10 Hard Rock Albums With Only One Bad Song

It doesn't necessarily take a rocket scientist to figure out the crux of what's going on in your average KISS tune. If you have Gene Simmons at the mic, chances are you're going to be treated to a lyric sheet that's more or less just an extended pick up line stretched out for far too long. While the music always kicked ass behind the vocals, even the big guns can't fix something like Great Expectations.

Under the production guru Bob Ezrin, this entire song feels so wrong coming out of the voice of the Demon character, as Simmons starts to make connections with what could only be a groupie, as he describes different parts of his body and how he would like to spend some quality time with this object of his affection. There's nothing wrong with a song like this...unless you have some of the most hokey backing tracks ever conceived.

Pulling from classical music, this entire track treats this sleazy take on rock and roll like it's on the same level as high art, with Simmons clearly thinking that he wrote his masterpiece. It gets even more gross when you hear the children's choir come in to soundtrack this whole thing. No, Gene...having an angelic children's chorus serenading your groupie session wasn't something that any of us needed in our lives. You might be king of the world...now can you just do this somewhere else that's not on the album?
