10 Rock Albums That Were Killed By One Song

10. I Was Made For Lovin You - KISS

In terms of raw hard rock attitude, there was no one who could equal KISS in the mid 70's. Their brilliant combination of rock bombast combined with the circus like spectacle of their live shows made them one of the most successful bands on the planet. However, even the 4 Demons of Rock weren't bulletproof against the trends.

When going into the studio after completing their solo albums, Paul Stanley had come to the forefront with a song that had a disco bent to its delivery. The record was far from hard rock, but the hook line was too much for the rest of the band to pass up. Though "I Was Made For Lovin You" was a huge hit for the band, it could be credited as the song that killed off their hard rock goodwill.

The subsequent album Dynasty ended up being a suprisingly decent KISS release, but with this song as its main selling point, many soldiers in the KISS army were staying home instead of running out to buy it. This also marked another end of sorts, with Peter Criss leaving shortly after the album's completion and Ace Frehley following suit a couple albums later. "I Was Made For Lovin You" isn't even that bad of a song, but it was the disco treason that left many hard rockers feeling burned for years.
