How often do you hear death metal in public?
Excluding the Christmas season, how often do you hear hymns in public?
Both of those are already very private.

And regarding Christmas songs, there's a heck of a long list of those that should be banned, too.

Too often. And every church you go by on Sunday, not to mention funerals
 
And we all know Billie Jean is not your girl, Michael.

This guy thought it was cool. :biggrin:
 
Hotter than Hell came out in 1974.

I think it's a cool album. :noidea:
 
It's always been funny to me how the songs that get the most radio play are inevitably the WORST songs from any given group or performer.

Steppenwolf: Born to be Wild
Marshall Tucker Band: Can't You see
Rolling Stones: Start Me Up
Ten Years After: I'd Love to Change the World
Jimi Hendrix: All Along the Watchtower
Police: Every Breath You Take
Skynyrd: Freebird
Grateful Dead: Touch of Grey
Doobie Brothers: China Grove
David Bowie: Let's Dance
Allman Brothers: Ramblin' Man
Clash: London Calling

I could keep going, but I think you all get the idea. Some of those songs may not be terrible, but they're not really indicative of what the group or artist can really do. Yet these songs become synonymous with the performers. If that's the only one you ever hear, I understand why you never bought any of their albums.

I like two KISS songs. And when I say "like" I mean I would want to include them in a playlist.

"Parasite" off Hotter than Hell (1974)
"God of Thunder" off Destroyer (1976)

The rest rest of their studio songs are tolerable-to-lame to me. What I respect most about them was their live shows from the '70's. They were a bad ass live show back in the day. That's a YouTube rabbit hole to dive into sometime.

Sorry, "Sweet Caroline" needs to go. Use some headphones when you continue to listen to that song.

And yes, "Under the Bridge" is a good one to add to the list.
