1. Snowblind from Ace Frehley, 1978
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX6UlUqLlxY Absolutely the best solo Ace Frehley track ever recorded, period. Snowblind is one of the finest examples of 70s hard rock morphing into metal right before our ears. The underlying riff is reminiscent of contemporary Sabbath and leads to a crushingly heavy (for the time) chorus. The tune also features some of Frehleys best lead work on what is simply the best overall album of the entire catalogue. Rip It Out, the albums opener deserves honourable mention. Thanks for reading one observer's opinions regarding one of Rock's most important figures. I hope you have enjoyed revisiting these songs or, perhaps, hearing them for the first time. If you believe that I've lost my mind or have less skill as a writer than the average pre-schooler then please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
