the 70's Kiss stuff because I like dumb, silly lyrics 70's rock like Ted Nugent, and Kiss can be just as dumb of not dumber than Ted. I like my music intelligent like Peter Hammill, and I like my music stupid like Ted. 😂

      @@aldebaran4154 They really were good song writers. 99% of people prefer the versions on Alive. And I certainly used to. But as I got older I started to like the studio versions. They're kinda charming. And none of records sound the same except for songwriting style. If you find that the studio cuts are kinda lacking then definitely give Alive a whirl before giving up. It's those songs on steroids. KISS probably would have broken up without it as their records weren't living up to their concerts. They were deeply in debt because those records weren't selling and their shows were expensive to put on. I greatly prefer KISS to Ted. Alice would have been a better pick especially since they put the Amboy Dukes records into the mix.I think the Alice run from Love it to Death to Billion Dollar Babies is just fantastic. I think you will dig them. But then there's the nostalgia factor to think about. I was 8 in '78 and KISS was like a dream band for a kid. My walls were covered in their posters. Really tasty solos by Ace too. They're like songs within songs. I know them without really knowing them if that makes sense. Definitely give Destroyer a chance. It's generally looked at as their finest studio record. Total Bob Ezrin production. And for a Greatest Hits I recommend Double Platinum. It came out in 1978 and alot of care was put into it to make the different productions into a cohesive sound. For me, it's all about burnout. I rarely reach for an album these days but they are in my DNA by now. I'm 54. Since you're a drummer you'll probably either love or hate Peter. But many highly technical drummers love him and know he was integral to the original sound that made them famous. Without him it would kinda be like John Bonham playing with the Beatles. But not comparing him to Bonham or Ringo. And Peter definitely doesn't make or break a KISS song.

      @@jimilove7773 Absolutely. A lot of people hate them, and for awhile I thought it was maybe just nostalgia but they really were great. Especially when you compare them to others in their category. I wouldn't put them against the Stones or Zeppelin but they made far better albums than people give them credit for. Only a few filler tracks during their heyday. I even love The Elder. Lol. But I stop when the make up came off. Plus Ace was always my favorite member. I remember when I went to the Creatures tour the ad in the paper was a picture of the cover. Had no idea Ace wasn't still in the band. They kept that secret as long as they could. I think the show was one of the first dates on the tour. As a kid I had no idea that Peter and Ace weren't playing on some of the make up albums. Just took the cover for granted. It was a bummer that night but I got over it and still enjoyed the show. But had no idea who was playing guitar. I don't think they introduced Vinny at all.

    Great show guys. I think Alice Cooper would have fit even better than BOC.
    Now I've ranked these albums but I must say ahead of the list. I've never been into BOC as much as the other three principal groups. Now I've seen Kiss 10 times starting in 1975.
    I've seen Aerosmith 6 times starting in 1976
    I've seen Ted Nugent 11 times starting in 1976 when he opened for Black Sabbath & blew them off the stage.
    Now Blue Oyster Cult I've seen them 3 times & it's never been because of them. I seen Rainbow open for them. I seen the Black & Blue tour with Sabbath when Dio was in the band. And the last time they was part of the Summer Daze Tour with Steppenwolf, Foghat & Pat Travers. Oh, & I've seen Alice Cooper 16 times starting in 1973.
    My list.
    1. Rocks
    2. Ted Nugent
    3. Kiss
    4. Cat Scratch Fever
    5. Toys In The Attic
    6. Free For All
    7. Hotter Than Hell
    8. Weekend Warriors
    9. Ace Frehley
    10. Dress To Kill
    11. Aerosmith
    12. Night In The Ruts
    13. Love Gun
    14. Get Your Wings
    15. Destroyer
    16. State Of Shock
    17. Rock & Roll Over
    18. Draw The Line
    19. Tooth Fang & Claw
    20. Call Of The Wild
    21. Survival Of The Fittest live
    22. St. Paradise
    23. Blue Oyster Cult
    24. Secret Treaties
    25. Mirrors
    26. Spectres
    27. Agents Of Fortune
    28. Dynasty

    Hey Pete, Can you do a PSA about tinnitus & taking care of your ears as a muic fan? I've been suffering from it because of too many loud shows & as a musician being onstage & too many hrs of recording with loud headphones on. Can't listen to music like I used to because certain frequencies that make the condition worse day to day. Musicians like Huey Lewis, Ozzy, Neil Young, Lars, Pete Townsend, Dave Grohl, Moby & Streisand have publicly dicussed of heir suffering from tinnitus. One loud show can cause it for a lifetime. It sucks! Thanks Pete, love your channel!

    The last 10 were tough, often decided by one strong song putting it higher over another. The lyrics on most of Ted's stuff mean little to me so I sort of arranged them by favorite instrumental moments. If the list included live albums it would have been even tougher.

    Speaking of BOC...Just checked out their 'newest' = Ghost Stories. It actually seems to be one of those 'label obligation' releases (in other words not something the band really wanted to do, after all 2020's Symbol was supposed to be it...). This is a collection of older material (some dating back to the late 70's)/reimagined and newly completed songs.
    Now I'm not the biggest BOC fan, I like their more 'polished' stuff, so I'll quote one recent review: "most fans will know what they’re getting, some casual fans who don’t know the back story will just assume it’s a brand new collection of songs. Some fans will feel disappointed regardless because of the high bar the band set with previous releases". OK...I do like "Cherry" & "The Only Thing". Strange (for BOC) cover of The Beatles' "If I Fell" - not bad, just doesn't sound at all like BOC (to me anyway)...Be interesting what more hard core BOC fans will think of this...
